Feed #2

As I continued to read Feed, I found it a little easier to follow. It became more interesting, but it still isn't as good as I would have hoped. One thing I completely don't understand in this book is the lesions. Why do people think they look good? It's basically cuts and sores on your body. When Quendy came into the party with all the lesions all over her, I was disgusted. It makes me think she should be in constant pain or something, nothing about it seems good. I think the Feed has major control over these people and their perception of things. They try to make lesions seem "cool". As well as convincing you of all sorts of other things. It reminds me of our world today and how consumed we are by technology. Obviously our world today isn't as bad, but the media does have control over what we see and hear and can try to change our perceptions of things. The book just multiplies that by a hundred.
The fact that Violet wants to fight the feed is awesome. I just wish more people around her would see it the same way. She's not like everyone else, she sees what the feed has done to everyone. I'm curious to find out who all turns against the feed, if anyone else does. Another random moment that I thought was interesting was when Titus mentioned taking a few vacations in the ocean. Did he literally mean IN the ocean? I've come to realize I can't really put anything past this book. It continues to surprise me. I can't imagine how that could be sustainable and work. But if that was realistic, that'd be pretty cool. He also said there was a lot to do there, and I can't think of many things to do in the deep waters.
