    The House Of The Scorpions Character Analysis

    He treats all of them very well by spoiling them with treats, but in the end, they all end up dying for the same purpose, to keep El Patron alive. This is until Matt. This is why there are multiple clones in the mirror. Matt states many things throughout the book that shows he feels like a reflection of El Patron and cares about El Patron even though he knows that El Patron is harvesting him for organs to live longer. Much like his prison of a home, mirrors do not comfort people and often show defects. Matt spent much of him time alone with his music knowing that his life could end at any time. "Underneath Matt felt a hollowness. He understood he was only a photograph of a human, and that meant he wasn't really important. Photographs could lie forgotten in drawers for years. They could be thrown away." (Farmer Eighty…

    House of the Scorpion

    Matt is treated as a king for the first part of his life; however, when the time comes that El Patron is deathly ill; he is summoned to donate a heart to El Patron to prolong his life and end Matt's. The actions of all of Matt's friends make it impossible to transplant the heart to let El Patron live, so he sadly succumbed to death after avoiding it for so long. During this time, Matt found himself out of the country of Opium and into the sad slums of a neighboring city and, coming from a home where he was treated so graciously, Matt was astonished. He was sent to work harvesting plankton in a factory, rebelled against the staff, and escaped with help from a few newly acquired friends. He is taken from a castle on a hill, where Maria resided, and traveled back to Opium with her and her mother to terminate the country for the good of the world. This proved an arduous task because…

    The Opium Debate

    Diana Ahmad in The Opium Debate and Chinese Exclusion Laws in the Nineteenth-Century American West (University of Nevada Press, 2007) argues that in addition to the traditional explanations for the Chinese Exclusion Act, (economic, political and more recently, prostitution) smoking opium was part of the reason many Anglo-Americans pushed for Chinese exclusion. Ahmad also distinguishes smoking-opium and medicinal-opium as two separate entities, claiming that it was the smoking variety that offended the moral character of Anglo-Americans.…

    This is a research paper on the history of Marijuana.

    The history of marijuana is quite interesting. Marijuana has gone from being an important crop of the early settlers, to being outlawed in many countries, including the United States. To better understand marijuana, I will trace it back to its origins, and explain how marijuana was used in the beginning. I will then take a closer look at the history of marijuana in the United States and how this plant has evolved over the years. An interesting fact that one should ponder is that ?in 1762 Virginia imposed penalties on those who did not produce it [marijuana]? (Sloman 21). This is quite a contrast to how marijuana is treated today. If one is caught growing, selling, or even using marijuana, there is consequences which vary for each above mentioned act. This plant is controversial in the since that people believe it to help with medical problems such as AIDS. So the question is whether or not to legalize marijuana for medicinal purposes. One should remember that if marijuana is legal in a State for medicinal purposes, it is still illegal on the Federal level.…
