El Patron Analysis
The climax of the story is when Matt finds out the purpose clones serve. This is the climax because it is the major problem in this story. If El Patrón needs an organ, then Matt is the person for El Patrón to turn to even if Matt doesn’t want to donate. Shortly after Matt finds out, El Patrón passes out at Emilia and Steven’s wedding and needs an organ from Matt. Celia tells El Patrón that when he had a heart attack a while ago, Celia poisoned Matt just enough so that his heart wouldn’t be stable enough to implant. El Patrón, shocked, dies a few minutes later. Mr. Alacrán tells Matt that they have no use for him and orders for Matt to be killed. Matt then finds a way to escape from the help of Tam Lin.

From Matt’s point of view, we see that it is wrong for El Patrón to use Matt just for organs like the other clones are used for. However, if the point of view was from a different character, for example, El Patrón, the reader might think it is perfectly normal for Matt to be used just for organs. El Patrón believes he deserves to have the lives that his siblings have lost and that he also gives the clones a better life than they deserve by educating them and treating them like his own children instead of blunting their brains when they are harvested. In El Patrón’s point of view, the reader may think that Matt is being ungrateful. If the reader read the part regarding Celia poisoning Matt just enough so that El Patrón could not use his organs in El Patrón’s point of view, they feel that El Patrón has been betrayed while in Matt’s point of view, the reader may think that it is actually something very heroic that Celia did. An example of being biased for who represents the villain of the story is when you are watching a documentary. For example, if you were watching a documentary about a certain predator and they were hunting prey, you would most likely be on the predator’s side, hoping it could catch its prey. If it were the prey being chased by the predator, you would most likely be on the prey’s side, hoping the prey could

    This is proven once Matt attempts to assert his authoritative position by daring to “…demand a birthday kiss.”(Farmer, 109) from Maria. He realizes he is treading boundaries he should not cross, yet his cockiness to prove that he is not some nuisance is too great. Rather than become ambitious, though, he realizes his mistake, instead of becoming power hungry like El Patron. It is crucial to note that Matt makes plenty mistakes, most unintentionally. One prime example is his kidnapping of Furball, Maria’s dog and unfortunately,”…killing her dog.”(Farmer 133). After every step he misses, the Alacran family is there to push him down further. The ordeals Matt goes through are presented in a variety of ways; the betrayal of the Alacran’s and Tam-Lin; his will to survive when trapped in a massive field of bones; or the way he returned to Opium with death as an imminent threat. Matteo Alacran was born a fighter, and he lived that way…

    Pedro And Me Analysis

    Pedro and Me is the book that I chose for my review. I chose this from the humorous category because Chris Johnson told me that it was funny. The author of the book is Judd Winick, who was on MTV's show The Real World. Judd comes onto the show knowing that one of his roommates was HIV positive, but he did not know who. He soon meets Pedro and learns that he is the one, and realizes how normal it is living with somebody that has the HIV virus. This book had its' funny parts, but I probably would not consider it in the "humorous" category. The book is animated and written like a cartoon because that is Judd's specialty as you will later learn.…

    In the Novel “Argo”, the author, Antonio Mendez communicates to the reader that in order to pull off inconceivable acts of contrivance, one must think outside the box. Many people think that crazy and unusual plans never work (especially when dealing with an exfiltration). Their understanding is that when one goes with the ordinary they have a better chance of slipping under the radar. This book helps to disprove that theory by showing its readers the ways a plan can work when it goes bigger and bolder than the ordinary. The book also goes beyond schemes and helps the reader to realize this theme through its profound drama and real life events. Its intensity highlights the seriousness and risk involved with taking chances, but also shows…

