Tonight I am full of questions about what I read today. So far in the book Marcus seems to have avoided several attacks. An attack from terrorists, attacks from Homeland Security when they chain him up for questioning about his whereabouts during the attack, and also in school he gets attacked by the principal about his computer hacking tactics. Marcus is skilled at avoiding these situations, and I am wondering if that skill will help him in the future (the rest of the book). I can't tell until I finish reading, and that's just a question I am asking myself.
This is a different book in many ways. In this book, Marcus's parents love him. In many other books, the care-takers of the main character normally despise the character. Like in Harry Potter, the Dursleys hate Harry. So the fact that Marcus's parents love him might affect how he acts later in the book. He might not be so willing to leave his parents if needed.
I've noticed that Vanessa, Marcus's best friend who is a girl, seems to start liking Marcus. When she kissed him goodbye, she 'missed' his cheek and caught a bit of his mouth. But when she kissed her other friend goodbye she kissed him 'square on the cheek', as Marcus said. Will this lead to anything significant? Marcus also said that he found Van really pretty, just noticing now.
I'm sorry about the questions, could you ever forgive me?
Good questions! I think you bring up an interesting point on whether Marcus' skill at evading potentially sticky situations will come in handy or not. Personally, I think that skill is always useful and will in fact be of great use to Marcus. Hmm... I've never noticed that many characters have 'parents' who don't love them. I definitely think that this has a large impact on in the character themselves. Good job!
