FEED - the real thing/ fight and flight by Hana Nobari https://padlet.com/14nobari/b5f1gztvwoy2 Made with a little mischief en-us 2019-02-22 00:48:11 UTC 2026-03-17 22:31:45 UTC hello@padlet.com Idea: 14nobari https://padlet.com/14nobari/b5f1gztvwoy2/wish/334514700 Not unlike Violet, Titus and his friend think they can “game” the system by playing along with the feed’s rules and get an unlimited supply of Coke. However, they end up just playing into the feed’s promotional scheme. 

Furthermore, notice that riot gear has become hip and fashionable, suggesting not only that people are ignorant about the history of violent riots in America, but that corporations have co-opted populist unrest across America by branding it and selling it as fashionable

Even so, Titus is so superficial and wrapped up in his own instant gratification that he can’t look past the fact that Violet looks“un-huggable.”]]> 2019-02-24 04:57:45 UTC https://padlet.com/14nobari/b5f1gztvwoy2/wish/334520029 14nobari https://padlet.com/14nobari/b5f1gztvwoy2/wish/334520211
Apathy is the emotion that corporations aim to produce in their consumers, and as a result it has become the default emotional state of the characters in Feed. Titus and his friends coast through life, spending all their money on obscenely expensive products and exotic vacations. And yet, instead of being excited by all these new trips and purchases, Titus and his friends seem to be almost constantly bored. ]]> 2019-02-24 05:00:19 UTC https://padlet.com/14nobari/b5f1gztvwoy2/wish/334520211 Quotes: fight and flight 14nobari https://padlet.com/14nobari/b5f1gztvwoy2/wish/334520759 - "no, they didn't. they disconnected us. they shut down most of the functions. the feed was still on. its part of the brain" page 171 violet

By living the moment and not seeking instant gratification, they are different to the rest.Furthermore, Anderson portrays the themes of class and segregation with Violet. When she is just being herself, Titus’ friends are jerky about it and feel superior to her, when in reality, Violet is the one that is superior as she is clearly more intelligent than anyone in the group and is capable of experiencing feelings and emotions.]]> 2019-02-24 06:29:36 UTC https://padlet.com/14nobari/b5f1gztvwoy2/wish/334527916
