    1. The setting of the story so far is the room where Eduardo is working. I think he is in some type of science lab. Lisa is a senior technician.
    2. Eduardo is not the only person in the room. The other person there is Lisa.
    3. Eduardo is trying to make a human being without using the natural way of child birth. It sounds like Eduardo is trying to make clones.
    4. The cells that Eduardo is using are over 100 years old.
    5. The cells are implanted into cows lined up being fed by tubes.
    6. In the end, one cell survives. Lisa says, "don't fix that one, they're left intact." In the book, Eduardo reaches for a needle to 'blunt the intelligence' when Lisa said that quote. When Eduardo reaches for the needle, it makes you think that all of the other people in the place where everyone lives, are fixed.
    7. Eduardo is about to inject a needle into the clone when Lisa tells him not to inject whatever is in the needle. The needle is not injected because the clone is a 'Matteo Alcrán. However, I do not know why he didn't inject the needle.

  2. 1. The setting so far in chapter is in a lab probably where they clone things.
    2. No he is not the only one in the room Lisa was also in the room but Lisa leaves half way through the chapter, Eduardo doesn't want Lisa to leave though because he said it's lonely without her. There is also the workers in the lab.
    3. he is trying to clone people by growing cells in the lab.
    4. the frozen cells are 100 years old, which is really old.
    5.the cells are implanted into the brood cow then it would make the clone.
    6. yes one does survive out of 36 that they originally had.
    7. they did not put the needle in Eduardo's clone and he said that they didn't have to and that they will thank him for this.

  3. 1: It takes place in a cloning lab. Eduardo is a technician working on cloning El Patron, the man that he is working for.
    2: As far as we know, Eduardo along with Lisa, are the only ones in the room.
    3: Eduardo is trying to create a successful clone of his boss, El Patron.
    4: The frozen cells are over one hundred years old.
    5: The cells are implanted into the brood cows that would eventually birth the clone babies.
    6: Yes. One out of the original thirty six embryos survived and was born.
    7: Eduardo is about to inject the baby with a needle containing a mysterious substance that is supposed to blunt the intelligence of the baby. The needle however is not injected because the baby is a "Matteo Alacran" and must be left intact.

    1. He was in a dark room in a science lab!
    2. He is studying 36 living cells. He was also in the room with Lisa, a worker.
    3. They were in the room cloning the cells.
    4. The cells were over 100 years old.
    5. He implanted the Embryos inside the brood cow.
    6. yes, the last Embryo survives.
    7. His is about inject the needle into the clone but the Lisa grabbed his arm and said,' don't fix this one, he is a Matteo Alacran. they are always left intact.

  5. 1) the setting so far is in a lab were he does the begging of the cloning and outside are the cows that he has to put them in. Also he goes to his house.
    2) no he is not there is another teacher and her name is Lisa.
    3) Eduardo is trying to create embryos that are going to be made into children.
    4) the frozen cells are over a hundred years old.
    5) the cells are implanted into a cows womb
    6) Yes there is only one that survives.
    7)it is about to get a needle injected into it. The reason it did not is because its special

  6. 1. Eduardo is taking care of cells in a dark lab and they are dying on him and he is worried that he might get sent to the farm

    2. he is not the only person in the room there is a senior technician named Lisa and she stays because he doesn't like being alone in the dark

    3. He is trying to make clones of himself.

    4. the cells are 100 years old.

    5. the cells were implanted in brood cows.

    6.all the cells die except for one because the other ones weren't taking care well

    7. He was about to inject a needle into his clone but when he was about to Lisa said not to because it would ruin his intelligence because they are always left intact

  7. 1. He is in one room the whole time that sounds like it's a lab. In the lab are workers trying to grow cells.
    2. No, the room is filled other workers also trying to grow cells, just like Eduardo.
    3. He is trying to clone a cell and he is watching it grow into a baby human. He must succeed because his job is on the line.
    4. The frozen cells are over one hundred years old.
    5. The cells are implanted into the womb of the cows to grow.
    6. Every single cell the workers are trying to grew dies, except for the one that Eduardo is growing.
    7. He thinks his clone is going to die like the rest of them, but for some reason it survives. And Eduardo might keep his job.

    1. The setting in the book so far is in a dark lab. In this lab they have cows that move with metal arms. These cows are the surrogate mothers.
    2. Eduardo is not the only person in the room. The other person is Lisa she is a senior technician.
    3. Eduardo is trying to clone human babies.
    4. The frozen cells are over 100 years old.
    5. The cells are implanted into brood cows.
    6. At first there were 36 cells then when he moved the cells into an incubator where half of them died so now there are 15. Then there was only one and it has survived so far.
    7. Eduardo's clone was born and he was going to fix it but then he didn't because Lisa told Eduardo not to. She also told him that he would thank her for it later.
