In Feed, the book I'm reading, the character and his friend Violet are realizing how skewed their world is. The perspective that is missing is that of their friends, who are going on with life normally. While Titus and Violet are wondering what's really going on in the world, their friends are going on with life but having to watch Titus and Violet do all this.
I think that Link and the others are confused by what's going on but also they just see it as some crazy obsession. It's weird to think that Titus and Violet are discovering terrible things but there's nothing about what their friends think of it. They are portrayed in the book as not very intelligent, so maybe they just don't think anything of it at all. But I think there might be something there that the author left out on purpose.
Good Post Ethan. Do you think the perspective of the friends would be powerful if it were included in the story? I wonder if the characters are necessary. Because if the perspective is that they just think nothing of the two, then what's the power in that absence of perspective.
