House of the Scorpion post #3

1. Ton-Ton seemed like the type of person that wasn't too bright, and stuttered all the time. He also seems to follow any orders given, and just wants to stay out of trouble. But underneath, he is a nice friend that would go out of his way to help someone. He is actually bright, and he just is nervous.
2. The author stretches out the information as best as she can, which is excellent. She writes every little detail, including any obstacles that Matt and company must journey through. Even after Matt found Maria, the author kept on writing about what happens next, and reviewing crucial events in the story.
3. What do you think the importance of El Patron keeping everything he ever owned in his "tomb"? Do you think it was wise to do so?

1. I agree, Ton-Ton is just shy and feels like he needs to listen to Jorge because he saved him from the farm patrol.

3. Well, I just think he was never taught to let go of things he had, like all the things in his tomb. I think he was never told that in life, you have to let go of things, because they might not be around forever. I think that is something that he missed out on in his childhood, unlike lots of other children.

3. In his point of view I would yes because everything that is important would be with you forever in the afterlife. From my point of my view I disagree because you can pass it down from generation to generation down your family.
