2nd blog for feed

Violet and Titus' conversation on democracy and republic and how he think she thinks he dumb..DUMBOCRACY
The feed does affect Titus' personality and intelligence in a bad way. When I was reading the book and Titus and Violet were having a conversation about the democracy and republic, Titus didn't really know what he was talking about until Violet told him. After that conversation he started to feel dumb. When Violet was telling him that she got the feed when she was seven Titus said "holy shit" I can kind of tell from reading that, that Titus couldn't imagine life without the feed and he wouldn't know how to act without the feed because he is not able to think on his own.
Violet's project is that she is going to mess with her feed because she know it is messed up from when the guy touched them. Violet decides that she is going to look at stuff and not purchase it. When the feed see's what kind of stuff Violet likes that is how they market her but they cant market her because she keeps playing around with the feed. What does this tell me about Violet? It tells me that she has more sense than other people to know that they are marketing her. She does think for herself which is a good thing because the other kids dont. Titus isnt really sure whats going on with the project but when they got to the mall he finally started to catch on.

Titus' reponse to them buying him a upcar was he was happy and when they got to the car place he didn't know which one to choose. The reason that they bought him a upcar i think is stupid.They bought him a upcar basically because they wanted to release stress from when the man hacked all of the feeds and they wanted him to forget about it and not think about so thats the reason he got it. But a situation like this does not necessarily happen in real like and people dont really forget things.Other than that Titus was happy and especially being with violet that day.

When Violet's father uses the word "dude" it does stick out compared to "unit". I think the author used this word to show how people back in the day used to talk compared to the way they live in the future. I think this book also shows that this is how the future might be, Its kind of the same when we look at our parents and they say something old and we have a new term for it all the time. It just kind of reflects how life is today.
