Little Brother Blog #1

     In the story, "Little Brother", I think that Marcus would be defined as a bad kid. He isn’t necessarily the most outstandingly well-behaved guy ever. If any person, Marcus’s age or not, decides to hack into the school system, and slip through any of their security, then that should be a red light standing at point blank.

     So far in the story, Marcus has already gotten himself sent to the principle’s office, for the crime of multiple hacks into the school security system. He’s caused many of the other students, who attend the school, to be enrolled in his schemes as well. Someone has been expelled for using one of his hacking devices. That in itself, is a legitimate reason to get in trouble. 

     While he’s not discriminating or mean, he does have a handful of reasons to be set right. His attitude is that of an individual that lays back and enjoys the ride, not caring what the outcome. He believes that no matter what the circumstance, he’ll somehow evade getting caught. He takes the backdoor out of situations and never admits to any scandal.

     For example, he get’s passed the gait cameras, by stuffing his shoes with gravel. By doing this, he’s attempting to foil the cameras into believing that his footsteps don’t belong to him. It’s clever, but also a true sign that this kids’ a rule breaker.
     

     With only a chapter into the book, and more then three individual violations, you can tell that Marcus is more of a bad kid than he is a good one. Since main characters are usually round characters, there is a possibility that he’ll change. However, from hacking the school security, to misbehaving during class, to insulting the principle, Marcus has been a bad boy. Only time will tell what happens from here, but there’s no denying that changing this guy won’t be easy.
