Blog Post 1; Matt's feelings about the other children

He feels anger, he feels regret and he wants to be loved, but how how is this all possible when he is just a clone? At first he thinks that they are friendly and he wants to play with them. When they accept, he jumps out the window and hurts himself. This is why they take him back to the big house. When he is being treated with all of the glass getting taken out of his foot, they notice the numbers on his foot, the figure out that he is a clone. All of them suddenly hate Matt, except for the little girl, María. I personally think that Matt has feelings for María, since he always gets very lonely without her and was begging her not to leave him when she went to school. But Tom and Emilia despise Matt. They call him a dirty, filthy animal that doesn't deserve to live. Just because he is a clone. But why do they hate clones? I think that they hate clones because most clones aren't smart enough to be human and act like animals. I'm guessing that this is because the people they were cloned off of weren't very bright. But Matt was cloned from El Patrón, on of the brightest people, this is why he is so smart and so different from all of the other clones. Emilia and Tom, and the rest of the town think that Matt is the same like all of the other clones, but he is not. Matt knows what the others think of him and he doesn't like it very much.

He gets very angry when somebody calls him a filthy clone or other variations of that. Rosa was probably the meanest to him. She hates clones apparently more than anyone else. Matt doesn't just dislike Rosa, he is afraid of her. When El Patrón comes, he tells everyone to be nice and respect Tom, everyone agrees but they still dislike him very much. Matt has proven himself that he is as smart or even smarter than any other kids of his year. Still they think that he is a dumb animal and soon Matt doesn't care anymore what they think. When somebody doesn't trust him with a task, even María, he gets mad and thinks that they didn't let him do it just because he is a clone. And once, when he wasn't trusted with a task, he even told María that he is a filthy animal. María tries to be nice to Matt. When he calls himself that, she protests and says that he is just selfish. When El Patrón first came, Matt was studying the crowd and he spotted  María, holding Toms hand. This made Matt furious. He hated Tom. Tom had shot him with a pea shooter leaving many bruises. Tom tried to do everything to make Matt's life even worse. When he saw this scene, he became furious with María for being friends with Tom. He thought to himself, "How could she be friends with him?" This describes the relationship between Tom and the other children in the big house.
