El Patron In The House Of The Scorpion
Did you know that in 1996 a sheep named Dolly was cloned? It is true, scientists have been working on cloning living things. But they aren’t able to clone a human because that is not yet legal. In the book The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer a boy named Matt is the clone of a powerful drug lord named El Patron. He is living with a woman named Celia when he got hurt and had to be taken to the Big House, then he ends up meeting El Patron and living in the Big House. Throughout the story Matt starts making friends with different people that treat him like a human instead of a clone, Matt has a choice to make to see if El Patron is worth it for his body parts or not. I believe the overall theme of this story is friendship. I also think the message she is trying to get across is that friends are never apart, maybe in distance, never in heart. In the story Matt really only makes a few friends such as Celia, Tam Lin, and Maria are three of the main ones that treated him like a human.

Throughout the story Matt has to learn that some people aren’t going to be his friend and that he needs to be thankful for the friends he has or has had. Celia, Tam Lin, and Maria show that they really care about him as the story moves
