This shows how poorly the farmers are treated. They are dehumanized in that they aren't cared for. If they die, they are simply "cleaned up" at the end of the day.

I notice that horses and clones get implants put into their brains. I had predicted that these implants make the cloned people easier to control. This makes sense because farmers want their horses to obey.

I wonder why the Alacrans would drain the water. What would they do with the water?

This makes me think of nature vs. nurture. Is Matt exactly like El Patron was when he was 7 years old? Or is he different because of the people in his life and experiences he's had, good and bad.

I wonder why any person would agree to have an implant put into their brain and make them dumber or only able to do simple things.

I notice that Felicia drinks alcohol while she plays the piano. It seems like she drinks so much that she is unable to take care of herself because maids have to carry her away. I wonder why she drinks so much. I wonder how her children feel about it.

Why does Matt force Maria to give him a kiss. Why did Matt use his power to do that. Maria had to kiss because he´s a clone of the El Pardo who has a lot of power. Will Matt be more like El pardo

"Matt lived for these expeditions. El Patron would have had a heart attack if he'd known how many cliffs Matt climbed and how many rattlesnakes he teased out of the rocks. But they made Matt feel strong and free"

"It was the one time Matt could ask for anything he wanted. He could force the Alacrans to pay attention to him"

¨Maria took furball everywhere. Tam Line complained that it wasn't a dog, but a hairy tumor growing out of her arm. He offered to take her to a doctor and have it removed.¨

"Matt saw the dusty cornfields and the purple mountains of Durango. He saw the streams that roared with water two months of the year and were as dry as bone the rest of the time."

It was when Matt confessed that he was the pig at party

"Then, amazingly, the curtains at the far end of the salon parted and El Patron walked in."

"You're like an animal", complained Maria as she stood in the doorway of Matt's room. "You hide in here like a bear in a cave"

"The hours dragged on. Matt practiced on his guitar, a skill he was developing without Mr. Ortega’s help. The music master was unable to keep his hands on the instrument and thus was unable to detect mistakes. After a while Matt switched to reading Tam Lin’s present. The bodyguard was fond of nature books, although he read them at a painfully slow rate. Matt already had books on wildlife, camping, map reading, and survival that Tam Lin fully expected him to study. Tam Lin drilled him when they went on expeditions in the Ajo Mountains. "

This makes me think of how Mr. Ortega and Tam Lin teach Matt about reading and learning how to play music even though the clones are supposed to be illiterate.
