The novel The House of the Scorpion written by Nancy Farmer is saying many things about life. It says that you should not judge people or treat them any different then anybody else around you. In this novel the characters showed a lot of disrespect to Matt by locking him in a dark room were there was no bathroom or anything that is close to a natural living environment for a human. Matt was judged and not seen for whom he really was. Everybody in the Alacran house with the exception of Maria, treated Matt like an animal and didn't listen to him or try and understand him. Most of the people in the house were convinced that he was dangerous and even Maria sometimes doubted him. But, Matt went on to learn more and tried to convince everybody that he can be like all the normal kids. Soon enough, Matt went on to save all eejits and was probably one of the most smartest out of all the characters in the novel.
