1: The setting of this chapter takes place at The Big House. Matt has just gotten out of captivity and is meeting with El Patron for the first time. During this meeting Matt gets to have cookies for the first time in a while.
ReplyDelete2: El Patron is obviously very old (140 years old), but he is very witty. He knows everything that goes on at The Big House, even if he isn't supposed to. An example of this is that he sees right through Tom's good boy act and knows that he is a trouble maker. He is also kind of mean (Not that drug lords are usually nice), and his punishments are very severe.
3: Rosa is taken away by the guards and locked up. The Dr lies and says that he knew nothing of what was happening to Matt, and pins everything on Rosa.
4: Aztlan is the city/place that El Patron grew up. The stereotype is that everyone from Aztlan is a scorpion because there are many and they all scurry around.
5: The relationship between Matt and El Patron is like the relationship between me and myself. Matt is El Patron, so everything about El Patron seems right to Matt; because Matt is El Patron.
6: We learn that the word for scorpion in Spanish is alacran, and that people from Aztlan are called scorpions.
7: Celia and Matt are now living in a room in the Big House.
8: Maria is supposed to help Matt learn how to talk again. She is supposed to help him become normal again and fit in.
9: Matt was in his prison with Rosa for six months.
10: Everyone keeps their distance from Matt. They feel that he is like a rabid animal and should be steered clear of at all costs.
11: Tam Lin is supposed to be around Matt at all times to protect him because he is his full time body guard.
