In the beginning of the story there is a boy named Matt and he lives in the poppy fields with a woman named Celia and he has never met anybody besides her. The main conflict in the book is that Matt is a clone and clones are looked down at and treated very poorly works but Matt is different. The solution is that Matt is El Patron’s,the ruler of Opium,clone so people don’t treat Matt as bad as other clones are treated. Also he doesn’t have the injection that destroy a clone’s brain. At the end of the story Matt returns to Opium after a long journey in Aztlan and is

However, he is in a future where humans despise clones. El – Patron a 140-year-old leader of a corrupt empire who nestled between Mexico and United States of America wants him to be educated, respected, and to be cared for. The theme of this book is to compassionate and forgiving even if they are you hate them.

Speech, thoughts, effect, action, and looks are words that are helpful in order to find out a character's personality. Those exact five words form the acronym STEAL, which is a tip to figuring out a character’s personality. Mean, kind, selfless, outgoing, responsible, abusive, repulsive, humorous, and silly. All of these adjectives could possibly explain at least one character from any book. Some characters might seem to have the same personality as each other, but I can assure you that no two characters personalities are the same, unless its a copy of a book of course.

There are a lot of themes of music among the human history that have caused a great impact in society. Music is consider as a way of expression, because artists can show their perspective about the different situations that society had affronted.

Although they are all different, they have similar characteristics. All four characters are outgoing and independent, which we can see multiple times when they are told to keep secrets by the cyberbully. “Forcing them to keep secrets is what A does best.” All four of the girls also have different personalities and different hobbies which add their own situations to the story. Emily is very sporty she is on the swim team and loves anything fitness.

When viewing these characters in their isolated scenes, they are able capable of maintaining my interest, but sadly when forced to interact with one another, they lack a needed chemistry or an intellectual or emotional challenge between them that would allow its smaller moments to remain charged with engaging

In Chapter 23, we talked about the many different ways that a population can evolve over time. Relating to the topic of this chapter, an academic journal published by Karasawa et al. (2015) discussed how different species of scorpions existed on different islands of Japan and Taiwan. From what we previously know about evolution, these scorpions could have been the same species at an early point in history but due to the founder effect, one species might have established a new population. This could have been a result of the islands being separated by the Kerama Gap, a specific waterway that separates these two species (Karasawa et al. 2015). It is a possibility that these species of scorpions have a common ancestor and because of the changing

While they each are all uniquely different, they all hold quite divergent perspectives and notions, and because so, act out on those values in varying manners throughout the show. In doing so, audiences learn that each

Nancy Farmer’s novel, The House of the Scorpion, is set in the not-too distant future that is similar enough to our current world that it can be unsettling and eerie. It’s like the present but flipped upside down. The story walks us through places we know, but are given different names, which throws the reader for a loop.
