Character Analysis: Hungry By H. A. Swain Thalia
Are You Hungry?
My character in Hungry by H.A. Swain Thalia; also goes by the name of Apple, has grown throughout the novel because she has matured throughout the experiences she and Basil have gone through together.“You might be able to stop hunger and keep the world's population under your thumb, but you can’t control my emotions. Those are mine. They are part of me no matter what you say!”(page 123 H.A. Swain) Apple didn’t understand that her body...wasn’t hers, but her families to experiment on and review. She sees this after she returns home from a revolt meeting with Basil to be interrogated by her own mother, and be told that her feelings for him weren’t real. She is tired of her mother; the lead scientist of One world, telling her
what she needs to do with her body and how to live her life. Apple doesn’t like how her parents analyze her like she is a “chemistry project”.
The setting of the novel has a lot of technology evolved that; basically, does everything for human. The setting contributes to the novel by showing how much the world and the people have evolved in time. The protagonist; Apple, is affected by this setting due to how much the people rely on it and don’t communicate normally or function properly.
Thalia has hacked into everyone’s Gizmo, which is like a improved phone, using a Plugin server to get everyone to finally look up from their Gizmos to see this special quote,”George Washington said, ‘If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.’ Don’t be sheep!” Thalia is trying to say that taking away your right to express yourself will lead to your demise or downfall. By hacking the server and projecting this statement she actually got people to look up from their technology and talk to one another face-to-face. Unlike everyone else Thalia is not so in touch with her technology, infact she pretty much hates it and often loses it. Thalia prefers to be in the person's presents instead of on their Gizmo screen. The theme of this novel has to be don’t be afraid to speak up and let your voice be heard. Apple does this by revolting with Basil and others against the scientist of One World to go against the medication the substitute food
