Everything seems more exciting and eventful because it is told from the main character Titus' point of view.

Feed By M.T. Anderson
pages 87-112.

From Titus' point of view the characters in this story have gone through so much
but have dealt with it extremely well for their age. The way he explains its almost like
their lives are one big adventure. First they all travel to the moon to explore,
then their feeds are taken over by a protester and they are sent to the hospital, and
then they all find out that their new friend violet that they met on the moon is out to
change the world. Of course through all these exciting times they had their downfalls as
well but they didn't seem as dramatic because of Titus' very up beat personality. His outlook
is always very positive. I'm not saying he's naive and doesn't know whats going on around him
and thats why he's so positive. No. Not at all. He approaches things with an open mind and
makes reading this book from his point of view enjoyable. Plus the fact that when a story is told by one very outgoing person it makes you feel more like you're experiencing the story rather
than just reading it.

Think about it which story would you rather hear, one that your boring uncle tells you or one
that one of your crazy, outgoing friends does ?
