Little Brother Book Discussion Highlights
Hey Peeps!
Here are the highlights from the Little Brother, by Cory Doctorow Book Discussion!
Enjoy!
Audrey
P.S. We will be playing video games on Monday since the Steel Pan Band canceled their concert. 5:30PM!
Do you think it's true that Marcus is on of the most surveed people in the world?
He gets watched a lot, but as Winston
What do you think of school surveillance?
If you go to public school, you have to expect it
Do you think that Marcus is a good kid or a bad kid?
He's a good kid. He's just trying to have fun.
Question asked by Estephania: Is there going to be a movie?
Possibly, the director of From Hell has bought the movie rights
Why were Marcus and his friends suspected terrorists?
Because they didn't run from the station when the bridge was bombed
What passages did you really like/ dislike?
I dislike when Darryl is stabbed, I felt sympathy for him. I am very sensitive to blood.
What does Marcus's refusal to give passwords to and answer questions from the government reveal about his character?
He's a major geek and to hand over passwords to the govt. even though they are govt. is still private
How do you feel about his parents' reaction to him being a suspected terrorist?
His parents' reaction made sense, his dad was cold
What do you think about all of the technology that is used and described in the novel?
The technology was difficult to understand but the book was still enjoyable
Is this a book that you would have chosen for yourself?
No, but the book is very different from the cover and the jacket information. It doesn't seem like it's going to be exciting, but you keep learning, you want to know how to do this stuff
Did anything really surprise you?
I was shocked that the police gassed the concert with little kids there
What is Cory Doctorow's Big Idea?
people are watching and you need to be ready, how to do stuff
Does the media affect how the kids are treated?
The media made the kids into terrorists by calling the X-Net a terrorist organization
Is it better to have dangerous information kept secret or widely available to people on the internet?
The internet quickening information sharing is a part of life, you can't stop it, news always travels fast, if somone really wants information they will find it--hiding the truth doesn't help
Is it better to be smart and have people suspect you to be a terrorist like Marcus or to be blissfully ignorant of how to do stuff and what the govt does so that they leave you alone?
I'd rather be smart, America would be safer if there were more people like Marcus

Keep the Lancaster Public Library Alive and Strong!
Don't let the government cut funds to libraries!
We want to continue providing the services and materials that you enjoy!
Help us!
Personal contact is needed—notes, emails, visits, and phone calls—with your State Senator, State Representative, and Governor Rendell. Our message remains the same:
1. Libraries are bursting at the seams serving the unemployed, their families, and others most in need. Don’t cut our funding and force us to close our doors for people who most depend on us.
2. Cutting state funding will cost Pennsylvania badly needed federal funds. Federal money pays for shared resources and incentives for local projects. Cuts already proposed could cost Pennsylvania anywhere from $1 million to $3.8 million in federal funding. Level funding will preserve Pennsylvania’s fair share, roughly $5.9 million.
Please send copies of your personal notes, personal letters and emails to:
Governor Ed Rendell
225 Main Capitol Building
Harrisburg, PA 17120

Libraries seriously rock the free world!
Let's keep it that way!
