The word “school” is followed by the trademark symbol ™ and capitalized throughout the novel. What is the significance of this and what is the state of education?
When reading through this section of the week of the book "Feed" by M.T. Anderson, our main character and his current love interest Violet start dating. As their relationship grows we learn a lot about how different they really are. Violet grows up in a poor family which is strange because her father, from what we know, is a professor in an unnamed college or university. Which if you think about it, it's strange that their family is poor when one of the parents is a professor which pays quite a bit in this current time. This is a huge contrast from what our main character's lifestyle is like. From what we know about him, his family is rather rich, due to them just giving him a car for surviving the moon. Though we don't know their profession, they must be high paying. When they being to talk about education we find out that our main character was taught at School™. The trademark is what got me thinking, is it's trademarked it's owned by a company, and they would probably teach to promote their other products. This significance is important because we know Violet is home-schooled and our main character says she's smarter than him. Which shows that the state of education of the feed School™ is poor and manipulating the kids from a young age.
Why are these lesion popping up more and more, is it because of the feed?
I think the lesions are an effect of the feed and they use the media to brush them under the rug
What doesn't the feed corp own?
They seem to own everything on the feed, education, media, and advertisements.
Is there a rebellion against the feed?
We've already seen protestors but is there an underground revolution like in 1984.
