"Zeena herself, from an oppressive reality, had faded into an insubstantial shade." This quote from the perspective of the main character, Ethan Frome illuminates Edith Wharton's theme and message of silence, the working force in the novella which tares the characters apart.

Matteo Alacrán is a clone, which are the roadkill of the land called Opium in the book The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer. Matteo, also known as Matt throughout the story, is the clone of the Lord of Opium, who we later find out is a very evil man. At a young age, he had no friends besides his guardian, Celia, and lived in an isolated place in the farms of Opium. When he was six years old, he is found by 3 children. Steven is the original Matteo Alacran’s Great-Great-Grandson, while Emilia and Maria are the children of the Senator of the United States.

Matt meet’s his new teacher for the first time,”‘ Learning is fun!’ said Teacher. ‘I’ll bet you’re a smart boy. I’ll bet you learn all your lessons fast and make your mommy proud of you’ […] ‘He can read a bit, though.’ ‘Reading is fun!’ Teacher said in a hearty voice.”(71). During this quote, Matt has just met his new teacher who tells him to call her “Teacher.” Matt notices how she acts a bit off or different than other people he has met. Most of the dialogue in this quote comes from Teacher and some of the words are from Tam Lin speaking for Matt since Matt still hasn’t spoken yet. This is indirect characterization for Teacher. In this particular quote, the author is using the method “speech” to show the teacher’s feelings towards teaching. Earlier in the book, the author also uses Matt’s thoughts to characterize Teacher as being a little bit weird. From this quote we can figure out that Teacher is very excited and optimistic based on the amount of exclamations she uses. We know that she is very cheerful based on the way that she talks about how learning and reading are

To understand Cassia you have to understand that she is very protective of her friends and family. She always does something to make her brother either happy or safe. For example, she said “what I risk has a limit. I won’t risk Bram”. She is very loving towards Ky because she would always talk about him and how perfect he is. She is always very observant because she could notice things no one else did like the poison in the food when the old turns eighty.

Cassia doesn’t realize bending the rules is necessary until she meets her true love, Ky. This supports the theme because as soon as she realized what her father did, it became for love easier for her to break the rules.

However, her love for her family limited her diving headfirst into rebellion.

Friendships will come and go but you’ll know when you have a real friendship, because it will be there forever in your heart, even if he or she is not there with you.

Max being one with a learning disability and Kevin being the other with a disease of morquio syndrome. Throughout the book it shows us the adventures and the challenges that Max and Freak go on and face together. In the fiction book Freak the Mighty, written by Rodman Philbrick, two themes showed.

After reading Freak the Mighty and participating in this lesson, I have learned a myriad of thoughts/ideas pertaining to friendship. These thoughts and ideas are much more different than they were before. For example, before, I used to think that a friend is someone who liked the same things as me and never disagreed with me. But now, I know that a friend is someone who will be honest with me, who will be there for me all of the time through thick and thin, and who will enjoy my company. This is far from what I accepted as the truth of friendship, and I owe it all to this course to expose me to the true meaning of friendship

ve you ever got treated badly because you are different? Matt did in the book, The House of the Scorpion, written by Nancy Farmer. He got treated badly because he a clone. This book is about using livestock to clone human beings. It describes the behavior and relationship between human beings when they are born through normal way versus clones.

The second evidence is that Steven, Emilia and Benito are unfriendly to Matt because he was a clone. The third evidence that support my theme is that Mr. Alacran and Felicia treats Matt very bad because
