The House of the Scorpion
Far into the book, Matt escapes in search of Maria. Once he is across, he is put in an orphanage for the Lost Boys and is controlled by the "Keepers." Do you think his time in the orphanage gave him the confidence that he was in fact a human being even though he was a "clone" since he was more accepted by the other Lost Boys thus giving him more determination to reach his destination? And what valuable lessons did Matt learn along this journey?

I feel that after being treated like an animal from everyone else and being locked in a horrible place and people treating him like he was nothing, Matt finally felt like he was accepted and that he was finally someone in life. I think that once he got that acceptance Matt felt like he could accomplish anything and reach his destination no matter what. I think that Matt learned that he was a real person and that he could do anything no matter what people told him. I also think that he learned that he could make a life for himself even though he was only a clone.
