To continue progress on my research project, this week i visited many different websites hoping to figure out more about my topic. I found many websites that i have found useful. My next step toward creating my project is to figure out how to put all the information i found In the order that makes most sense. I plan to convince the audience that media and advertisement has more effect on them then they think.

Page 247 "were sorry Violet Durn. unfortunately FeedTech and other investors reviewed your purchasing history and we do not feel that you would be a reliable investment at this time".
In the quote above Nina finally responds to Violet about her claim she put in to fix her feed for free because she does not have the money to fix it herself and her warranty is up. Nina gives the unfortunate news that FeedTech does not have a reason to fix her feed because she is not a strong consumer and she could not benefit they're company in any way. This futuristic company only cares what a client can do for them. Violet is slowly dying and unable to move many parts of her body, and they still refuse to help her. The only way that FeedTech would possibly help her is she'd continuously consume their items for the next six months, then a repair MAY be possible.
I chose this quote because it shows how media and advertisement can manipulate peoples brain to better them as consumers, not people. It'd be impossible to think about life with out t.v commercials, radio advertisements, billboards Etc.
I believe that M.t Anderson wrote the book "feed" to warn consumers what is going on with the world now and how major companies have plenty of ways to control what we think about on a daily basis with out us even noticing.

(page226) -Violet; " you know the day is going to get hot again when the rain is over because thats what the neighborhood association decided on"
this quote is from when violet is leaving Titus a message that he receives when he wakes up, Violets is not getting any better. the doctors say the feed is disrupting her brain, the part that controls your body and memory. She writes titus not to worry him, but to talk to him, but Titus is fast asleep. In violets message she reminisces on old memories with her mother and talks about weather. the quote above shows that the weather depends on what people want it to be. The society controls mother nature. I dont get how they do this, but the author M.t anderson continues to come up with things for his futuristic novel.

*SERVICE TO A CORRUPTED FEED (pg 155)
In our modern day society when something goes wrong, we call customer service. In M.t andersons society if something is wrong with someones feed, the call FeedTech where the customer is appointed to an automated computer Named Nina, it insists it can help Violet solve her feed issues and make the right decisions for her to make her the happiest shes ever been, but Violet becomes angry and hangs up.
Relating to what i found out earlier; the feeds are run by huge "evil" companies, i believe the major companies are trying to take total control over the people by influencing them to do what they want them to. Violet is refusing the help, this is showing her rebelling to what the rest of the society thinks is normal. If i was to guess, i think Violet will continue to rebel through out the book.
