I think that chapters 21 - 25 were a very crucial part of The House Of The Scorpion. This is basically were all the action really starts happening. That is why I decided for my free blog post I was going to write about this section in the book, just because it is so important. In these chapters, the reason Matt was created was officially revealed. It was hinted at before when they saw MacGregor's clone in the hospital, Matt then started to think about how El Patron was getting to be so old. Because he was using his clones for body parts and organs he was able to live as long has he has. Matt was worried that was what he was being used for, but decided that he wasn't because he was getting really good eduction and his brain wasn't destroyed like other clones. In this section of the book Matt finds out that this is not the truth. That El Patron created Matt so that he could help him stay alive. Matt felt extremely betrayed and I found this part of the book extremely sad. Everyone had turned against Matt and had figured out that all this time he was just being used and so many secrets were kept from him. But before they could kill Matt El Patron had died. Unfortunately everyone had still turned against him. They were just going to kill Matt because there was no use for him now that El Patron had died, and nobody wanted to keep a stupid clone around. Even Tam Lin turned against him and was going to kill him, and Celia was going to become and eejit for trying to help Matt stay alive. I really felt for Matt because I think everything was happening so fast for him. Everyone had turned against him and he didn't know what to do. But it turned out that Tam Lin had a plan. Tam Lin had saved Matt and helped him escape from Opium and go to Azatlan to meet Maria. So now Matt is all by himself trying to escape death.
