Little Brother Pre-Reading

     The value of privacy to me means a lot. I think of privacy as a sacred concept. If I don't mess in your business you don't mess in mine.
   
      In the book Little Brother Privacy is very hard to come by because of all the technology being used to watch everyone they often have to be very discrete about things. The main character in the book Marcus gets interrogated by the Goverment because they believe him to be a terrorist radical who blew up an important bridge. They attempt to go through his phone and other belongings but they need the passwords to them, which he refuses to give because it was an invasion of his privacy. They then told him if they gave the passwords he would be released from their custody, they only thing was that he would be a marked man (they would watch him carefully to see if he screwed up again and be there to arrest him if they needed to).when he finally returned home he found that they had taken apart his computer and implanted a bug inside of it so that they would know about anything he typed into his computer which i find is illegal i mean he has his own rights by the constitution, he should be able to do what he wants without having to be followed or watched.

  1. I love that you connected this prompt to the novel, but what about in today's society? How does the government invade our privacy? Are there any situations where this invasion is necessary? Grade: 77%
