Little Brother Reflection 9

In chapter 17 Marcus is contacted by someone named Masha.  She says she is from the DHS and that she can help Marcus.  If I were Marcus, I wouldn't trust Masha because she is working with the DHS even though she says she is going to help Marcus.  After the conversation with Masha the book gets a little boring.  It is about to get really exciting but they start to talk about Marcus's past playing games where he pretends to be different things.  It has a point though because it gives a little more background information about Charles and hosting a role playing game is part of Marcus's plan to bring down the DHS.  I think the next chapters will be action-packed and make up for chapter 18.

When Marcus holds a press conference, I find it funny how all the reporters have to play the Pirate game in order to ask Marcus questions.  I think Marcus did well in the press conference except for when he said how he was 17.  He also told the reporters that he was not a straight-A student.  If the DHS is keeping an eye on Marcus and Mikey, they might figure out that they are the same person.  After giving information to the reporters, Marcus tells his parents about how he was held and interrogated.  I was surprised that Mr. Yallow went from being on the DHS's side to being on Marcus's side so quickly.  I thought that he would tell Marcus that they had a good reason to hold him as a prisoner.  Mr. Yallow gets so mad that he calls him friend from a newspaper and Marcus and Ange go to tell her Marcus's story.

At the beginning Of chapter 13 Mrs. Chavez is fired. This isn't good for Marcus because she was his only teacher that understood him. I didn't expect to see Van again but Marcus sees her when he goes to meet Ange at her school. I also think it's funny that Ange and Van go to the sane schooland don't like eachother. Later in te chapter Marcus uploads a video and a lot of people watch it. He was contacted by many news stations to use it. Lots of these people seem suspicious so Marcus made the right choice ignoring them. Later Marcus goes to Ange's house. I was surprised to see that all they did was go on xnet.

At the beggining of chapter 11 Marcus starts to talk with Ange more.  I think Ange fills the spot in of Van.  I found it suprising that the original four at the beginning of the book all separated because I thought they were going to go through the whole book together and eventually find Darryl.  Instead both Van and Jolu have left the group and Marcus is the only one left.  However Marcus gains new friends such as Ange.  Ange then asks Marcus out on a date to a concert.  This could be dangerous for Marcus because it is an illegal concert.  If the DHS show up, he could be taken away again.  Sure enough, the police are there and Marcus and Ange barely escape being arrested.  Ms. Galvez seems like a good teacher because she supports Marcus and they have a great discussion in their class.  Mr. Benson soon takes over though and Ms. Galvez is fired.

I feel bad for Marcus at the beggining of chapter 9 because hes is very paranoid.  He is at a high alert state and has to think about everything before he takes an action.  He plays a Pirate game and thinks someone is a member of the DHS when they ask him where he lives.  This could be possible but unlikely.  Later Marcus is talking to Jolu and Jolu comes up with the idea to have a meeting at Sutro Baths.  I wouldn't want to have a meeting there because Marcus describes it as having cigarrettes, beer bottles, and the occasional needle hanging around.  There were a lot of people who showed up to the meeting and if I were Marcus I wouldn't trust all of them unless I knew them personally.  I hope that they are all trustworthy or Marcus will be in big trouble.

Marcus must be very mad because he is taken away by the DHS for a second time. However, Marcus's Mom comes to the rescue when the cops bring Marcus back home. I think this is funny because Marcus was tring to get out of their hands for a while and his Mom made them leave just by getting mad. I also think that the author is trying to make us see Narcus's Mom as a good character. The funniest part of these two chapters was that Marcus's dad said that security was good but got very mad when he got pulled over twice on the same day coming home from work.

At the beginning of chapter 5, Marcus is reunited with Vanessa and Jolu.  I think this lightens up the mood a bit even though they are disunited shortly after to go home.  The reactions to Marcus coming home were what I expected, though for some reason i thought that Marcus would never make it home and have to fight off the DHS for a while then go home at the end of the book.  I thought it was funny how Marcus could sense the DHS behind him when he was going to get something to eat.  It was smart of Marcus to eat as much as he could because he could be taken away again and be hungry.  I like how the author is keeping the action going with the DHS on Marcus's tail.
