Our minds are taken over by the media

Give me lay away or give me death

Chat Stew... mmmmm meaty

If someone asked a teenager to not use any technology like, cell phone, computer, ect. They would probably say that they would die with out technology. When in Feed people would probably actually die without there Feeds. M.T Anderson dedicates his book "to those who resist the feed", which sounds kind of creepy but when you think of what it means it makes more sense. Because in are life the feed is the media, and some may not want to admit it but it is hard to resist. I guess the ways you can resist it is by not listing or "supporting" advertisements the media puts out there, and not purchasing stupid things like fake birds. Just like it is now, people in feed like to keep up with the latest trends which could be a disadvantage of resisting the feed/ media, because you might feel different or out of place because of how everyone looks around you. Another disadvantage of having a feed is described when Violet says that her dad didn't get a job because he didn't have a feed. To tell you the truth I don't really know how I resist the feed, because if I was in the time setting of the book I would probably want a feed cause all my friends have one and its easier to communicate with them and da da da, like myspace and facebook. If Feed was the future of our society I wouldn't really be surprised, because it feels like sooner or later a big robot Co. is going to take over the world I mean it was kind of disturbing to think that the Feed actually controlled their bodies, like when Violet's arms or legs would just stop working and their skin was falling off ughhh. But anyways, yeah the United States is going to end up like Ashley's pictures thinking where so cool cause are skin is falling off.

Talking about Feed

When I read the first sentence of Feed, my impression was that this book was going to appeal to the teenage mind. In the beginning of the book Titus describes going to the moon for spring break, and I know any teenager in this century would thinks its pretty cool to go to the moon for spring break. And yet Titus says "... but the moon turned out to completely suck." Like if they were taking a family vacation to Iowa or something. Another interesting thing about this book are the names M.T Anderson chose for his characters. Some of the names I find kind of weird are Titus, Link, Calistia, Quendy, and Loga. I think Anderson chose these names because they’re "futuristic". For example one day we talking about names for our kids, and because Brianna is weird she said she would name her kids things like, Martha, Ernistine, or other old fashion names because then they would get made fun of (ahhh Brianna). So unless there names have some deeper meaning, I think he chose those names because the names we have now would sound old and weird. Two characters that are kind of… interesting are Quendy and Calista. These two girls represent the really stupid airheads (or I guess feed heads) of there time. One of the things they do is listen to the feed when it tells them to change their hairstyle, and they run to the bathroom to change it. This reminded me of Wall-e when the fat people on the moving chair things just automatically change the color of their clothes just because they are told to by the head cooperation. Right now we have trends and styles that change like every year, but with all this new technology the world is moving faster and we might end up like that, were we have new trends like everyday.
