1104 Words5 Pages

This journal is composed of two prestige novels that contain an immense amount of information that I can relate to. “I looked over at her face. I could see the light from my heartbeat on her tears” (Anderson 154). The novel Feed written by M.T. Anderson is brought to life through the everlasting love between a boy named Titus and his beloved soul mate Valentine. Titus and Valentines world is different from ours… Almost every aspect of life is controlled by the “Feed”, a transmitter that is implanted into one’s brain to identify and assist an individual with all their basic life necessities. When Valentines Feed is damaged in a tragic and confusing event Titus’s love for her is put to the test. The Feed, now slowly killing her reveals a different …show more content…

This statement portrays to the idea of love in the identity, love, and Truth unit. When Titus found out about the seriousness of Valentine’s injuries his ideas and actions changed dramatically towards their relationship and his deep love for her changed also. “And for the first time, I started crying. I cried, sitting by her bed, and I told her the story of us” (Anderson 297). This quote from the book supports my conjecture and idea towards Titus’s change of love and affection towards Valentine. Her life threatening illness/injuries made Titus realize that he might not be able to see her again. This thought in his head gave him the courage to share all of his emotions and feelings with Valentine, which is another reason why I chose the quote above. When Titus started to cry in front of Valentine he was really expressing all of his sorrow and true love for his beloved Valentine. Prior to the dreadful news, Titus and Valentine were without a single worry. They both loved each other, but it was a bland love. Yes, they spent a lot of time together and shared many feelings together, but they were not true lovers. In a way they were unfamiliar with each other considering that both did not express their true feelings and thoughts. Their was a wall between them, and it was made up of the fear that one may not appreciate the other's true

In a world where people have access to anything, diversity is slowly dying. In Feed by M.T. Anderson, the death of diversity correlates with the passing of a character. Most characters have similar ideologies and tendency, but one character dares to be different. Advertisements relate with real life attitudes of the character. I argue that the “everything most goes” advertisement symbolized the death of diversity and a stronger formation of Titus’ status quo bias.
