Morgan Spurlock

I enjoy morgans work on super size me. Morgan is very good at whatg he does and has many excellent documentaries. Myh favorite is super size me in which he eats at mcdonalds for 30 days to show what it is like to eat there and how bad it is for your health. After the thirty days he gained a lot of weight and needed heart surgery. He is not afriad to risk his body for the greater american good. Below is a hyperlink to his ted talk which was absolutely brilliant.

Ms Galvez

Ms. Galvez is a history teacher at Marcus's school. She seems to understand what Marcus is going thorugh and how she understands him. Marcus is somewhat like Ms. Galvez, and Marcus obviously like her. This is shown when he helped her contact her fiance who was a soldier. Ms. Galvez also tends to agree with Marcus on security ideas. I believe Ms. Galvez was put in here to show that Marcus is not alone when it come to being a nerd or being a techno geek. She also seems to be like Scout from TKAMB an indpendent thinker. She also seems to respect Marcus because she sees herself in him.

Ending

I believe that the ending of this book was very good. When Marcus sees Darryl he is so overjoyed he almost cries. Marcus does not managed to say I love you, but still it shows the connection between the two. The author did a well job writing this, I’m not a big Sci Fi fan, but this was very well done. I like how he used Xbox incorporated in the story, it helped my stay interested through the tough parts of the book. I enjoyed reading the book. Marcus is a very interesting character. Marcus is a genius, throughout the book he has talked about all sorts of equations computing that is far beyond my level of knowledge.

Ange

Ange is a perfect fit for Marcus. Ange is cunning active and very outgoing, which fits much of the personality like Marcus. Marcus and her attend the same school and Ange also seems very independent and self motivating. Like MArcus she is also a techno geek. My friend Hani made a very good point when in the book during a chapter that Ange got very jealous when Marcus was talking to Van. Like Hani said this shows that Ange truly cares about Marcus and she loves him.

Cameras

Now that Marcus figured out that cameras have beein tracking him now in the school he realized somthing. That terrorists were getting what they wanted by causing fear in the school to put cameras in the front of the room. Also Marcus found out about the tracking the goverment placed on him. They now were tracking his life. He now has no privacy or anything. The goverment has taken over hs life and he is very paranoid. Marcus is now knows that the schools are giving into the terrorsists and fear is stirring.
