temperatures, etc.

School

the people learn and only teach the students how to work the feed. The students don’t really

really just how to use the feed. 73% of the population uses the feed.

system.

dad never got married. Violet’s dad is fearful of the government and the government
controlling his brain. He teaches “basic”

Question 7

Titus’s Brain

Answer 7
