Eliana Rodriguez’s Reviews > The House of the Scorpion > Status Update

P. 2/2 Plot Type: The text says, “He is an animal,” Steven said after a pause. […] “Matt’s a clone” […] “That’s disgusting. Clones aren’t people.” Cried Emilia” “Matt’s a clone, you mustn’t go near it.” (Pg.26-27) This fits the plot type because it demonstrates that clones like Matt, even if they actually have human intelligence and human sentiment like he does, he’ll still be treated badly just because he’s a clone.

Protagonist:
In The House of the Scorpion, the protagonist is Matt because the story starts getting into motion in his point of view, and because he’s the only clone around. One way the author shows this is when “Matt stood at the front of the door and spread his arms to keep Celia from leaving” (page 1). This evidence shows that the protagonist is Matt because the story starts off talking about him.

Characterizon: Matt (Matteo Alacran) is curious, and observant, this is shown in the text on PG. 30 "Matt found that if he lay perfectly still, his wounds didn't hurt too much." Which shows that he was observant to notice such.

UPDATE: when you were gone, I was confused for the most part and assignments flew by me, i'm not sure how many I actually got done, nor how many there were, but wrote a lot more write zones than I read, so there's a few more write zones than read zones because I was confused as what to do for most of the time you were gone, although I do take most blame on my behalf for not asking for help.
