Ok so in case you don't know, I read The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer for outside reading this quarter.
"'What's going on?' came a voice Matt hadn't heard before. A large, fierce-looking man burst into the room. Steven immediately straightened up. Emilia and even Maria looked alarmed. 'We found a kid in the poppy filds, Father,' said Steven. 'He hurt himself, and I thought the
doctor...the doctor--' 'You idiot! You need a vet for this little beast!' the man roared. 'How dare you defile this house?'" (Farmer 23).
This quote shows how disgusting Matt is found to be because he is a clone that he needs a vet and not a doctor to treat him when he is bleeding. It also shows the extreme prejudice against him when he never did anything wrong. This adds to the sense of confusion that Matt is feeling because he doesn't know what he is or really what's going on. It also builds a feeling of distrust and dislike against the people who are discriminating against him and mistreating him when he did nothing.
