1) Matt thinks that tam lin is going to dispose him int eh goop at the eejit pens, because that is the way he was acting to him and obeying mr alacran.
ReplyDelete2)Tam lins' real plan is to bring matt to the oasis and get him the supplies he needs to escape from opium because matt will be killed if he stays.
3) No Celia did not become and eejit because tam lin just put a mark on her forehead that makes it look like she is and eejit.
4) I think that he means that he cant escape because he will never forget what he did. Even if he wants to forget it is scared in his brain forever. He cant Escape them because everyone knows so even if he finds a way people will still ask him why he did it.
5) He means that El Patron developed opium but instead of making it modern and futuristic he kept it like things were one hundred years ago in the past. He did everything that he could to make it like it was one hundred years ago, with the paintings and the bricks and everything else.
6) Matt is going to go to aztlan and once he gets there he is going to go to san luis. Once he gets there he will ask for directions to Santa Clara to get maria, then get her mom.
1. Matt thinks Tam Lin is taking him somewhere to dispose (kill) of him, like Mr. Alacrán told him to. They no longer need Matt because El Patrón is dead.
ReplyDelete2. Tam Lin’s real plan is to bring Matt to the oasis and help him escape across the border to Aztlán, to find María and her mother Esperanza.
3. No Celia is just hiding in the safe horse pens, pretending to be an eejit, where she will be safe from the Alacráns.
4. I think he means that he feels to guilty and must face the consequences of his actions. For example, accidentally killing those children, or maybe he feels guilty about helping El Patrón with whatever he has been doing.
5. He means El Patrón has been able to keep Opium to his personal liking. Like the old buildings, the lack of technology, El Patrón wants it to be like his old village where he grew up. Which was a very log time ago.
6. Tam Lin is sending Matt across the border to Aztlán, where he is to find María and her mother, Esperanza. He wants Matt to help Esperanza make Opium a better place.
7. He sees factories, and hears machines clanking.
Delete8. The Farm Patrol is guarding the border to Aztlán, and Matt barley escapes past them. The manage to grab his backpack, but he wriggles free. El Patrón didn’t want people to leave Opium so he had the border guarded.
1. Matt thinks that Tam Lin is going to put him down (kill him). He thinks Tam Lin is going to this because Mr. Alacran told him to that and it sounded like Tam Lin agreed.
ReplyDelete2. Tam Lin is actually taking Matt to the oasis where he can get the supplies out of the chest and help him escape to the border across to Aztlan.
3. Celia did not become an eejit. She is just hiding in the Safe Horse stables. She is just acting like an eejit.
4. I think Tam Lin can't escape because of his moral consequences because of the bomb that killed 20 children. He thinks that he doesn't deserve to live in the real world again. This is sort of like a prison sentence for Tam Lin.
5. Tam Lin means that Opium is 100 years in the past because it is supposed to be like when Patron was a kid except just a big rich kingdom.
6. Matt is going to cross the border over to Aztlan where he will go and try and find Maria and Esperenza.
7. Matt heard: the grinding of machinery, blast of horns, and music.
8. Matt sees the Farm Patrol patrolling the border. Matt succeeds at crossing the border. The main reason he was able to get across because someone else tried to get to Opium so he just barely got by the Farm Patrol.
1: Matt thinks that Tam Lin is going to kill him, because that is what Mr. Alacran told him to do.
ReplyDelete2: Tam Lin is actually planning on showing Matt how to escape and telling how to get to Aztlan.
3: After what she did to save Matt, she was supposed to be turned into an eejit, but Tam Lin put a mark on her forehead so that it looked like she got the surgery, while in reality she wasn't an eejit.
4: He can't escape because like he said, when El Patron has something, he never lets it go, including people. This means that El Patron will never let Tam Lin leave. Also he is still feeling guilty for killing all those kids.
5: Opium if 100 years behind because El Patron wants everything to be like what it was when he was growing up over one hundred years ago, and so it is.
6: Matt is going to Aztlan where he will hopefully find Maria and her mother.
7: Matt sees an industrial metropolis with factories and loud noise.
8: He has to get past the farm patrol. He does succeed.

ReplyDelete2. Tam Lin’s plan is let Matt escape and give him all the materials he needs to climb the Ajo Mountains so he can escape to Azlan.
3. No Celia did not become an eejit but Tam Lin gave her an eejit marking because he was told to take her to have her turned into an eejit.
4. I think Tam Lin feels very bad for what he did and can’t get over knowing what he did.
5. This means that El Patrón kept Opium the way it was when he was a child and kept everyone’s lifestyle as it was as a child.
6. Matt is going to Axlan to catch a hovercraft to San Luis. He is then to find the Convent of Santa Clara where María is.
7. Matt sees hawks patrolling the valleys. He sees factories, skyscrapers, roads and hovercrafts. A smudgy brown haze covered everything. There were booming, clanking and thundering noises.

ReplyDelete2. Tam Lins real plan is to let Matt escape, he gave Matt all the materials to climb the mountains and then escape to Azlan
3. No she did not become a eejit because Tam Lin didn't turn her in to one. Tam Lin did give her a eejit marker to look like a eejit.
4. I think that he means that he literally can't forget what he did. He thinks about it all day and he can't stop. It will never leave his head what he did.
5. Tam lin meant that El Patron made opium from 100 years ago because he wants everything to be like when he grew up.

1. matt think that Tam Lin is going to dump him off at the eejit pens in the yellow goop and is going to put him out there because he finds out that Tam Lin is a mercenary. and he thought this was real because Tam Lin also called him alone
ReplyDelete2. tam Lin faked everybody out and took him to his oasis because he wanted to help matt escape and he got tools from his chest for Matt.
3. fortunately Celia did not become an eejit but she is hiding in the safe house stables faking to be an eejit so she will be safe from the bad guys (Alacrons).
4. I think that Tam Lin thinks that he cant leave because he killed those 20 kids so he doest want to escape because he doesn't want to live happy for what he did.
5. this means he froze the opium for 100 years because he liked to keep things he way they were when he was a kid.

7. When matt walks over the mountain the first ting he sees a bunch of buildings, hover crafts and lots of factories and it was super loud because it was a city.
8. matt sees the farm patrol. he gets over safely but sadly he lost all of things that he needed to survive.
1. Matt thinks that Tam Lin had turned against him since he got a new job with Alacran. Matt also thought that he liked killing kids since he killed 20 kids on the bus and didn't even care.so Matt thinks that Tam Lin is going to drop him off at the eejit's pin.
ReplyDelete2. His real plan was to take Matt to the Ajo path which lead the way to the mountains to Aztlan. He did this so that Matt wouldn't get killed.
3. Celia didn't become an eejit, She went to the pin and acted like and eejit but she actually wasn't an eejit,kind of like what Matt did but he didn't pull it off.
4. I think that he means that what he has done in the past will always be in the past no matter what he tries to do to change peoples perspectives on him.
