Part 4 of Feed by M.T. Anderson Journal Entry...
‘It’s not you, I argued. It’s the Feed thing. You’re not like that.’

It seems like Titus tries really hard to comfort Violet, but I think he’s trying to comfort himself. By getting the reassurance from Violet that it is because of the feed that she ‘freaked out’ and maybe if he says ‘it’s because of the Feed’ enough times, then he thinks he’ll truly believe it.
‘With a hologram, like when your teacher is one of them, if you aren’t looking right at them, they sometimes seem to be hollow.’

It is true that holograms aren’t always crystal clear and you need the perfect lighting to clearly see them, but I thought in the future they would’ve fixed this problem by then. The hologram represents how hollow everybody is, the technology can be taking over, but the real person (teacher) is still better.
‘Unfortunately FeedTech and other investors reviewed your purchasing history, and we don’t fell that you would be a reliable investment at this time.’

Wow. Someone’s life will end without this dire need of feed repair and no body, not one corporation, want’s to repair Violet’s feed all because of her purchasing history. It is a life or death situation and Violet is about to die, but nobody will help because they won’t get anything out of it. Today in our world many things are like that, but I know/hope that none are to this extreme.
‘She looked at me and smiled, and said “My hero.”
I didn’t want to be called her hero.’

After all this time Violet still thinks she developed a true relationship with Titus, one which can sustain hard moments like this, but Titus he hasn’t tried that much anymore after Violet stopped being ‘new’. When she called him her hero, of course, Titus must’ve been bombarded with guilt for being her hero, when he’s such a poor one to the least.
‘I cried, sitting by her bed, and I told her the story of us…They learn to resist the feed.’

Titus does really love her. He misses all the moments they’ve had, the love story and the ‘crazy escapades’, but will he just move on or will he continue to resist the feed?
 This novel was very well written, I highly reccomend it!

  1. I enjoyed how you chose to show different examples of quotes in part four and then discuss why you thought they were important.

  2. Nice selection of quotes here. Do you see any similarities between how education is treated in the US today versus how it is portrayed in the book? Also, regarding the "poor investment" that Violet represents, can you see any parallels in the US today? I'm thinking about the controversy surrounding universal health care...

    I think the term "anti-hero" applies quite well to Titus. In the end, do you think that the book leaves us with any hope? Why or why not?
