Read the excerpt from “Little Brother” and answer the question. 1) I went fast to Mr. Bensons office. Cameras filmes me as I went. My gait was recorded. The aphids in my student ID broadcast my identity to sensors in the hallway it was like being in jail.

6) “Don’t you say a word about him,” I said, the anger bubbling over. “Your not fit to talk about him. Yeah I understand everything is different now. Are used to be a free country. Now we’re not”

7) “Marcus, do you know what ‘zero tolerance’

8) I back down. He could expel me for “threatening behavior.” It was supposed to be used against kids who tried to intimidate the teachers. But of course he wouldn’t have any compunction about using it on me.

9) “Yes,” I said. I know what it means

10) “I think you owe me an apology,” he said.

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