1 House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer GT Novel Guide Four Big Essential Questions: (We ll always talk about these during class discussions! Come to class with ideas for answers!) How do others treatment of an individual define their own understanding of themselves? In what way, are we already valued only for our parts and what are those parts? How do you determine a person s worth? Thinking like a writer: Nancy Farmer limits our view of the story by using third person limited, how would it change if we had a third person omniscient narrator? High-Level Vocabulary Challenges endurance elitism discretion determinism narcissism morality logos ethos pathos vitality Academic Vocabulary (be able to apply these vocabulary words to this novel) first person narrator allusion setting protagonist mood character theme tone Quotes to apply to this story: The cloning of humans is on most of the lists of things to worry about from science, along with behavior control, genetic engineering, transplanted heads, computer poetry and the unrestrained growth of plastic flowers. -Lewis Thomas One has to pay dearly for immortality; one has to die several times while one is still alive. -Friedrich Nietzsche It must require an inordinate share of vanity and presumption, too, after enjoying so much that is good and beautiful on earth, to ask the Lord for immortality in addition to it all. -Heinrich Heine, City of Lucca
2 The House of the Scorpion Youth: 0 to 6 Chapters Why do you think the author previews the cast of characters and a family tree before the book even begins? What does this make you think? 2. What does it do to a person to be raised in isolation with contact with only two people? 3. Find four different religious symbols discussed in this section and discuss how they teach Matt about goodness and evil. 4. Based on Matt s experiences, will he become a good person or an evil person? Defend your response using examples from the text. 5. Place characters (Matt, Celia, Rosa, Maria, Willum) on this grid at the end of chapter 5 according to where you feel that their goodness/morality fit. Be prepared to defend your placement of each character using events from the story. Middle Age: 7-11 Chapters On page 70, Tam Lin describes El Patrón through the metaphor of a tree. Why did the author use this particular metaphor? How does this metaphor change your impression of El Patrón?
3 2. The fields shimmered with heat, and a sweet odor with something rotten at its core filled the air. Discuss the conflicting ideas of sweet and rotten in this statement. Why do you think the author wrote this sentence to evoke these two opposites when describing a single item? 3. What do you believe the moral implications are for artificially prolonging life? Do you agree with El Patrón or El Viejo? Explain your response. 4. Place characters (Matt, El Patrón, Maria, Tom, Tam Lin, Felicia) on this grid at the end of chapter 5 according to where you feel that their goodness/morality fit. Be prepared to defend your placement of each character using events from the story. If it is a character from the Youth section, please write reasons why any characters might have changed their placement on the grid. Old Age: Chapters The idea of religion takes on new importance in this section. Why do you think the author brings the ideas of various religious characters and icons into the story? What do these images and ideas symbolize? Do you think the idea of religion juxtaposed against the backdrop of this story is appropriate? Why or why not? 2. What do you think of the pact El Patrón made with the U.S. and Mexico 100 years prior to this story? What are the ramifications of such an alliance on the U.S. border? 3. Who do you believe betrayed Matt the most? Why?
4 4. Place characters (Matt, El Patrón, Maria, Tom, Tam Lin, Celia, bodyguards) on this grid at the end of chapter 5 according to where you feel that their goodness/morality fit. Be prepared to defend your placement of each character using events from the story. If it is a character from a prior section, please write reasons why any characters might have changed their placement on the grid. La Vida Nueva Chapters What does the title of this section translate to in English? What do you think this section will be about? 2. What does the phrase It s hard, but it s fair make you think about the Aztlản culture? 3. What is fair about how the Lost Boys are treated? 4. Why is independent thought in Aztlản discouraged?
5 5. How does the reality of El Patrón s world at the end of the story differ from what you imagined it would have been after Matt s departure? 6. Create your own good/evil/moral/immoral chart of all the characters and where they really belong based on the story s resolution. 7. Did you enjoy this book? Why or why not?
