What are some examples of irony in the book The House of the Scorpion?

I had this question for homework, and I honestly was frustrated. There were not many examples of irony in this story. One that I happened to think of was...
- when El Patron was about to have a transplant and Celia said she had poisoned Matt(slightly poisoned.)
- Another one is when Matt realized Felicia had been sabotaging him. And she framed him from killing Fur Ball. When in reality, it was her.
Hope this helps!

One example of irony in "The House of the Scorpion" is how Matteo Alacran, a clone who is created to be used for spare parts, ultimately outsmarts and escapes from his oppressors, defying the expectations placed upon him by society. Another example is the stark contrast between the opulence of Opium and the poverty and exploitation experienced by the farm workers who harvest the drug, highlighting the paradoxical nature of wealth and power.
