HW # 12

Feed for the most part is on target of what is happening in a modern teenage life, for example the way the teenagers in the book all use slang like teenagers today do. Although they say youch, meg or unit instead of hot, mad and son. They also keep up with the latest trends in clothes and hair like we do. Except the girls change their hairstyle like three times a day. Titus and his friends all listen to the hottest music at the time for example the song called "I'll sex you in" that they all couldn't even get out of their head even after the party. We also listen to latest music except we get to choose the music we like not our feed.

Other parallels feed has with modern teenage life is their relationships with others, like when Titus first sees Violet, the way he checks her out ands wants to talk to her. Shows how teenagers can act when they like someone. Or when Quendy put on all those lesions over her body just so Link can like her is an example of how far one can go to be liked by someone. Or how Titus was with his friends, he just wanted to be cool while he was around them so they would like and accept him.

But not everything Feed talked about is parallel to the modern teenage life, for example what they learn in school is not what we learn now. They learn how to use their feeds and the schools are run by the corporations. Because of this they don't learn how to read or write like we do. Another way Feed is unparallel with modern teenage life is how their feeds send them ads showing exactly what they would like to buy depending on what they've bought before. We get ads when we are on Internet but they don't coincide with what we like or want exactly. Feed also talks of how there is no parks or trees anymore because they had destroyed most of them to industrialize. I hope we never get to the point where we destroy all our trees, nature and wildlife to make way for our new technology and advanced life.
