The book, “The House of the Scorpion” by Nancy Farmer is a 3 time award winner and a fantastic novel in the genre of utopia and dystopia. Matt is a clone saved from the burden of having a blunted intelligence. Evidence from the book supports this was a faulty move. The novel also says why El Patron blunts their intelligence; it's fully out of greed. Overwhelmingly, it seems that these things played a big part in the outcome of the novel, and why Matt is such a interesting, dimensional character in the book.
“ SOmetimes it’s the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.” Keri Russell. In the novel “ The Wednesday Wars” by Gary D Schmidt Hollings father decides that his sister is not going to college. Although Mr.Hoodhood has said no Heather can still make her own decisions according to what she wants in her life, so that she makes the results of her life and changes what she wants to change. In this situation heather has been beaten, but I think that Mr.hoodhood is wrong because you should go to college no matter how old you are.

What would happen to the world when the Government and the drug producers create a partnership that benefits each side? This is reality in The House of the Scorpion, by Nancy Farmer. The drug producers are given land between Mexico and the United States, known as Aztlán, that is theirs to do whatever they want, without the interference of outside government, as long as they make sure no illegal immigrants come to the U.S. In the middle of all of this, there is Opium. This is the largest exported drug from Aztlán and the center of young Matt’s life.
Nancy Farmer's intended message in The House of the Scorpion is that your choices are what define you, not your origin. In the beginning of the novel, at El Patrón's party, Matt forces Maria to kiss him. "'I demand a birthday kiss'...'It's my birthday too,' said Matt, 'and I can have anything I want. Isn't that so, mi patrón?'" (109). This quote shows how, at first, Matt thinks that him being the clone of El Patrón means he has to, and should, be like him. He tries to impress him and tries to use the power that El Patrón has. This relates to how many people think where they come from defines them. For example, someone born into a family of criminals may not see the point in trying rise above it. They may not see that they have a choice to be

After getting to know this, ?Daru felt a sudden wrath against the man, against all men with their rotten spite, their tireless hates, and their blood lust (211).? From this point, we can see that Daru does not like violent.
Zig Ziglar once said, “The foundation stones for a balanced success are honesty, character, integrity, faith, love and loyalty.” I feel that this quote relating to The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, means that you have to have loyalty to have success in life. This quote explains itself in the Crucible by how Elizabeth was hurt by the affair Proctor had with Abigail. Since Elizabeth is motivated by loyalty her decision to lie in court results in her loss of John Proctor by the end of the play.
The Quote “ultimately the civil war reduced sectional antagonism and made the united states ‘truly one nation “.
Ammirus taught Darrow to question rules and authority and he imparted in him the value of human life, regardless of behavior or color of the person (Farrell 25). Although both parents had a large impact in influencing him, Darrow believed it was his mother who influenced him the greatest (Kersten 9). Regardless of who influenced him more, his father instilled many of the values that shaped the man whom Darrow became and he never parted from those values. Whereas Darrow did not receive affection from his parents, he was intensely sensitive, compassionate and empathetic for the living; humans and animals alike. Darrow “refused to eat fowl ever again” after his mother butchered and cooked one of the chickens that he preferred and had named, and later he stopped eating lamb and veal (Farrell 26). Recess and lunch were his favorite part of the school day and he loved to play and watch the game of baseball as a boy as well as an adult (Kersten 15).
In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee writes about a small Alabama town. This story takes place in Maycomb County, Alabama during the Great Depression. It’s narrated by a little girl called Scout. The book tells the story of a family and their involvement in a trial with a black man being accused of rape. Scout’s father, Atticus is the accused man’s lawyer. In her novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee uses Fire, a Mockingbird and Camellias to foreshadow the loss of innocence.
The authoritative figure in The Guest is Balducci, where he instructs Daru to deliver the Arab prisoner to prison– something against Daru’s moral beliefs. His rejection of duties is evidently displayed when Daru thinks the prisoner is escaping, and rather emitting a desire to catch the prisoner back, he exhibits a sign of relief, “He is running away...Good riddance” (Camus, 243). Nevertheless, he understands the consequences of evading authority, which could perhaps even result in Daru’s demise. It is this struggle that has left him in a state of bafflement–to risk himself for the sake of others, or to do what authority believes is right. Regardless of Daru’s initial action of rejection to Balducci, where he “insults” (240) him and unwilling accepts his order to deliver the prisoner, the transition to conform to authority never ultimately happens–the realm of absurdism deems any choice mere nothingness, which reflects Camus’ view on choices and the importance of choice, or lack thereof. Nevertheless, Badu strives to do what he deems his right, knowing the consequences involved. Additionally, from the initial encounter with Balducci and the task, never was Daru enthusiastic about his obligatory task–rather, he tried to give freedom to the Arab prisoner to decide his own fate and even displayed hospitality to the prisoner as though he was a guest, “Eat...come...lie down there” (Camus,
