reader's journal
When I first picked up up this book I had my doubts. The first few weeks of reading this book was hard, it was really confusing. Not only did I have to learn the characters but the slang words they used as well. They would use words such as unit, which was just another word for dude. Mal was another word that was used which ment malfunction, high, or drunk depending on what was going on. After seeing them so often in different contexts I started to get the lingo. The book takes place in the future. Just about every kid as well as adults have computers in the heads. The computers are called the Feed. people are able to look up whatever they want, even in school. Not only that but people can shop as well as chat on the feed. Everyone relies on the Feed. The Feed has become part of the brain. This book makes you think how in our society today, almost everyone relies on. People are becoming crippled without they’re electronics just like Violet does in the book. |
