Compare and contrast

Overall, Feed was a good book, and I am glad I got the chance to read it. I would definitely recommend this book to a student who has an interest in technology, and the future. Comparing Eleanor and Park to Feed I would definitely say I enjoyed Eleanor and park more because it was more relatable to me. In both book's the mains characters had a breakup, but in Feed Titus was more rude with the breakup. I did not like how Titus just erased Violet from his feed, and completely forget about her. I also found it rude how Titus made it obvious he was losing feelings for her by completely ignoring her feed messages. I liked how in Eleanor and Park they didn't end things because they wanted to but because they knew it was the best thing for Eleanor. Eleanor and Park's break up left me feeling more optimistic about them being together later on in the future. Vs in Feed, I know Titus didn't love Violet the way Park loved Eleanor. In both of the stories, the females were less fortunate than the men. In Feed Violet's family didn't have as much money compared to Titus. Which resulted in Violet not receiving her feed until she was seven. Titus had money to travel to the moon whenever he pleased, unlike Violet her family had to save up their money in order for her to take her first trip to the moon. Eleanor was also less fortunate then Park, Eleanor's situation was a lot worse then Violets because Eleanor family couldn't even afford the basic necessities. In both of the stories the men had their license, and a form of transportation to bring the women to and from.
