Personal Reflection + Reflection At the beginning of the trimester, we discussed out personal digital footprints. Recall out discussion about what our digital footprints reveal about us as individuals - our favorite music and movies, quotes that inspire us, relationships we keep online. We determined that the information we put online, is for the most part, within our control; we determine what we want the digital world to see of us. However, we also decided we cannot determine WHAT our online viewers think based on what they see. Based on our read of Feed, and related discussion, reflect on whether or not it is possible to control our individual online identities as Violet is attempting to control the feed.

There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Quote #2. Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men. Quote #3.

PostSecrets Secrets have stories; they can also offer truths. - Frank Warren Description
In November 2004, Frank Warren printed 3,000 postcards inviting people to share a secret: something that was true, something they had never told anyone. No two secrets are identical, but every secret has a story behind it. Directions We have discovered in the novel Feed by M.T. Anderson that the feed has great control over the characters’ lives; it tells them how to dress, what music to listen to, how to speak, what is cool. Despite the character’s great reliance on the feed, we can also assume they have secrets with stories behind them. For example, it was recently revealed to us as the readers that there is a great chance that the feed is literally killing Violet, a secret she kept from Titus for several weeks. Construct a postcard from the perspective of Titus. Steps:

Reminder: Check Skyward for missing Social Studies work! Literary Analysis sample paragraphs from class.... In Feed by M.T. Anderson, the feed - an internal internet device implanted in the nervous system - has ultimate power over Titus. The feed allows him to never think for himself: it answers his questions, it tells him how to win video games, recommends shopping trends, and communicates for him through virtual typing. Titus admits that he barely knows how to read, because he protested the Silent E in School ™ . “When you have a feed all of your life, you are brought up to not think about things” (113). Titius’ own parents admit to him, when he questions his stupidity, that they created him to simply be beautiful. His namesake suggests he is a God amongst men, when in reality he cannot even write. The feed has prevented him from ever having to learn or be able to communicate on his own. It has made him solely reliant on the feed. In Feed by M.T. Anderson, the feed - an internal internet service attached to the nervous system - has power over Titus, because all the knowledge he needs is digitally connected to his brain. The feed does all of his thinking for him. This, in result, has made him less creative or intelligent. He doesn’t have to think as hard. “That is one of the great things about the feed - that you can be super smart without ever working” (47). Titus is irresponsible and lazy. The feed has allowed him to be entertained his whole, so he no longer feels the desire to learn. Instead, his primary motivations are to hang with friends, shop on the feed, and go mal when he feels in anyway bored. Do Now: Get you notebooks, have materials for writing ready to use. 1.
