FEED #2

"We enter a time of calamity", this quote is saying that they are in a messed up world. What it's referring to id their time of present which is far into the future. The time they are in is a time of total screw up, because they are being controlled by a mini microchip. Comparing their time to ours it's quite different, their time period is way in the future with high technology while ours is still advancing little by little.

Why would Violet's father study dead languages. Well as Violet herself said she had her feed late when she was about six or seven years old. After knowing that she had her feed late, it could perhaps mean that her family or her father prefers the old ways as in the past; traditional way. Violet herself writes with pencil, papers, and is not very used to the feed, meaning they prefer the old styles. Her father perhaps liked history and wanted to teach that in the present future so later, the society could at least know how to write and read.

The feed is described as knowing what you need before you do is this what the feed is really doing? Well technically yes, the feed is basically doing all the mind thinking and suggesting for our minds. The feed thinks for us, and prepares all information for us when we need it. The feed is basically our mind. This is what the feed is doing taking control and suggesting what is needed for us in their opinion.

Feed

In this story called Feed, it's quite an interesting story how its taken place in the near future. All of the characters are quite unique themselves. Why did the author gave his characters those kind of name. Well it's quite simple if you were to think about it; those types of names aren't quite common at all. And also those names are more likely to appear only for fictional characters as in games or RPG (role playing games) type of story. It's quite remarkable to think that such characters have such names that really suites for the future. Those names are uncommon in our present world.

This novel is categorized as science fiction. If you wondered why, well it's because it's based on the future and having to revolve a lot on technology. Technology is science and that is why it's categorized as science fiction, other than that, this novel is science fiction based itself. The world they live in is full of science and advanced technology, and has to do a lot with electronics. The story is so far in the future that it becomes advanced in everything that includes with science basically they are like in a cyber world.

The girls have to change their hair frequently because the styles change. In this novel Feed, their world is very advance that every time they upgrade something new the girls or whoever has to change their style to the latest one they have now or they'll be considered outdated. I find this quite interesting as well, always having to keep updates with their latest trends and everything. That is no different from our time now, example like the latest iPod nano comes out and everyone goes after the new one even though they had just recently bought the latest one. Isn't the world of technology ironic?

This novel Feed is really attractive if you actually sit and read carefully. It's hard to understand at first but it'll come along smoothly after the first couple of chapters. Feed is based all on the future, the author must have really thought about the future a lot to have written this novel to catch people’s thoughts. The author creates a unique story about in the near future all the technology advances and we no longer need to do anything by hands but instead we have a chip in our brain and help us as our resource. Basically we are digitally programmed right when we were born. If this were to happen in the future it'll be quite interesting yet awkward.
