Chapter 4

I read chapter 4, which was 11 pages long.

As I was reading, two quotes stuck out to me. On page 26, "That's disgusting. Clones aren't people," cried Emilia. On page 28, "Can I send it back to the poppy fields?" inquired the fierce man. In both of these quotes, they are talking about Matt, but they are just being incredibly rude towards him. Emilia and Steven were basically judging Matt because they found out he was different from them. Before they knew anything about Matt, they weren't being hateful to him. I think if they were never told that Matt was a clone, they would have kept being friendly and treating him like a person. Also, the man was completely hateful to Matt by calling him "it", getting furious when he sees Matt inside the house, and making Rosa throw him out onto the lawn.

Chapter 4 Summary: Maria snuck into the room that Rosa locked Matt in to give him food and something to drink, but ended up sticking around to talk to him. Matt starts telling her scary stories, and she decides to spend the night with him, because she's afraid she will get eaten by monsters if she leaves. Rosa and some other people come into Matt's room the next morning, and they are completely angry and disgusted that she was with Matt. Maria gets told she will be sent home right away. Then Rosa calls Matt a "little brute" because the bucket he has to use the restroom with gets knocked over, but she claims he's not housebroken.
