❀ This section of Little Brother was great, but at certain points it was a little bland. I feel like all of the computer talk can be very confusing for young adults, especially since I am confused. The subplot of Marcus finding a love interest is very cute because young adults like to read about love interests. I feel very bad for Marcus when he get suspended for speaking about what he believed in during social studies. This section made me see how much the government has taken over, along with school taking over the lives of not only the students but the teachers. Marcus didn't deserve the punishment he received and Ms. Galvez shouldn't have been fired for allowing her students to speak freely. This made me see the kind of teacher I want to be, allowing my students to express their feelings and feeling safe in my classroom as I respect each of my students.
❀ On page 226 there is a mention of Haiti. I have never really heard of Haiti until the past month and reading it really made me interested in Haiti a little more. I thought it was interesting that this book made a reference to the mention of Haiti since it is so common in our news right now.
❀ I am anxious to read the rest of Little Brother to see what happens to Darryl and I wonder if Marcus' father will come around to seeing his side. I predict that Van and Marcus will become friends again, but I do wonder why Ange and Van don't get along.
