Read this excerpt from Little Brother and answer the following questions in complete sentences using proper grammar and punctuat

ion:
After a heated classroom discussion with his substitute teacher, Marcus is sent to the assistant principal's office.

I went fast to Mr Benson's office. Cameras filmed me as I went. My gait was recorded. The arphids in my student ID broadcast my identity to sensors in the hallway. It was like being in jail.

"Close the door, Marcus," Mr Benson said. He turned his screen around so that I could see the video feed from the social studies classroom. He'd been watching.

"What do you have to say for yourself?"

"That wasn't teaching, it was propaganda. She told us that the Constitution didn't matter!"

"No, she said it wasn't religious doctrine. And you attacked her like some kind of fundamentalist, proving her point. Marcus, you of all people should understand that everything changed when the bridge was bombed. Your friend Darryl—"

"Don't you say a word about him," I said, the anger bubbling over. "You're not fit to talk about him. Yeah, I understand that everything's different now. We used to be a free country. Now we're not."

"Marcus, do you know what 'zero-tolerance' means?"

I backed down. He could expel me for "threatening behavior." It was supposed to be used against kids who tried to intimidate their teachers. But of course he wouldn't have any compunction about using it on me.

"Yes," I said. "I know what it means."

"I think you owe me an apology," he said.

I looked at him. He was barely suppressing his sadistic smile. A part of me wanted to grovel. It wanted to beg for his forgiveness for all my shame. I tamped that part down and decided that I would rather get kicked out than apologize.



In three to five sentences, explain Marcus’ current stage of identity development. Use examples from the text. As a reminder, the different stages of identity development are:

Identity Diffusion occurs when an adolescent does not make a commitment to any particular roles, values, or goals.
Identity Foreclosure occurs when someone makes a commitment without considering other possibilities.
Identity Moratorium occurs when an individual is in the midst of a crisis over a particular role or value and tries out alternatives in order to make a commitment.
Identity Achievement occurs when someone makes a personal decision or commitment after going through a crisis and exploring his or her options.

Marcus seems to be between stages of identity development, according to this passage. For most of the passage, Marcus is in the stage of Identity Moratorium, as he is thinking about his views and opinions and what to do about them, since they are in conflict with Mr. Benson's, and may get him expelled. He considers speaking out, but also considers apologizing. Ultimately, Marcus ends the passage in the stage of Identity Achievement, because he determines, after weighing out his options, that his own values are what matter most to him.

Read the excerpt below from the novel East of Eden by John Steinbeck and answer the question that follows.
yKpoI14uk [10]
I want to say it will be first-person. Third-person is an outside voice, someone that is not a character in the plot. It seems as if the narrator is talking about himself, which is why I deduce it to being a first-person point of view.
