      While continue reading Feed a lot of questions came to mind. I know Violet talked about how the feed is connected to the brain and how it can kill you if it malfunctions, but it never said anything about removing the feed completely. It's clear to see that Violet is still infected with a virus so some action needs to be taken to save her life, you can tell Titus is worried for Violet. I still haven't grasped the whole idea behind the lesions yet and why Calista got all the artificial lesions, suppose it's just a fashion statement but from the reactions of others in the book I'm not sure if that's the case. When the party is going on you get a real sense that everyone is a robot, at least for me, I just thought it's bizarre that people would tune in to listen to music rather than listen out loud, for some reason that stood out to me.
      The book is still very hard for me to follow, each paged doesn't click together like Eleanor and Park. A lot of the time I will lose my spot in the dialogue and not even know who's saying what. The more you read the book the more you get used to the unnatural language in it, which was a big barrier for most people at the beginning of the book.

  1. Nic- That is a good point about the music - that they don't listen to it out loud. In fact, I think the comment in the story was that if you didn't tune into it then all you saw were people moving and shuffling. They definitely seem robotic to me, too!

  2. I feel so bad for Violet since it was her first time on the moon, and got a virus. You made a very good point about the music I also thought it was odd that they wouldn't just listen to the music out loud.

  3. The feed malfunctioning part confused me greatly as well. Why not just remove it from your brain?

  4. I feel like they are kind of like robots too. It's like every character is exactly the same, minus Violet.
