Guiding Questions for Feed

Well mostly in the book 'Feed', the characters are teenagers that always want to have fun. They don't really want to study and just want to do whatever they want. And then they just want to go out and do almost about anything without them knowing the consequences. All the characters are all different and also depend on their feed. They also care about certain things that affect their feelings too. Us as teenagers just want to have fun with little education. That's bad but some of us also got things that we have to do in order to keep living the lives we have. We're not that advanced in technology as we want to be, but someday we will. So practically they have the advantage on certain things. It doesn't mean that we can't do the same thing as them. We will just do it in a different way and it'll still end up being the same, just different methods.

After WW11

The Types of propaganda used in this poster are: Appeal To Fear.

What this poster is showing and telling us is that we always be saying to people that they should sacrifice their lives for our country. What we don't know is that when we're saying that and telling others to join and sacrifice themselves is that we're telling them to die for our country and give their life in war. That's not right when they say that because nobody knows how hard it is to be in the army and be in the front lines risking your life. It also says that," He knew the meaning of sacrifice!" That is saying that knowing when people tell you that and you still join the army risking your life. Your joining the army knowing on what the consequences are if you do get sent out in the front and know that your life will be at risk in this.

We get a different message from this poster to everyone else. It's because during that time while the war was going on, they were in need of troops. So maybe they were thinking that it might be good to give their lives and they will be remembered through time. Not everyone is remembered just for joining the army but their families will know that they went to war to bring peace with other countries across the nations.