    Bias In Super Size Me

    • 1480 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Bias: Bias is when a documentary has an inclination towards a particular view or opinion. It is important when creating a documentary that all opinions and views are recognised and explored in the film and that it doesn’t focus entirely on one side of the story. An example of a documentary that is biased is Super Size Me, directed by Morgan Spurlock. The documentary primarily focuses on the detrimental effects of fast food and it does not mention any positive effects it could have. The documentary shows Spurlock living off McDonald’s food for 30 days in order to display to the audience how badly his health is affected. However, Spurlock purposely limits the amount of exercise he does and mainly chooses high calorie food from the menu. This is influencing the documentary as he could have chosen a salad or done some more exercise and the negative health effects would not have been so severe. The only factual information used in the documentary highlights how bad fast food is and there is no…

    Most of the beginning of American history seems like a race of conquest between the Spaniards and Europeans with Native Americans caught in the crossfire. A seemingly peaceful group of people, the Native Americans were under constant attack from the moment settlers arrived into their territory. Historians can pull from first-hand accounts and primary sources to piece together the history of this nation. One Spainard exploratory mission wrecked off the coast of Florida with about 400 men (OTP S1-6, OTP 22). After long battles and shipwrecks, the expedition was cut short and only four men survived, one an African slave and Spanish explorer named Alvar Nunez Cabeza De Vaca. De Vaca wrote a narrative explaining his encounters with Native Americans who had never seen white or black people before. De Vaca described the Indians as “war like people…and protect themselves from their enemies as they would have if they had been raised in Italy and in continuous war” (OTP S1-6). He explains in his narrative…

    (1) After reading The House of the Scorpion, many thoughts and questions ran through my mind. One, was, as in almost all books, the ending. While Matt was starting his new life away from Opium, a lot happened at the Big House. At El Patron’s wake, Tam Lin opened a bottle of wine that was made the day El Patron was born- El Patron had said he wanted it to be opened at his 150th birthday party. The wine, as it turns out, was poisoned by El Patron. He had wanted, after he finally died, to be joined in Heaven by his ‘Dragon Hoard’. The ending of this awarded novel, is a great finale to the fantastic story Nancy Farmer created. It turns a page and finishes a chapter in Matt’s life while leaving room for more to come.…

    As a researcher, I can identify that bias by the author's argument appealing more emotional than logical, the writing piece have a limited view of the topic, and aspects of the writing are worded with the intention of oversimplifying and over generalizing. I can attempt to overcome that bias by refraining my usage of generalizations, support statements in my writing with facts & research, write objectively, and write inclusively. Writing objectively means to write without having a preset opinion or presenting a personal preference in your writing piece. Writing inclusively means to make sure that you are not excluding nor implying inferiority within your writing. Another way you can attempt to overcome that bias is to be specific in your writing…

    Everyone has heard the saying that there are always two sides to each story. Finding fault is usually about perspective. People usually side with the person that is telling them the story at that time. The person that is telling the story usually builds it up to look like the good guy because they leave out all of their faults or cover them up and point out the other person faults. The same thing can be said for characters inside a story. We tend to place tags of which character is the hero and which one is the villain by which one is the main character in the story. The main character in the story is usually the person that is narrating the event the way they interrupted them. We just see the story from one side so we miss out on what may…

    In the story the biased eye it tells how you associate one race with one thing. Such as when people where exposed to weapons they could make out black faces easier than white faces. This is true when it came to the bike thief in what would you do. The white male normally got away with stealing got questioned but very rarely got stopped. But when a black male was trying to steal the bike a crowed formed and stopped him really fast. When the female was stealing the bike people neglected the fact that what she was doing was prohibited by the law and when the male would come up they where treating her like a novice and helped her steal the bike.…

    Personalization is the most harmful of the biases. A news organization will make a decision to cover the person rather than the real story that they are a part of. This coverage eclipses the context of a multifaceted issue in favor of “human interest stories.” These stories tug on a person’s pathos rather than giving them a chance to think logically about issues.…

    This paper discusses a new evolutionary approach to Human Resource Management (HRM) and presents a development-oriented typology of HRM. It argues that ‘Human Resources’ are continuously evolving in organizations and that HRM can and must intervene in the emergent evolution process in order to influence the speed and direction of the development. HRM can either enhance or hinder the dynamics of evolutionary change of the qualifications and motivations of the workforce. It may also influence the development path of the ‘Human Resources’.…
