Michael Vey The Prisoner Of Cell 25

Indefinite detention is an extremely controversial issue consisting of valid arguments on both sides of the debate; however, Queensland’s Dangerous Prisoners (Sex Offenders) Act 2003, including the amendment made to it in 2009 and part 10 of the Penalties and Sentences act 1992 (Qld) all provide a desirable outcome. These laws are scrutinized by many but evidently all contribute to the equitable way that this system functions. Although on the face of it, indefinitely detaining a prisoner may be perceived by some as infringing the fundamental rules of law, in reality extensive measures are taken through the legislative processes of these laws to ensure that a just decision is made in respects to the continuation of a detention order.

During this week I read Prisoner B-3087 By Alan Gratz, Yanek was moved around to handful of concentration camps. Yanek was moved a camp called Birkenau. Right when the Jews arrived at the camp they were ordered to take their clothes off. They had been put in a room with sprinklers on the ceiling. Yanek was thinking to himself this is going to be the end, I’m going to die. Then the sprinkles turned on and ice cold water came out. In the text I read, “ I was going to live! I laughed I cried, and so did the other men.” This made me realize how thankful Yanek was. I can relate to this because I have been thankful, last year my great grandma had a stroke, Half her brain ended up dying and she was paralysed. After I found out she pasted away I was

Michael Vey is most definitely not your average fourteen year old boy, for more reasons than one. He has Tourette’s syndrome, which causes him to have “tics”, such as increased blinking and gulping. Michael also has some dark secrets from his past that make him different, like the fact that he was the cause of his father’s death. However, what makes Michael stand out the most is his ability to shock people with whatever power he chooses. He has electricity running through his body and he can “pulse” at any time with whatever strength he chooses.

To do this, he had to realise that sometimes there are things worth dying for, whether you want to or not, as in this case, “You promised you would never leave me[...]. If it was my choice I wouldn’t” (Evans 306). Michael was able to complete his missions but not without sacrifice.”I was pure energy,”(Evans 319). He did everything he did in order to help improve the quality of life.

In life people may run into many obstacles that will create a bump in their path, in these occurrences they must persevere and strive for what they believe in.
