Homework #13 feed b

Feed is written about teens but unlike many other teens related books, it is written to a more broad audience. Pre teens would enjoy this book because it is about the future and what things would be like. Adults would read the book feed with a different insight than most teens because they have already seen the difference in society from when they were growing up to the present whereas teens only have experienced there own generation and really have nothing to compare it with.  Feed to teens is what our generation is to adults. 
 Books like feed are interesting because they appeal to a wide audience that can be read on multiple different levels. It is similar to the book Animal Farm. In Animal Farm children read it as a childrens story about farm animals and adults often read it as a metaphor to stalinist russia. The style of writing something to appeal to more than one audience is extremely difficult because you have to write it in a form where it is complex yet easy to understand. 
   The book Feed states a problem but not much of a solution which is not necessarily bad. After all Al Gore's 2006 documentary, An Inconvenient truth is about the effects of global warming and how doomed our society is if we continue at this rate but it does not provide any solution or progress method. Still, Al Gore managed to win the nobel peace prize. Feed is similar through the fact that it shows a problem on our generation and the following one but does not end in a way that a disney movie would, making it more interesting as a whole.
