Cold Equations

People die everyday from natural causes. We lose all our loved ones in an instant and there's no way of every getting them back. But from Marylynn's sight, the only family she has is her brother. He is one of the crewmen who need the serum to survive another day. But there's only one flaw holding the crew back from not being able to travel the space 8,000 miles to inject the serum, and that is Marylynn. All she wants is to see her brother, but has no intention to try and save the others. Only wants her brother back. Is it her fault? But oh of course it is. She wastes the Stardust's crews time by asking if she can fly with them to retrieve everybody. Even when she know's she'll just be extra body weight. The ship can run on so much fuel to get to the planet. And if she were to get on the craft, it'd slow progress down a couple miles, which will cause the ship to drift into space, with no chance whatsoever of recovering. So the fact of the matter is, Marylynn is NOT one to go into space.

Freedom & Equality

Be free from one and not the same. Freedom is the passion of people being able to live their lives the way they want them to be. Equality is the similarity of one another. Not being equal is racist. Not being able to be free, is hatered. And my question is, who you like to live in a world where everybody is exactly the same and are equal in everyway?

My answer to that question is no. Who in their right mind would ever want to be the same as someone else? I have people in my class who cannot stand each other, let alone want to be the same as the other. Being equal to everybody else is not right. Every person is this world is different in some sort of way from one another.

Being able to have freedom in this world is pure. If everybody were handicapped like in the story, Harrison Berguron, there would be hell to pay. Nobody in their right mind would close to be locked up like prisioners, then have complete freedom in this world.
