      Well, sad, sad, sad. Very sad ending. Although Feed wasn't my favorite book I did enjoy the ending, but I suppose the ending in most books is the best. The ending gets good when Titus and Violet get into a fight about Violet dying, at the hotel. From there on Titus just leaves their relationship to die physically and emotionally until Titus gets a message from Violets dad. Violet had become completely immobile but Titus never completely moved on and came back to visit. When titus came to visit and saw Violets condition, and got into a fight with her dad, things looked grim until he came back a few days later to end their last moments together with the story of them both.
      Elenor and Park, and Feed seem like two very different books to me. They do both have the common connection about a love story, but I feel like the love story in Eleanor and Park was the main focus. In Feed, I think that the main focus was about future technology the human race will face and what it might do to our society. While both the stories had a sad ending, I feel like Feed had to much correlation with the complications and control of the feed network (technology), and Eleanor and Park was filled with the timid love between the two characters (love). I could see how politics in Feed, and poverty in Eleanor and Park correlate with each other, they were not the main idea of the story but they both had important influences on the story line.

  1. I agree with you that Feed is more focused on the technology side of the story than it is on the relationship side. The entire story rested upon the technology in Feed, while Eleanor being poor only factored into the story every here and there.

  2. I thought the ending was really sad as well. I hate how Titus treated Violet, but I was glad the terms ended somewhat better near the end.
