Feed Pg 245-264

Summary:
     One morning Violet sends Titus an attachment of her full Feed-Sim of her sensations. This puts Titus in Violet's shoes by allowing him to feel her emotions, senses, and memory. Titus felt Violet's legs go numb and stop woring. Suddenly Nina, the customer service assistant tells Violet/Titus that her petition for feed repairs and/or replacement was turned down because of her spontatneous shopping ways, which confused companies about who she was (they organized people based on their Feed searches). At night, Violet tells Titus about her research of rituals where singing was often done in many different ways all around the world. She tells him shes afraid of silence and afraid to loose her past. She sends him alot of her memories the next few days, but Titus deletes them all without opening them. That weekend, Violet went over to his house to go to the mountains, one of the many things she wanted to do before possibly dying. On the ride there, she tells him that she wants her Feed to be off. Not dormant, off.

Quote:
     ''...I'm afraid I'm going to lose my past. Who are we, if we don't have a past?'' (Anderson 253)

Reaction:
     I chose this quote because it kind of related to our English class discussion of moral disobediance. That is, what so we care about so deeply that makes us who we are. This question, as well as the one Violet poses on page 253, are both questions of identity and what makes us who we are. I chose this quote because I agreed with Violet, that our past memories and experiences make us who we are, and if we are ever to loose them, it would be highly unfortunate. The fact that she tells this to Titus, makes her more vulnerable.
