In the story "Feed" by M.T. Anderson, we are told this story like most dystopias, in the first person. In the "Feed" dystopia setting we are told the story by a teenager with the feed, named Titus. From what we know Titus is born into a rich family or a middle class family, seeing how the bought him a car, called an upcar in this future, simply because he came out of the hospital, but with no major injuries, and that he goes on vacations on a whim. We have no idea what his parents do for a living, from what it seems his father's job requires him to work late occasionally, while his mother is always home in time for when they have dinner. Titus is like the average teen from what we know, he has friends, goes to School™, and goes to parties. This is one of the reason why I like Titus, in this dystopia he's a normal, average guy, though he is around certain things, he's not that biased (Which may be due to his limit intelligence on things he doesn't care about), but his attitude towards others and those he cares about kinda angers me, also this is the future, I would like someone to explain to me every new which Titus doesn't do because this is all normal for him. For example, I've been wondering how and where the feed operates from, like if it is an attachment on the body, or built in. This isn't answered until three quarters through the book, and Titus doesn't even tell us, his girlfriend Violet does. These are the main reason why I don't think Titus is the best person to tell the story, but he'll do for now.
