Spring break work

                Sorting multi-colored beads in a warehouse until my battery dies is something I can’t accept, because I’m a human.  As every other human I have something that proves I’m fully human and that’s my emotions, feelings, and intelligence. Every human wants opportunities to become successful or master certain skills or just be good at something. To achieve those things other humans and I need education, scholarships, and job opportunities.
                By nature like any other human I have feelings and emotions.  One of them is motivation I feel motivated to do something more than sort multi colored beads in a warehouse, motivation is what brings me hope of become someone important one day. Motivation played an important role in “Ready Player One” by Ernest Cline. Just as Wade the main character of this story was motivated to find Halliday’s Easter egg. He wanted to find the egg because that meant and opportunity for him because finding the egg will give him Halliday’s fortune and hope for a better life. If we appeal to statistics rich people are eight times likelier to graduate than poor. That’s the reason why I feel motivated I want to change that, but without scholarships or job opportunities it will be impossible. Intelligence is something that can make us see a difference between humans and machines. Having good grades proves I’m intelligent it proves I’m worth something important.  Wade was also intelligent he was the first one who found a clue that could take him to Halliday’s Easter egg, for about five long years no one ever found a clue Wade was the first one who did it. He also watched 180 episodes of a popular series of the 1980’s (family ties) because he thought it could give him clues since it was one of Halliday’s favorites. When I’m homework or projects I do the same thing I do research.  
                Another interesting thing about Wade is that he questions the existence of god which means he doesn’t believe in any religion. If I would be a machine I wouldn’t care about religion. I’m different than Wade because I’m a religious person. If we appeal to popularity most humans have a religion and I fit in that group. Humans are friendly by nature we don’t like to feel lonely that’s why we do things like going to the movies with friends, play sports, videogames, study, go to school, etc. I am someone who likes to spend time with friends and get involved in activities that make me meet new people. Wade is a perfect example when we talk about friendship has a friend (Aech) although they don’t know each other in person they have become great friends because they spend a lot of time together searching for the Easter eeg. Every human has a hobby something the liked to do because they enjoy it. Personally I enjoy playing sports and listening to music. Robots and machines can do anything like that because they are assigned to do certain tasks.  If we appeal to the public I’m sure they will understand that I am a human, because I have gave proves that prove I’m human.

                The science fiction world of Ready Player can’t be compared with the world where we live today. However it gives us great examples of what makes someone human. Feelings, emotions, intelligence are things that make me worth something. Every human has the right to get a better education, scholarships, jobs and anything that will help them improve and be better persons. That’s why I have hope that I’ll be recognize as a fully human.
