In the novel Feed, the author, M.T. Anderson uses previous life experiences as inspiration to write this book. According to Scholastic, Anderson uses his job experience to write books such as Thirsty, Burger Wuss, and Feed. Based on Enotes, the author has a very strong passion for understand the past and history. He shows this passion through one of his books, Octavian, written in 2006. However, that was the opposite for Feed because it was based on the far future. My personal opinion is that Anderson grew curiosity in the future after focusing in history. It was something new to learn. Other interesting facts about the creator of Feed is that he’s very skillful in music and he has been wanting to write since he was young. The author tries …show more content…

The theme of the book is tedium and oxygen is somewhat tedious. It’s just there and we breathe it in to give us life and we don’t pay much attention to it. We have oxygen and in a way “enjoy” it because it 's what we breathe in. We don’t know or expect oxygen to terminate producing. Just like Titus didn’t expect Violet to get severely sick. We should be grateful for little things like oxygen that helps us create and do incredible things, it’s the source for life. Titus should be grateful for the little relationship with Violet because she made his life interesting, she’s the source for Titus’s happiness. Oxygen also relates to the novel, Feed, because in the book they had to cut down a forest to make an air factory. I chose this symbol because it fits the theme by a real life situation that creates a metaphor for Titus and Violet’s relationship. Also, this symbol is adjusted into a significant part of the novel. The book, Feed, makes some connections towards real life situations. I learned that you could randomly meet a person who could turn your life around positively. I learned that anything could happen and someone should never take anything or anyone for granted. I also learned that writers always use background knowledge and experience to compose a story. The theme of the book, tedium, gives a message that your life could unexpectedly change by little things. Those little things can become a great part of your

This novel is very futuristic. The feed itself is a great example of science fiction because it is like computers we carry around but instead they are implanted into the brain. Some connections that I made with our society was in the filet mignon farm scene, it reminded me of genetically modified organisms because scientist are now learning how to change things such as cattle increase more yield by modifying them. Up cars are very futuristic it is like flying cars that manufacturers are working to create. Traveling to different planets is also in this book, going to the moon has been achieved but many are working to make it livable.

Literary devices are techniques of expression that authors use to convey meaning to their story. When used with proper skill, these devices can bring copiousness and clarity to the content (Duckart). Certain literary devices can be applied to both fiction and nonfiction books. This essay will show how Ray Bradbury, the author of Fahrenheit 451, uses symbolism throughout his novel to provide the reader with a better grasp at deeper understanding and meaning to his novel.

Overall I really liked Feed by M.T Anderson I thought it gave me a new outlook on our world and how technology has played a huge role in our society and who we have become. In feed I was given a very realistic view on what technology may become in the future and how probable it is that we will become more and more dependent on technology for our most basic needs. I would recommend that you use this book again next year because i found it enjoyable and entertaining. After reading this book i want to be less reliant on my phone and technology because it scares me how far technology has gone in feed. Also i want to have everyone appreciate nature more and respect it because if all of nature is destroyed that would be devastating.

It allows the readers to understand it differently so each reader can get their own opinion of what Skyhorse is trying to show with this novel. With this symbolism, the readers can see how there are people that sometimes reject their culture, background, and history as how Aurora was doing by rejecting the dog and at the same time saying that she didn’t know if she could consider Echo Park her home. Skyhorse uses this to portray that at times one's dreams can cause them to think that what they once thought was their home isn’t anymore because they are in the search of something better as how Aurora felt. At the end, that didn’t fulfill her heart because in this chapter she shows how she would like her mother to stay with her and pick her over

Symbols are used all throughout the book to add depth to the story. One example of this would be how the children all receive different things as they get older, and how each item has something to represent. A quote that shows this is “females lost their braids at Ten, and males, too, relinquished their long childish hair and took on the more manly short style which exposed their ears” (p. 46) A second symbol in the book is Jonas seeing the color red which is a very “Emotionally intense color” and symbolizes the arrival in conflicting emotions in Jonas.
