Quotes From Feed By M. T. Anderson

In the book, “A Raisin in the Sun”, the family is faced with many challenges. Between gender, discrimination, family, social classes, and the very unique American dream, conflictions surfaced and began to become bigger problems. At the end of the book, the Youngers moved out of their apartment. But, we did not know what the future held for this family. If the Youngers stayed in the old apartment they were living in, they would revert back to their old habits. “Who’s fighting you? Who even cares about you?” (Pg.32).

“That's one of the great things about the feed--which you can be super smart without ever working. Everyone is super smart now. You can look things up automatic, like science and history, like if you want to know which battles of the Civil War George Washington fought in and shit.” (10.3)

Negative word choice such as “evil”, “bad”, and “controlling”, forces the story to take on the idea that future will be gloomy, dark, and oppressive. This diction causes direction opposition to the dream most people hold true in their hearts: A bright and beautiful feature. Titus’s diction supports the mood of foreboding in a different manner. It is known that education is highly valued to people today (or hopefully is). The simple diction we see in Titus raises cause for concern. Words and phrases like “da da da”, “I mean”, “all this stuff” show Titus is not educated to the standards we hold today. Along with a poor excuse for a vocabulary Titus is also repetitive, saying “like” more than once in the same sentence. The idea that our future generations will not be educated enough to properly explain key elements of their own society and way of life raises cause for concern, making the reader feel an uncomfortable possibility that this could indeed happen. M.T Anderson crafts the mood of this scene through diction and the casual appearance of who really controls people in the future, corporations. He chooses the mood of foreboding for this scene because it reflects the rest of the novel, the point being to make the reader aware of the similarities between modern times and this conception

Like big thanks to everyone for not telling me that my lesion is like meg completely spreading.” • Purpose:

In light of what the novel stresses: that making things too easy for humans will ruin the meaning for their existence, the author creates a character essential to get this point across. Violet, Titus’ girlfriend, was different from Titus and his friends. She grew up with less money than them, and with parents against the feed from the start.

Sleep is undoubtedly one of the most essential requirements for the human body to function properly. It plays a very important role in ensuring the wellness of the human body both physically as well as mentally. In fact, the importance of sleep is clear from the fact that it helps you in maintaining a good lifestyle throughout our entire lifetime.

It is usually said that the mood in which you wake up is largely dependent on the type of sleep you have been in. This in itself is a big proof of the importance of sleep in our lives. While sleeping, our body finally gets its share of rest and it also gets ample time in rejuvenating from all the wear and tear that it went through during the entire day. Not only this, the body is in its own working condition when we are sleeping as this is the time when it supports the healthy functioning of the brain as well as physical attributes of our body.
