QUOTE 2 SLIDE 3
Quote: “Ruih was mak ng a b g efori io preseni noi jusi herselfs bui all of uss n ihe r ghi wat io
Chr ss e and Rodnet”
Analysis: The reader can draw parallels w ih Kaiht and Ruih here as Ruih atempis io “fi n” w ih
new peoples l ke a new school. The search for an dentit here refecis normal ieenage queston ng
of “who am I?” or even “who should I be?”. The adjectve “r ghi” s unusual here and vert
amb guous s nce ihet have had no exposure io med a or oiher people who could nfuence how ihet
preseni ihemselves. everihelesss we see Ruih n partcular be ng heav lt nfuenced and consc ouslt

a bel ef ihai ihet have no value. Furihermores i h ghl ghis how human ihe clones ares s nce ihese
