Status Updates From The House of the Scorpion

Okay this is getting a lot better

3/30 PREDICTION: I predict that Mateo will rise up above judgment and show society that he is more than just a clone, he is a human being. In the book, Mateo is courageous and stands up for himself and this shows that he has the motivation and strength to prove himself. I think he is going to save Maria's father, who has done nothing but insult him and cast him out.

3/23 CONNECTIONS: This story reminds me of The Outsiders. In the book, Mateo is separated from the rest of society. This relates to the Outsiders because like Mateo, the Greasers are outcast from society based on their values and the judgement of others. Mateo is outcast from humanity because he is a clone and society doesn't value them.

5/18 MINOR: A minor character in this story is Maria. In the story she tried knocking on the door which Mateo behind the door at his house. This shows that she is curious because her siblings assumed it was an abandoned house and she was knocking to see if anyone was inside. She is a character who Mateo, the main character, eventually likes romantically.
