Violet . Violet and Her Diminishing Brain Capacity.

Violet . Violet and her diminishing brain capacity. She is losing her mental ability, her physical ability. Her malfunctioning technology is creating a massive disturbance in her life, one that will ultimately kill her. Violet is being used as a metaphor of the individual. Her feed is the technology that we use day to day. Our society would not be able to function if we did not have the technology. Her losing her mental capacity is correlated with how we have loss our individualism. We spend hours on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, reading, responding, longing for things we do not have, and wishing we could like him or date her. We have lost ourselves.

A hobby is supposed to be something that we do for fun. Something that holds our time in a that we enjoy without being completely stagnant. These days we, nearly, all have the same hobby, technology! Think about it. What do you do when you come home from work, school? What is one of the top contenders of how you like to unwind? It is the TV in the middle of your living room, the laptop plugged in in the corner, the phone that is sitting in your back pocket, or the game console perched on your entertainment center. We all have the SAME hobby. We engulf our minds in these virtual worlds, where we stop thinking and become stagnant. We are not our own anymore. Just as Violet pointed out, we are becoming more and more simple as time goes on. Why? Because we have loss the importance of self. We have idolized sameness and drummed out individuality. We are lost because we have never found ourselves, just merely copied what we have seen. By being simple we are a reflection of the characters in this book. We are all becoming the same person..
