What would it be like if everything you see and hear was controlled by one large organization? In the novel, Feed, Violet’s brain is damaged from a hacking on her feed. This is causing her body to shut down. It influenced her point of view about the society by showing how if she didn’t have a feed, she could be living a normal life without having to die. What influences my view about society is what happens inside and how the community acts. First of all, Violet thinks that it’s her fault that her body is being shut down when in reality, her feed is the one who is responsible.

I can tell Quendy is Violet’s father because the next line states that her father was walking near Titus and Violet. Overall, you can see how this influenced her point of view about the society she lives in, which causes her to believe her brain is the reason why she’s shutting
