The House of The Scorpion #2


Reading Reflection #2

 

 

Book: The House of The Scorpion

Author: Nancy Farmer

Pages Read: 21-40

 
The House of The Scorpion.

                                                                     
Getting further into the book, the story continues. The curious little boy Matt decides to run after his new friend Maria, in this I make a prediction. I believe our friend Matt is about to get into trouble, and this is where our story is going to start.

… We also later on find out Matt is a clone! In this story clones are made for workers (ill make sure to get to that later). The clones are made and their brains are basically fired but, Matt was allowed to keep his brain which leads me to the prediction that Matt has a very strong purpose in this story.

Pg.35, I made a Text to Text (T-T) connection. I’m slowly opening my eyes to this novel and I am realizing this book, and the way it’s written is much like one of my favorite book series, Maximum Ride by James Patterson. There is a strong connection between these two authors and their writing forms.

Till Next Time.   C

NEW.


1995, born the second. America was my home,
 torn away from the familiar at 5. Things changed, but I'd do anything to keep my family together.
9 years old and still didn't fit in, hated to learn  till the age of 15.
Writing saved me.
Crashed a car at the age of 16, everything changed.
My dad saved me, Mother protected me, and my Sister helped me to grow.
My family is my life at the age of 17.
