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.

Instead, his primary motivations are to hang with friends, shop on the feed, and go mal when he feels in anyway bored.
