Plot Diagram Basic Situation: Matt is a Clone That is Going to be Used for Transplants for El Patron Basic Situation: Matt is a Clone That is Going to be Used for Transplants for El Patron Rising Actions- Matt jumps out the window and is carried to the Mansion. Marias dog dies El Patron dies Matt runs away Matt gets stuck in an orphanage Conflict- Matt is cloned to provide transplants for El Patron Climax- Matt runs away to the orphanage but when he realizes what it is he wants out. So he hatches a plan to run away to Maria. Resulotion- Will Matt escape the orphanage and get to Maria

Connections to the modern world FThis book relates to how the druglords of South America have built up their own lands and laws and control. It shows how people struggle with the limits and ethical consequences of science. In this book human cloning is a commonplace thing while today it is just a vague goal. In this way this book can open peoples mind to the discussion of the seemingly boundless reaches of science and the role that ethics plays in the ways we use or abuse our scientific abilities.
