                                                                     Summary
           With the development of technology , you can create your pet by nuclear DNA and money . Missy 1.0 , Mira and MissyToo 's “genetic donor ” , was Mr . Hawthrone 's mother 's dog . Mira and MissyToo live with Mr .Hawthorne . Missy is a eugenic dog , she has superior intellect ,beautiful and obedient . Although the clones had the same nuclear DNA as Missy , they were born moths apart and none are fully grown yet . As that reason , the clones vary in size and color ;And their behavior only have 77 percent similar . Since some of the discrepancies , the bidder was not so satisfying about the result . As the behavior of clone is not so similar to the beloved dog which have already died .

                                                              Personal response

            Undoubtedly , that technology is not highly developed . It has still hazard to fail potentially .Therefore , I totally object people to reproduce their pets . Firstly , that pet will not be the one you are familiar with . Secondly , it only will make you more upset and miss the pet which passed way .Moreover , I feel so scary that some scientists want to use this technology into human reproduction . Sometimes , what human do is so horrible . If human being keeps on abusing the technology , it may harm ourselves eventually for a return.

Week 6 -Sally for The House On Mango Street

If I were Sally , I think she would write about her wretched life . The reason why I choose that character is that she is a bombshell ; Therefore , we guess that Sally may have a happy life because of her appearance .However , her appearance caused her pathetic life .
If I were Sally , I would write  why I have to obey what my father said ”beautiful is trouble ” . Why I have to be beaten if my father catch my looking sideways at a guy . Why he behaved so cruel and irrational ? He behaved like that because her sister who he feels shamed the family by running away from home and his strict religion . I want to be the girl like others .Hanging out with friends ,dancing or to do what the other girls will do . That is the thing I want to write about if I were Sally .
