Here's the short video that two of us made for the class assignment. We are depicting what it might be like to go shopping with the feed on.
Here is my question to any who check this, can you tell that the advertisements are being heard in his head?
All I can say is, wow! Unit! That book was like meg incredible! The only problem being, I still have as many questions as I have answers . Starting with the ending. It was so incredibly sad and honest. They were both meg honest and she was so brave and real. I don't know if it was the end of the world or just the end of The Feed. I can't wait until the discussion tomorrow.
I have really enjoyed being able to discuss the book with such a nice group of people. I know that everyone has his or her secrets and health issues. I think that Violet didn't want to go quietly into that wood. She wanted to shout it to the world and say that this isn't right and let's stop ignoring it. I think that I might understand, a least a little bit how Violet might have felt.. When I was diagnosed with MS, I was devastated. As a lifelong musician, when my hands went completely limp and numb, I thought I would never play again. When they mostly came back and I could play again, I decided that I wanted to play as much as possible before it happens again and this time possibly for good. Although I am far from dying, the loss of an ability is something like an old friend dying, I guess. This week has been particularly bad for me as I am experiencing a flare up of the disease and my whole left side is numb. My doctor has prescribed prednizone, which is partially why I keep having to go to the bathroom, (sorry for all of the interruptions). I had no intention of telling anyone this, and certainly am not seeking anyone's sympathy,but your friendliness and the character of Violet have given me a new reason for being so personal and transparent. You see, I suspect MS , like cancer, could be caused by the ills of modern society. Please check this page of the National MS society and the article on the causes of MS. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. It is interesting to note that Vermont has the highest incidence of MS, per ca pita in the entire nation.
