Dereks second blog


So far my book is getting more and more interesting by the chapter. I am really getting into this book. There are few problems and few things that are going good. One of the problems is that El Patron just died this is either a bad thing or a good thing. It’s a good thing because Matt was supposed to give him his heart for transplants so El Patron could remain living because he believes that he is owed lives because his brothers and sisters all died at very young ages. But since Matt and Celia angered him his heart rate went up and he died from a heart attack. Matt also thinks this is a bad thing because he loved El Patron and he wasn’t closer to anyone else he felt. Except for Celia maybe but he still loved El Patron even more. The theme of this book is trust I think. I believe this because Matt put his life in a lot of people’s hands and he trusted a lot of them. Tam Lin for instance was supposed to kill Matt but instead because he liked him and he thought he was different than the other clones that El Patron made he brought him to safety so Matt could be free and wouldn’t have to worry about being captured and killed. Matt trusted that Tam Lin would help him instead of killing him. And Celia kind of poisoned Matt a little bit not enough to kill him but enough to make his heart unstable for transplants so he wouldn’t die when El Patron needed his heart to remain living. Celia also sacrificed her life so that Matt would remain living. I believe I am reading through the falling action right now Matt is kind of settling in right now to a new environment and its getting kind of routine for him to be there.

The reason I picked this book was because it was a longer book and it challenged me more then the other books I have recently read. I only have a few frustrations with the book one of them at first was understanding what kind of creature everyone kept saying he was they kept referring him to a creature and I didn't understand why at first. It was because he was a clone. Then I didn't understand how he was cloned. I didn't know you could clone people yet. Then as soon as I met his cloner it told me that he was about 150 years old and he was skin and bones. But he had the what seemed to be the ultimate respect and I guessed that it was because he made a clone of himself with his DNA. One of the things that is going well is the connection between Matt and Tam Lin (bodyguard). They have this kind of bond that they are both neutral with each other without words they feel comfortable around each other. Another thing that is going well is the bond between Celia and Matt they were seperated from each other for a very long time and then they were once again brought back together and now they love each other more then they did before because they realized that there love means a lot. This story so far takes place on a farm and a big house and a little house these are the places where Matt usually is. The main character is Matt and the other characters they dont play as much of a role are Celia, Tam Lin, the Teacher, Maria and about fifty more. Those are some of the reasons why I liked this book and I hope it maintains to be as good as it was so far.
