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 secret from the perspective of a character in Feed. Some of the characters you may choose from include:
