October 20th 10-22 :techno intro perfecto
The book Little Brother by Cory Doctorow starts with Marcus Yallow introducing himself as a senior at Cesar Chavez High in San Francisco sunny mission district. He is a genius in technology and goes by the code name W1n5t0n. Marcus is called into the principals office after his name is announced on the PA. Principal Benson accuses him of hacking into the school computer, finding test results. Since there isn't much evidence of Marcus being the hacker, Principal Benson sends him to class for now. Marcus checks his phone for his favorite computer game called Harajuka Fun Madness. Marcus now wants to solve the new clues in the game with his team friends Darryl, and Vanessa. His plan is sneaking out of school to play with them, but it isn't as easy as it seems. The security system is packed with many cameras that identify who you are and library books that can be tracked. When Darryl and Marcus are sneaking out of school, Darryl notices a library book in his nap sack.
Prediction: I think Darryl and Marcus are smart enough to know what to do with the library book as they sneak out of school. It would be interesting if they ran into more of these types of problems though!
Confusing quote: "Reflexology is about a scientifically useful as a gait-recognition"(Doctorow 18). What the heck is that!? Who does this author think I am? Einstein?
Reaction: so far I like what I'm reading. I have learnt a lot about technology and other programs just from this reading session! I have already spoof called half my friends !!!! Shhhhh......
