there are acouple things to be said about the artistic choices of Feed. first is the fact that its a book. while this seems basic it actually can hold alot of meaning. I think if offered, the author would turn down the oppurtunity to make this book into a movie. By having keeping this book a book, the author prevents the story from being digitalized. since the Book is a critizism of the digital world slowly taking over the reality world, turning the book into a movie would send mixed messages.

the age group that this book is meant for is alittle tricky. It's not meant for adults because they spent to much of their life before the digital era, and have a hard time relatting. but these kids who have spent their whole lives in a digital era are usually too younge to understand the book for what it is. Thats why i think this book was meant more for kids in the near future. The Author wants kids who spent their whole life plugged in to read this book and see their life for what it really is.

the idea that i think will work with me most when i make my project is the false sense of support we put into technolligy. the main character of the story was use to having the feed make him feel better. but at the end when Violet was down to 4% the feed couldnt help him. He spent all night buying the same pants waitting for that sense of comfort he was use to getting from using the feed, but it never came. The fact is he no longer knew how to deal with those emotions. My project will most likly be about the false sence of secruity that the digital world gives us.

  1. i like that you also right like how i do, you dont use big words that you dont understand but you do know how to expand your thoughts with out having to. my fav work from your page out of the 10-14 peices of work we had to choose to write about would have to be. "Monday, October 19, 2009" well since your dont really name your blogs i had to do that. but i like this post because first you took the time out to do it an also you connect the book the our everyday lifes which would have been a better idea because we are teenagers an i think if you would have connected it to the steriotype teenagers in the movies then it would have never worked out like how it did an just like you said "movies send mix messages" which i think is a good way to put it because out of all the movies out there, the movies always have more than one message that they trying to show us. but you also wrote that the age group in this book is tricky, just like i said in my post because you didnt know who the book was talking to ether teens,young adults, or old adults. the book is very tricky i agree.
