Relationship between characters

There are a variety of relationships between the characters in the first section of this novel. Each character has different feelings towards one another and towards Matt. Once Matt has moved to the big house, he became very distant from Celia and started to have a much different relationship towards the people who live and worked in the big house. The relationship between Matt and Rosa are very obvious, they both hate each other but it seemed as if Rosa hated him an extra bit more. The kids in the big house changed their relationship with Matt as soon as they found out the he was a clone. At first, Tom, Maria, and Steven didn’t really hate Matt, they actually helped him when he fell on the glass, but once they found out he was a clone; their personalities changed immediately. They started to hate Matt and started to treat him very differently. Tom especially hated Matt; he would go into his room and shoot Matt with peas. One relationship that didn’t really change was between Matt and Maria, even though Maria knew that Matt was a clone, she still didn’t really hate him as much as the others. In fact, it seemed as if she actually liked Matt. An obvious foil relationship in the book was between Celia and Rosa. Both of them were caretakers for Matt, however they had a very different feeling towards Matt. Celia loved Matt like he was her son, but Rosa hated Matt. Another foil relationship was between Matt and Tom, they both hate each other but they also have very different personalities. Matt is more caring and forgiving and Tom is just being a jerk to everyone around him.
