House of the scorpion

Conflict

plot

all the times everyone has called Matt a clone or a beast or an it (AA) throughout the novel leads up to him running away and eventually becoming they're leader.

Setting

Problem & Result

i believe in this novel it is mostly man vs self or man vs man but at points it is man vs nature

start; a little house in the poppy field

middle; after Matt cuts his foot and is taken out of the chicken litter he stays with Celia and Tam Lin in the big house

end; in El Patron "dragon horde" imagining a conversation with Tam Lin

P: Matt does not know that the only reason he is alive is to one day hand his body over to El Patron when the old man needs parts

R: once Matt finds out he attempts to run away and succeeds to try and escape to Aztlan then Amarica

Theme

page 39, her cheek bones stood out beneath her taught skin.

page 41, metaphor, he might have been a stuffed bear for...

page 78, simile, why was he being left out there like a piece of trash?

page 112, ... came back with h0hideous clarity, AA and good description

To live they died

in the novel El Patron would always repeat his story about his brothers and sisters dying (AA) and when he decides it is time he uses Matt for the parts he tells it again but he uses a different ending "don't you think I'm owed those lives?" when he died he was 140 years old "you've had thousands of lives"

Matt: Matteo Alacran, the clone and Maria's crush

Celia:Chief cook and Matt's caregiver

Tam Lin: Bodyguard for both El patron and Matt

El Patron: the original Matteo Alacran; a powerful drug lord

Maria: Younger daughter of senator Mendoza and Matt's crush

Tom: son of Felicia and Mr. MacGregor and an evil weasle

Thoughts on next book

predictions, he will become the most powerful drug lord and control all of Aztlan and go crazy with power.

personally I don't think there should have been a second book but that's my preference

Predictions 2

Predictions

  • chapter 20 page 194, I thought that Marias mom was going to show up
  • chapter 21 page 203, i asked myself "who's going to die?"
  • chapter 22 page 215, does Maria get mad at Matt again or did Matt finally realize El patrons real use for keeping Matt alive and not destroy his brain

during the novel I made several predictions

  • page 127, I predict that Matt will not use the laudanum on Maria's dog.
  • chapter 15 page 146, I predicted, due to the title, Matt would go on a hike on him own and find a starved bird. i was wrong, El Viejo died and resembled a starved bird.
  • chapter 16 page 156, Matt and Maria would try and talk but be caught by tom or senator Mendoza
  • chapter 18 page 178, from the hobbit a knew a dragon hoard was a dragons stash of all his riches so i guessed that it was El patrons stash because everyone is scared of him, like a dragon.
