Dialectical Journal entry: FEED by M. T. Anderson

Passages from the text	Pg#s	Comments & Questions
“We went to the moon to have fun, but the moon turned out to completely suck.”	Pg 1 Chapter: Your Face is Not an Organ	(E) Are these characters spoiled or what? It’s the first sentence of the book and I don’t know anything about them except that this must be based in the future because there just casually saying the moon sucks!!! I don’t understand this, but anyway maybe there wasn’t anything to do on the moon.
“We ordered some fancy nutrient IV’s from room service but they gave us all headaches.”	Pg 9: Chapter: Impact	(C ) This quote gives me a real personal connection. IV’s are things that are used to save a life, people are so unhealthy now, but it seems like they don’t get any healthier in the future. If you us an IV as a fun drink then you probably aren’t drinking what you should (water).
“Quendy is just like a kind of broken, little economy model of Calista, and she knows that, and feels really bad about it. But when this girl helped her, it wasn’t like that. Quendy was the center of everyone for a long time. That was why I kept looking at the girl in gray, and I started to want, more than anything else that night, to be with her.”	Pg 25 Chapter: The Nose Grid	(E) What can I say? It was love at first sight. The girl in gray had something that charmed Titus to the point where he couldn’t stop looking at her. She was beautiful. She helped and made others even more beautiful too. That takes somebody real beautiful to do. She knows how to make others feel good and analyze things to incredible manner (“your lesion, it’s on the edge of your face, so it frames your face. The good grid. See you have this great grid.”).
“They were protesting all these things, some of them even were protesting the feed. They were like shouting, “Chip in my head, I’m better off dead.”	Pg 32 Chapter: The Moon is in the House of Boring	(P) I predict that something is going to happen. Something big, the people are going to get angry, real angry and rise against the feed, but the feed is strong and it is going to be a big conflict. (C,) This reminds me of protests and people against governments secret services. It reminds of people protesting against agencies having the ability to look at your phone records, google searches and texts. Just imagine the ability to read your thoughts like the feed.
“We enter a time of calamity. Blood on the tarmac. Fingers in the juicer. Towers of air frozen in the lunar wastes. Models dead on the runways, with their legs facing backward. Children with smiles that can’t be undone. Chicken shall rot in the aisles. See the pillars fall.”…And then they touched us and bodies fell and there was nothing else.”	Pg 39 Chapter: The Moon is in the House of Boring	(CL) It seems that something is going to happen. The old man must’ve been a rebel against the feed and did something to their feeds too. The feed seems to have total control of a person the only thing that prevailed was one Titus wanted to hold Violets hand, their love allowed them to connect. (Q) What is going to happen in jail, will the police find out it wasn’t their fault?

You have to read this story! Pretty, pretty please! The second I started it I couldn't stop reading.
(P.S. I've read way more than 40 pages)
