Question

In a paragraph of at least three sentences, explain the mood of this excerpt from Little Brother. Provide details from the text to support your answer.
I kept walking, my heart thumping in my chest. I'd been expecting this since I started. I'd been expecting the DHS to figure out what I was doing. I took every precaution, but Severe-Haircut woman had told me that she'd be watching me. She'd told me I was a marked man. I realized that I'd been waiting to get picked up and taken back to jail. Why not? Why should Darryl be in jail and not me? What did I have going for me? I hadn't even had the guts to tell my parents—or his—what had really happened to us.

Answer 1

From the excerpt Little Brother by Carey Doctorow is a story about Marcus who works against the DHS or Department of Homeland Security. In the given paragraph, Marcus kept telling Severe haircut woman that Darryl did not do anything wrong and kept asking why he was in jail. He even questions himself, in spite of being interrogated why was it not him that was in there when in fact it was he that made those internet hacking contents and traffic jamming codes to rebel against DHS. Even severe haircut woman (a nickname he made because he did not know her name) kept saying to him that he is being watched but was never found.
