Hola, reader! I've recently started a new book called The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer. So far in the book, the main character Matt, is imprisoned in the Big House and is treated miserably by Rosa and everyone else in the house.
Well, for a couple chapters while Matt was in the locked room, I was wondering where Celia was (his guardian). She instantly just disappeared for about two chapters. When she finally figures out that he has been held in the Big House she rushes to him and is relieved. She also says that she was told that Matt was with El Patron and had no idea that he was here.
But what is confusing to me is that El Patron has been known to have a bad reputation and is a hostile person. This quote proves my statement:"I'll tell you this: El Patron has his good side and his bad side. Very dark indeed is his majesty when he wants to be." They also comment on his rage and how it is frightening. How can Celia be content with leaving her "child" with an aggressive and dangerous man? How is she fine with potentially hurting Matt's saftey? When Celia said this in the book these were the questions that I asked myself.
Well, thanks for reading. Adios reader! :)
