Read the book review handed out at the door. Answer the questions on the right side by annotating the text and your answers. While reading and annotating, consider the elements of the book review. Book Review A strong book review critically evaluates the makings of the novel. As the writer, it is not your job to summarize the book. That is what can be found on the back cover if any of your readers decides to check the book out. Instead you will discuss your opinion of the book, in writing, using information from the book as support.

Answer the questions and sketch a symbol directly on the handout provided at the door. “It’s like a spiral: They keep making everything more basic so it will appeal to everyone. And gradually, everyone gets used to everything being basic, so we get less and less varied as people, more simple. So the corps make everything even simpler. And it goes on and on” (Feed, M.T.

Inferencing | PostSecrets
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:
