Feed Pg 190-244

Summary:
     At a party, Calista gets a lesion, which are cuts on the skin, to impress her boyfriend Link. At the next party, Quendy comes in with lesions all over her body to get attention from evreyone, especially Link. Eventually Violet starts screaming and asking 'Whats wrong with everyone?' While there was starvation and problems going on in the world, evreyone was cutting themselves and partying. She calls Quendy a monster and her feed malfunctions, leaving her body unmovable. She was put in the hospital and lost a year of memories of when she was 6 (when she got the feed). After that, when Violet tries to contact Titus via the feed, he ignores her and her messages. One day Titus goes to Link's house with Marty, and they all go into mal (malfunction, which is kind of like drugs where they blank out and loose control). Only then does he realize he had to apologize to Violet, so he drives over and promises to do the list Violet sent him about the things she wanted to do. He promises to find the mountains with her (one of the things on her list).

Quote:
''...Look at what you've made yourselves!'' She pointed at Quendy, and went ''She's a monster! A monster! Covered with custs! She's a creature!'' (Anderson 202).

Reaction:
     When I first read that quote I immediately agreed with Violet. When I found out what lesions were, and that everyone could see ''all the red fibers through the splits in the skin.'' (Anderson 198). It shocked me that this is how Anderson imaged a future for us, where the feed controls us, and now tattoos become lesions, or cuts. This quote shows that Violet is different from others, she knows the difference between wrong and right, which everyone else seemed to have forgotten.
