FEED!!!

Okay… So we are recently reading “Feed” in English and this is my prompts! =D I thought them throughly but please comment away if you must. =) 

 

To start off in “Feed” the girls Calista, Quendy,  and  Loga change their hair frequently it seems. This shows how the ‘feed’ set trends and style that it makes people want to be at the top that the more the ‘feed’ does so the more they make money off of them. Its an easy way to make money off of the people who has the ‘feed’ implanted in them. Next, with the book referred at “To all those who resist the feed.” First of a all a ‘feed’ is how I see it, is, a computer micro-chip that is implanted into people’s brains, giving them no control really over how to think or what to think really… Because they are provided with all the thoughts the ‘feed’ gives them already. To resist the ‘feed’ is to refuse to cooperate with it, in the book Violet and Titus meets at the mall and Violet shows Titus a way of resisting to ‘feed’ which was to go to each store and ask for odd things but never purchase it. It causes the ‘feed’ to try and look at these as your interests so they could find more things for you to consume. But by doing this Violet is causing the ‘feed’ to not have a clear definition causing the ‘feed’ to be confused, and by doing that Violet is resisting the ‘feed’ because each time the ‘feed’ suggests something Violet doesn’t give in and buy the item instead she finds other odd things to look for, not letting the ‘feed’ control her but her control the ‘feed.’
