Leah's treasure hunt

Leah Leah Leah :) 

I read through your post and your feed A stood out to me the most. I really liked how you evaluated Titus and brought up the topic of how he is scared of living life without the feed because he rely's on it so much. At the beginning of the post you connect Feed to your personal life and really got into detail and i thought it made the post a lot more meaningful because you weren't talking aimlessly. 

Your main points of how you connect the feed to television and cellphones but how as a teenager we still think on our own...i feel like that was very insightful because in class discussions i don't recall anyone bringing up that point. They either agree or disagree that we are similar to the feed. Another great point was when you compared Titus to us and violet to the writer... i never thought of it like that and it helped me get a better understanding of the book and why certain things were written the way they were.

It is obvious that both the feed and the digital world connect. As you stated in your opening paragraph televisions and cellphones are similar to the feed because they shoot out information to us and most people in society try to buy the newest device that comes out. When if you really stop to think about it... THERE ALL THE SAME!

I think that if you added some specific quotes to your blogs when referring to Feed or any other book we read in class. I really enjoyed reading this blog though you connected everything together and you brought up really good main points that i wouldn't have thought of. 

Your last sentence "I think the author is right about what he is saying and i did not really think of it as much and it kind of made me feel like I'm dumbing down with the future technology." really made me think about how when i beg my mom for a new cellphone when my phone does the same exact thing i should think about how the company/ device is really brain washing me and just wants money. 

I can't wait to read you blogs to come i really enjoyed this one.
