FEED!

The setting of this novel to me tells that the characters are snobby, selfish, and does not know how to have a life. They always end up making a new game whenever they don’t have anything to do. Like on page 57, quote “So we decided we needed to be cheered up big-time. So Marty invented this game…”Just hearing them saying he invented this game and that, is so annoying. They are so boring! I mean, they could at least explore the beauty of the moon. I know if I ever had a chance to go outer space, I would cherish it very well and go to many places there and explore the galaxy.
There names…They are very interesting. The author picks out the name perfectly for them. Titus, who sounds like the high respected man who is just neutral. Link, who is obviously connected to Abe. Lincoln. His colon. So that’s not so hard to figure out. Violet, who just sounds like the “Nancy Drew” girl. Who goes around investigating the truth. Like that girl in the book “Series of the Unfortunate Event. “ The girl violet in that movie that is just so smart in figuring things out. There is Marty, whose name perfectly matches a jock. Which is what Marty is, a jock, and it also match him as a total idiot. Calista, which of course, sounds totally like a bitchy name. The mean girl who is stuck up and we would say, the lead of a group of girls, looking for trouble. Quendy, sounds like a follower. Which she is, always following Calista. Then there is Loga. The boring girl who just doesn’t care much. Makes me wonder why Titus even went out with her in the first place. LOL! I’m joking. There name shows how they are and who they are. It’s their identity.
The function of the feed. Now that is just to much to handle. All these things, advertising, talking, etc…so annoying. It’s like, something or someone is slamming things that you don’t need right at your face. I can’t even take my siblings loudness, so just having this feed thing into my brains, being on 24/7, I will totally go insane. Possibility I would suicide. But I wont…The feed telling us words when we can’t figure out one. “The feed suggested supple” (p.11). For me, it sounds like; they can’t make any new technology, besides this stupid feed chip. Advertisings, words, peoples voice in front of their face, ears, whatever it may be. This whole thing reminds me of Wall-E. Where the people live and rely so much on technology, but in feed it’s the feed chip itself. In Feed, Titus was like, “You write…with a pen” (p.65). It’s like, writing and a pen doesn’t exist. Like in Wall-E, Earth didn’t exist. Then when Quendy and Calista was m chating to each other when they are next to each other. And in Wall-E, the people were just chatting to other people who are in the same area as they are. Gosh they are all FREAKEN LAZY people. Lazy than I am. (I would say).
There trends. “Quendy and Loga went off to the bathroom because hairstyles have changed” (p.20). It tells that trend is a very important thing. They must have the newest look and everything. It’s sooooooooo lame. It would just then be like, everybody is everybody. Same look, same style, same everything. Like the world. They must buy this and that to keep up with everybody. Like Quendy and Loga. They keep up with the trend, but the thing is, who notices it? Who cares of how good looking the “NEW” trend is. When it comes to your own kind of style, I say that’s when others notice you more. Besides, “Oh, that style, seen it, done it, been there.”
This book reminds me a lot about life. Mine, families, friends. When Titus was checking out Violet, as what I would say, it reminds me of my boyfriend. (We won’t go into details about that.) Also that when Titus, quote “I tried to tell myself that being here was nor re: sleeping but…(p.9) Just reminds me also of how I complain so much about being somewhere where I don’t to be and I remind myself that it’s not about me only. I must do it for the sake of whoever I am doing for. But basically…I think the Feed thingy ma bob is really STUPID! So full of…CRAZINESS….
