What does this Novel remind me of? -- Rafat Hamidi

Journal #1


The Novel The house of the Scorpion written by Nancy Farmer reminded me of a movie called The Island. This Novel reminded me of that movie because both stories have to do with clones. In the Novel El Patron creates a clone for himself encase he needs a body part and in the film The Island humans created clones that were controlled by a facility and the clones were to be killed when the humans themselves needed a body part or a child. Also in the Novel, Matt was locked in the house and was not to talk to any other humans and in the film the clones were brainwashed and forced to think that there is an Island and they were not aloud to know that there were other humans or a whole other world out there. Also, in the novel Matt was smart enough to realize that he is a clone but he acted like a normal human when the doctors predicted that he would have bad memory and etc because he was harvested in a cow. Also, in the film the people in the facility were smart enough to know that they were clones and that they need to escape the facility before they kill them. These two stories are very similar and they are both written about the future were there is very high technology.
