Themes In The House Of The Scorpion

Summary: The book is about a boy that is a clone name Matt. Matt was created by El Patron for body parts but Matt didn't know that because he thought he was different and special. When Matt was young he didn't know he was a clone until he got to the house of the Alcan when Mister Alcan told his children and the maid that he is a clone and Matt overheard them. Matt didn’t believe them though. They kick Matt out of the house over the night. Then they notice that he is El Patron clone and brought him back in and put him in a shed like place. That is when Matt realized that he is a clone and even though some people hates and doesn’t respect him he still have some people that stills loves him. Then Celia Matt's so call caregiver (Matt and I think that is him mom) and also the cook told El Paton. El Patron was mad and ordered them to get matt out. After Matt got out he had a good life. For example he got to become a great music player, he got kind of a girlfriend, also learned how to survive and escape dangerous things from
Tam Lin. Tam Lin is Matts and El Patron Bodyguard and also like Matt's dad. Like I said Matt had a good life until El Patron was dying and needed a new heart. That is when Matt learns that he is not special and is used like every other clones for body parts. Matt Tried to escape with Maria (the youngest daughter of Senator Mendoza) but Emilia (the oldest daughter of Senator Mendoza) and Steven (Mr. Alcan second son) took Matt away. Matt got saved by Celia because she made Matt’s heart bad so they can’t use it for the heart transplant and that's when matt made a run it but Tam Lin got him. After that El Patron died, Matt though that Tam Lin betrayed him but Tam Lin saved him instead. That when Matt reached the town of Aztlan. Matt got took by keepers but they wasn’t bad to Matt at that time. After Matt worked with them for a little that is when they took Matt to the Plankton Factory and that when the keepers hated him but some people like his friends still like him. His friends didn’t know that he was a Clone though. In the Plankton factory Matt has been through a lot. But after that he escaped he went looking for Maria. He found her mom Esperanza and then she found him. Then Matt had to go stop a lockdown at the House of Alcan. That when he learn that mostly everyone died because of an old drink except for a few people. One of the people that is alive is Celia. Matt was sad and also mad that Tam Lin for killing himself but after that he man up and decided to start a new adventure. Favorite Scene: My favorite scene was when Matt asked Maria for a kiss at the both El Patron and Matt’s party. It was my favorite scene because it was unexpected and shocking. Recommendation: I recommend you get this book because it was fantastic and interesting. It was so amazing that I don’t have enough words to describe how good it was. The reason why is, because of its unpredictable twists, that leave you to wonder what would happen next. One problem was that, near the end for the book everything seemed rushed and it doesn’t pull you to admire the book as much.

Tone: In the book House of the Scorpion Ton-Ton has the most interesting tone among other people. I think so because he stutters a lot in the book. A few times in the book he does stutters at all because he is serious and also when telling a story to Maria mom Esperanza Conflict: One conflict was between Matt and himself. At the beginning Matt is thinking about is he a human or a clone and if he bad or good. Throughout the book Matt was stress with chooses he had to make. One day in the book Matt accepted that he is a clone. He know majority hates him but also knew that some people still loved him.

Mood: In the House of the Scorpion Rosa mood changes throughout the story. In the beginning of the story she was kind of nice. I say that because she helped Matt when he was bleeding out. After she found out that Matt was a clone she change her mood for kind of nice to mad. She took Matt out of the house when she found out he was an clone and also she was the one who put in in the shed like place. She mostly act nice around Doctor Willum because they like each other, but sometimes she is made at Willum. After that El Patron found out what Rosa did to Matt, they turned her into a eejit so now she have to listen to Matt and the commands they gave to her. Theme: The most important Theme in the house of the scorpion is Judgment.
For example many people judge Ton-Ton because he stutters a lot so most people think he is dumb and also doesn’t think he knows anything and most people doesn’t believe what he says. Setting: The first important setting of the book is the hospital. I think so because that is when
Matt see another clone and gets worried is he going to be like that and is that thing like him. Another reason why the hospital is important is because that’s when he found out that he wasn’t special and is used like every other clone for body parts.
Another important setting is the Aztlan. It is important because that is where Matt escape from Mr. Alcan because he didn't do the heart transplant. Another reason why that the Aztlan is an important setting is that where Matt meet the Keepers and his new friends. The keepers are just like the Alcan. Most of them hate Matt and doesn’t respect
him.
