Summary Of The Scorpion Quotes

Matt meet’s his new teacher for the first time,”‘ Learning is fun!’ said Teacher. ‘I’ll bet you’re a smart boy. I’ll bet you learn all your lessons fast and make your mommy proud of you’ […] ‘He can read a bit, though.’ ‘Reading is fun!’ Teacher said in a hearty voice.”(71). During this quote, Matt has just met his new teacher who tells him to call her “Teacher.” Matt notices how she acts a bit off or different than other people he has met. Most of the dialogue in this quote comes from Teacher and some of the words are from Tam Lin speaking for Matt since Matt still hasn’t spoken yet. This is indirect characterization for Teacher.

ve you ever got treated badly because you are different? Matt did in the book, The House of the Scorpion, written by Nancy Farmer. He got treated badly because he a clone. This book is about using livestock to clone human beings. It describes the behavior and relationship between human beings when they are born through normal way versus clones. The theme I think best is people treat others with disrespect just because they are different. The first evidence from the book is when Rosa mistreats Matt because she found out that he was a clone. The second evidence is that Steven, Emilia and Benito are unfriendly to Matt because he was a clone. The third evidence that support my theme is that Mr. Alacran and Felicia treats Matt very bad because

“Hey! We’re running now. Start moving.” I opened my weary eyes. In front of me was the dark face of the same woman who I talked to at dusk. Heeding her words, I rose and started moving to the exit of the barn, quietly evading the slumbering guard outside. I realized that she stayed behind for me and the rest were gone already. After we went over the fence, we started to run as fast as a tiger until we were out of breath and our limbs were sore. The weather was clear as day and the sun was right above me. Then, I heard the familiar sound of

The sirens were sounding, people panicking and running around. The speaker comes on “CODE RED, CODE RED!!! We have a leak in the reactor. We need to evacuate NOW!!” I started to run but then it all went silent....

We were running as if we were a part of the wind itself. I could hear their footsteps getting louder, with each passing second. They were gaining on us. I could feel my heart racing, my feet getting tired after each step I took, but I kept going. The German teenagers were still running after us after Michael threw that rock. Why did he have to have such a bad temper? Michael was a stubborn kid, he had black, parted hair and had those shoes everybody was talking about at school. Except he was homeschooled. He was wearing a casual blue shirt with some regular basketball shorts even though it was Halloween. Brendan was ahead of us.

Woosh. My eyelids flew open to the sound of something rushing past my face. Frozen with terror, I lie there. My eyes searched the dark room for whatever It was. I peered into the shadows formed from the light of GameBoy, I had left on that night. The shadows danced on the wall all around me laughing at me. Any one of them could have been It. Slowly, I brought myself up. My older sister had told me stories of many sorts of wicked creature that loved to eat little brothers. So, I had to be ready to fight whatever It turned out to be. I continued to scan to the room. My eyes pleaded with the world to give them something, anything to see. Woosh. “There it is again”. The noise coming from behind me this time. It was on the move. My heart beat swiftly,

I wake up hearing screams and feeling heat all over my body, the fire alarm is blaring and i run to my father.

That night was the last time I saw my father and where I embarked on a journey against demons and to get vengeance on whatever killed my mother.

Meanwhile, Nick, Russ, Ron, and I was walking through a towering jungle which was our backyard. Suddenly the sprinklers turned on and the water from the sprinklers was crashing down on us, it felt like bombs coming and fly at us. When the sprinklers hit the ground we bounced up super high. We all tried to escape the water hit me and I pushed into a slimy pool of mud. I was drowning in the mud I was sucked in slowly in this gross pool of mud, the Russ tried to save me and he succeeded .

Dew drops proceed to run down my back in a river of perspiration. A giant herd of killer cows thunders towards me. We are awaiting certain doom, and there’s nothing we can do about it. I strain with all my might to move in any direction, but my roots are planted firmly in the ground. Panic sets in as I realise what I'm doing is futile. (Nervous) “W-w-what are we going to do?” I nervously say to no one in particular as my bottom lip quivers. I’m surrounded by the terrified screams of my friends. The cows proceed towards us at an ever increasing speed, squashing our fellow ground dwelling friends into piles of mush, I realise that I await the same torturous fate. I shake like an autumn leaf as I try to think of a way to hide. (excitedly) I spy a nearby gum nut and feel a spark of hope. Snaking out my body I inch closer and closer, millimeter by millimeter I pull and grunt my way towards the small gum nut. Success! I slowly pull it towards me curling myself inside, to hide and wait. (cautiously) The sound of cloven hooves steadily grows louder and louder, until it’s an ear breaking roar. The ground begins to shake and screams erupt from all around me. I pull myself in tighter and wait until the ground stop shaking. As I pull myself from beneath the gum nut I realise that I’ve survived. (relieved) “I’m alive” I holler, another day survived, "moooooo" echoes, but it may be my

Meanwhile Nick, Russ , Ron, and I were standing in the jungle of our lawn. All of the sudden,we saw some humongous water bombs. Then Ron said “What do we do Amy.”

Meanwhile in jungle of the backyard Russ, Ron, Amy, and I ran for shelter as water drops coming down on us like missiles exploded all around us, as we ran for cover Russ found this tunnel that could protect us. As soon as the “bomb attack” was over we heard a lawn mower coming at us so we. RAN! With the giant lawn mower on are tail we went back in the tunnel where we thought we were safe, but then the lawn mower stopped of the tunnel sucking Ron up. He screamed, “help me nick!” Just as I grabbed him the mower moved along and we were safe at last. So we went to find shelter and a scorpion attacked us so we ran but luckily a ant saved us with his life. :( When are dad finally saw us he turned us back to normal and everything was back to
