Chapter 1 fopr both books

Little Brother

                In the first chapter, we are introduced to Marcus Yarrow, who is also known as w1n5t0n. It is interesting that he has that name w1n5t0n. We right now, have security numbers, but they have a security number and another name.  That reminds me of the Jews. Each Jew had their own number tag that they were called by and not their real names. Prisons do the same. The criminals are given numbers and letters which they are to be called. At the school where Marcus goes, there are cameras and tracking devices that watch their every move. No place is safe essentially. The school in the book is like a prison too because they have cameras watching them. The cameras in the book are actually calculating a person’s gait on how they walk and identify the person. Prisons don’t have this type of camera. The library books in the book also have tracking devices on them to track where the book goes and if it tracks the book, it can track the person who has the book. Some libraries today have this kind of tracking device in them.

Ender’s Game

                In the beginning there is a little conversation going on between two mysterious people who we don’t know. I believe that they are humans since they talk about the buggers and a boy saving the world. There was also a monitor on Ender’s neck. The monitor was to track everything Ender thought, saw, did, heard, everything. I wouldn’t want something like that on me. My life is my own and I like my privacy. It was a good first chapter in this book. It showed the relationship between Peter and Ender a little bit too. Ender also has some ninja skills. He seems strong for a kid his age. You wouldn’t think he could beat up some bullies that were older than him, but he did. Ender has a lot of determination and courage to stand up to a bully and I admire those skills he possesses.

Both

                Both books are fairly similar so far. They both have cameras and tracking things watching them. I wouldn’t want anyone watching me like that. It’s plain creepy if you think about it. Imagine having to secrets. Nothing would ever be truly yours to know and everything you would want to keep secret wouldn’t be one. There would be no such thing as privacy and we wouldn’t have that luxury anymore.  Another similarity between the books is that both Ender and Marcus are popular to the authorities of their school and they both have an interest in technology.
