FEED TEACHING COMPONENT
Page 105-123
Summary
In these chapters of Feed, it mainly talks about Violet’s family background and herself. At the beginning of the chapter, Violet chats through the feed with Titus about all the products she asked about when they went to the mall. There are a lot of important information in these chapters that change how the story goes. We learned that she receives the feed when she was 7 years old, because her family was not wealthy when she was born. Base on what she did in the mall the other way, and the way she talks about the feed, we can tell that she thinks it is a nuisance than something useful. Even though Violet is not as rich as Titus, she is smarter than him, because she knows how the life is with or without the feed. She also actually learned things before she was seven. Sometimes Titus feels sad when Violet knows more than he does. We also learned that over seven percent of people have feed, only a small percentage does not. At the mall she tried to ask about all the useless things for her in order to mess up the feed system, and that is a good example of her being against the feed.
