Post 13 Who am I?

Today is another sad day with the loss of my brother. I still can not believe…I mean that he would do something like that to himself. I thought that he have no strong to do it… but M. Poirot said it was for the best. Well, let think about that all happen in my little town later. We had a secret marriage, blackmail, murder, engagement, secret, and poison. I learn from Ursula that she is marriage to Ralph Paton that makes her Mrs. Ralph Patron. I can’t believe them two got secret marriage but that nobody know till now. Flora Ackroyd has got in engagement with Major Blunt but they do make a good couple. I knew that Flora did not love Ralph but she was in love with Blunt. That someone was blackmail Mrs. Ferrars for over a year. I knew that she kill her husband with the poison I told him that yet he did not believe me. It took me to find out that Miss Russell had a son name Charles Kent who has a drug problem and a secret she had kept for years. But that Mrs. Ackroyd is something else of the kind, I heard that she was in Mr. Ackroyd looking for his will. I know that all she wants is to get his money; she is one witty woman I can say. Mr. Raymond needs money to get out of a debt with the murder he got out of it and more to live with. I would never think that Parker could kill someone, but blackmail his later master sound just like him. M. Poirot did say that I have a key sense of detective. I always know read all my favorite detective’s novel will come in hand one day. But I know one day I will find out the truth about him and why he did it.

Post 9:A Title By Choice

Traces: Framed is a good title because it goes with the main conflict in the story. The main character Luke is a rebellious and stubborn person and that leads him into a lot of trouble. This is shown in the story when "Luke nodded,'You remember me hacking into the exam scores.'” Although Luke, is an investigator in the murders, all the crime ties back to him. Luke is an easy target because of his personality traits and that is why he is framed. That is why Traces: Framed is a good title because it goes with the main conflict in the story.

The Round Protagonist

“I’ll get blown out of the sky. If I do mange to survive, the Alacrans will have me put to sleep like an old dog. I’m a clone, in case you’ve forgotten. I’m livestock.” The quote said by Matt is important to me show how he changed in the story. Matt learns those clones is made for the DNA of a human and grow in cow for nine month. Clones are look at like animal and not even humans. That he doesn’t care about his life at all no more and all his hope disappeared. That he has accepted he’s a clone no changed it. He knows that he is like an animal and should be treated like one.

Insight

"People from Durango are called alacranes-scorpions-because there are so many of them scurrying around." El Patron said this to Matt the first time they met each other. He tells Matt that he lives with a inside the house of scorpion that they are every where. This makes Matt a sense danger in the house where he will be staying. It prepares him for what is going to happen next. Soon Matt sees for himself how cruel the people in this house are, like scorpions.

Clones

In "the house of the scorpion" is mostly about Clones. They are been used as pets and an organ donor to the person clones from. They are most hate by human because they act like beast and they go against the nature. The main character Matt is a clone himself and how all his conflict come about. The clones are said to be dumb at birth and Matt is the only one kept as a human or not turn dumb at birth with the power of El Patrón help Matt escape that faith.
