Foreshadowing

Everything that Nancy Farmer put in the book is there for a reason. What I’m trying to find out why she put it in. A specific reason for her doing could be because she’s trying to hint us something that is going to happen next. In the beginning, Matt meets Steven, Emilia, and Maria. Maria later calls him an “eejit” and I think that farmer was trying to hint us something about that. Later in the book, I realized that when Maria was talking about “eejits” she was really trying to tell us something, trying to hint us something. Also that could be part of why everyone hates clones. In the book, when everyone figured out that Matt was the clone, they all treated him very badly. The way that everyone treats him could also be foreshadowing a major event that is going to happen.  Names like little beast, filthy clone, bad animal, etc. could all be foreshadows that hint about something that could alter on in the story. Along on that note, the thought that Celia is keeping Matt out of the public could be another foreshadow of why people hate Matt so much. The Chupacabras that Celia talks about could also be a major part in helping develop the story and why people hate Matt so much. The Chupacabras could just be something made up by Celia to keep Matt out of the public because of some reason. Later advancing through the book, I think that we’ll be able to find out the real reason why Farmer put in all of these events/characters into the book.
