What was I wondering about?
Throughout the first couple of chapters, I felt like the story was all over the place. One day, Cecilia magically goes off and the kids come that day and take him away and towards the end of the section, Cecilia magically appears to come save Matt. I was also wondering why the father of Steven and Emilia knew who matt was and automatically thought that he was a beast and a terrible person. Matt has no knowledge? He was playing in his prison with bones as dolls and playing with worms. Why didn't anyone teach him what is right and what is wrong?
Has anything struck me about this section?
What struck me the most about this section is how everybody treats Matt like he isn't a human being. I totally agree that he's not, but he appears human, so why would they all obey the father because he's "the boss" or the father. Somebody should be standing up for whats right. I'm glad that maria took on a role of trying to save Matt because he isn't that bad of a person.
Why is Farmer making the choices she is in this section?
I believe that Nancy Farmer is making the choices in this section because she wants to gradually tell the story. She starts out as matt being born from a cell that was cloned from the "real matt." She then put him into a house with Cecilia, his guardian. And as they keep the story going, he makes his way into the Rich Kid's house and he manages to start growing with his character. He starts building a sense of being a human. The problem is, he doesn't know the difference from being wrong or right.
