Characterization- Post #1

I am writing about Matt as a whole character, and briefly about the surrounding characters from chapter  1-9.

Matt or as his proper name Matteo Alaran is a clone to make it simple. He is one of a kind. What makes him one of a kind is the he is El Patron's clone. El Patron is a powerful drug lord who has the ability to over-throw the law. El Patron does over-throw the law so that he can create/harvest Matt. Matt started/starts out as a single cell in a petri dish, these cells divided and were placed in the womb of a cow. The cow is a sacrifice so that Matt can be harvested (born). Matt begins his childhood life in the loving care of Celia. Celia works for El Patron and loves Matt. Matt is a very talented, and smart clone. He begins get taught by Celia. He learns how to speak fluently in English, and Spanish. Matt also was taught how to write, and read at a level that exceeds his age. Matt finds himself is trouble when he is introduced to Maria, Tom, Felecia, and Steven. Matt is, at first, a very shy character, he won't speak to anyone but Celia. Matt begins to form into a dynamic character when he begins to have feelings for Maria. He begins to feel angry and sad for Maria because she is picked on by everyone else. Matt is also smart, as when Celia leaves a pan out on the stove in the reach of Matt. Matt's anger grows as he sits by and watches, and listens as Maria is picked on. Matt finally reaches his amount of anger that he stands up, grabs the pan, and throws it through the window that leads out to the field.

This is the point in the book that Matt really begins to life his life. He has the ability to do much, much more, and is able to go outside... or so he thinks.
