When I read the book I kind of picture the setting of earth to be like this in a way. Because everything seem to be trashy and dry because the forest are cut down to make more air for the people and they still think it a good place to live in.

In the story every time they go to a new places or somewhere advertisement will always show up. I just think it so annoying if you were to see everything like this.

“We enter a time of calamity”. Before this line appear in the story. They all went back to the hotel. And on their way back they saw people protesting about the feed. Saying that they don’t want the feed in their brain they would rather be dead then having the feed in their brain. So when I think about this. It kind of make me realize that some people now are realizing that they feed are bad for their body while at the same time some people don’t even know or doesn’t even care what the feed doing to the people. Now let go back to the quote. “We enter a time of calamity,” I believe it means that they enter a time of misfortune and disaster. I believe the old man who hacked then make them say that because he trying to tell them. That wearing or having the feed in their brain is just going to make their life in disaster. Also trying to tell them that if they don’t have the feed he doing that to them would not have done much damage to their body. For example, the people that have the feed start to have lesion and they don’t even not what the cause of it. But the truth is that the chips in their head are the cause of it. Also, one interesting things was on page 85 in the story. When the president was talking to the citizen and telling them that the lesion was not a cause of what the feed is doing. This made me think, what he is crazy. Is he doing this because the feed taking control of his brain too. I mean very weird. Why would a president say something like that when he knows the feed are the cause of the lesion. In the story something that seems important was violet father studying the dead language. Of course what is a dead language; well according to the story a dead language is a language that has not been use for a long period of time. I believe violet father study the dead language because he doesn’t want to lose history. For example when people don’t use something for a long period of time they would forget about it. So Violet father must had wanted to study it. It probably because it was important to keep old literacy and thing alive so that people can understand history or thing that happen in the pass written in old language. In the story the author must have dedicated the book to those who resist the feed because he wanted people to read about the story. I think he mean that you should not resist the feed until you read about it. But in reality if people would to have the feed probably that wouldn’t be the smartest choice. It is because people are like robot and being control or taken over by the feed. Although, one good benefit could be that the feed can influence or make people to not be in crime or bad people. But when I think about everything. I think there is no perfect world. I mean there will be time when thing seem so perfect. But we all just have to admit that there are no perfect worlds but there a world where we can explore our mistake which can make the world a better place to be at.

Reading the book “Feed” by M.T. Anderson is probably the weirdest thing for me. I mean it crazy to read about a book that talks about people who can’t control their own thoughts Me reading the first part of feed already. I think Tistus is a person who seems to think for himself. Like he a person who if he want to do something then he’ll do it. For instance in the book when his friend were acting stupid instant he don’t follow them and did what they do. According to our class discussions most people agree that Tistus is more of like a leader because he doesn’t always do thing like his friend do. But he wasn’t always able to think for himself too. For example, when he first saw violet, he couldn’t find the word to describe her spine. So the feed suggested the word “supple”. This examples show that although sometime Tistus he can think for himself but that not always the case. For me I would consider violet to be the most normal person in the book. It is because she independent and could live without the feed. For instance she home school. This is a good thing because she able to write while others are just confuse at it. Not just that but able to understand the real word while others thoughts are being control by the technology feed. What I mean by she able to understand the real word is being able to live life without needing help from feed. Although there are weird things in the book Feed. I thought something interesting was a car that can fly and some stores are in the cloud. Wow! That was my first reaction to it. Can that really happen in the future I thought to myself? If in the future for us if there are car that can fly, what are the benefit of it I could travel from place to place without needing an airplane. I think. But I just think that having cars that can fly was something very interesting in the book. But something that was always interesting was stores in the cloud. I think it was interesting that earth was getting so crowded that people start doing their business in the cloud. But in reality I think people wouldn’t be able to do something like that. It is because clouds are just like airs. Furthermore, the technology feed it seems to be a good thing in the book. And not just that but about 75 percent of the people on earth seem to have the feed. In class a classmate suggested that having the feed is like being in Utopia. She meaning that it like an ideal world and things should be like the ways it is. With no crime and violence. Everyone at paces and so on. But I think this wasn’t always the case. The people wearing the feed have lesion. Which make them have this one skin disorder where their skin becomes red and wounded. Probably their skin having lesion is showing that their body is rejecting the feed technology in their body. reading this book Feed kind of reminds me of the song "Barbie Girls". probably because life is so perfect for the people. mostly everyone seem to be rich and people seem to awlays have free time and play time. since i can't upload the video i put the song in my page.
