I think that the most important literary aspect that Farmer has shown the theme of trying to become human . This is shown through the fact that Matt tries so hard to do good at school and earn others respect. But no one can get over the fact that he is a clone and not a normal human being. It shows that few people care for you if they believe that you are a sub-human or a animal. This is apparent when Rosa keeps Matt prisioner for 6 months and treats him like a pig or chicken. This theme is kept apparent for the first nine chapters as only a few people actually care about Matt while the rest hate him for being a clone. This is why the theme is the most important literary aspect of the book as it convey's the main lesson that Farmer is trying to show.
The other main literary aspect is the setting which helps convey the theme to us. The border between Mexico and the U.S is a ripe setting and the big house is a great setting to meet the rest of the family. This setting helps us understand the characters and why they are here. Each of the room settings move the story along and the writing gives you a vivid picture of where Matt is at all times. The setting helps impact the theme of the story as the time period is 100 years in the future and this means that cloning is possible. The combination of the theme and the setting help realize the literary aspect of the film.
