Character Analysis: Feed By M. T. Anderson
Consequences of Indecision's

The characters are affected by their mistakes in Feed by M.T. Anderson because these characters are all caught up in their indecision to choose what they want to do with their lives.

They refused to cooperate with FeedTech so FeedTech wouldn’t pay for her repairs. When it came to her malfunctioning. They also refused to cover the cost because she messed up her Feed during her project at the mall when she was trying to trick the Feed so that it couldn’t predict or tell her what she would like. Since Violets father was so caught up in protecting his daughter he was protecting her to the point where his choices killed his daughter, destroying everything he has ever worked for because Violet is his life. Violet is all he has left because Violets mother ran away to Africa to escape the society that they claim to hate.

    Character Analysis: A Raisin In The Sun

    The state of humanity is a debatable topic, as it constantly has its ups and downs. For example, while humanity is moving forward in areas such as knowledge and technology, there are still many displays of ignorance and stupidity that make people wonder if progress is being made at all. Lorraine Hansberry, the praised playwright behind A Raisin in the Sun and The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window, has experienced both the good and bad aspects of humanity and expresses it through her work. Although the majority of the characters and plot of A Raisin in the Sun suggest that humanity is repetitive, Hansberry uses some of her other characters,…

The Viking Press published it in 1952. The narration takes place from 1862 to 1918, mostly in the Salinas Valley, although some episodes happen in Massachusetts and Connecticut.

    Commentary On The Novel Feed

    After reading the novel Feed, I’ve begun to realize that our society has been evolving in to a digital age. Also being in a digital age we have been manipulated by mass media. I have chosen to address these issues because the novel feed can relate to them well. Every character has a feed, which is directly into their brain. Having internet connected to you at all times, you get very reliant on it. Now a days if you don’t know something or don’t understand something, we look toward Google for an immediate answer.…

    Language & Technology in M.T. Anderson's FEED

    Language & Technology in M.T. Anderson's FEED

    Feed’s narrative style seems a little jarring at first glance. The infrequent interruptions involving Titus’ internal corporate advertisements parody the multitude of commercials and promotions one deals with on a daily basis, all with a distinct “language” of their own. Likewise, when Feed’s characters speak to one another, through internal feed or vocally, their word use is strange and almost fractured. Whole conversations take place in short, simple, abbreviated sentences. Titus’ use of phrases such as “da da da” and “meg null” and the ever-present “like” quickly become familiar methods of description. Instances of futuristic slang terms mark a shift in the formality of the “dead languages” of the past. “Unit” (dude), “M-chat” (feed-talking), “Major system error” (big problem), and “Girlf” (girlfriend) easily get their point across but, being so mechanical and impersonal, do away with the need for deeper thought and comprehension. I found it strange too, reading Anderson’s dialogue, because unfortunately it is fairly easy to interpret without much though, which is no doubt a consequence of basic familiarity with twenty-first century conventions and Internet jargon.…
