Blog Post #11 - What would this character's Facebook page look like?

Assignment:  For the sake of this blog post, I'd like you to do some thinking about the main characters in "The Story of an Hour" or "the Yellow Wallpaper."  What do you know about their hopes, dreams, fears, interests, hobbies, friendships, etc.? If they were alive during our modern times and were hip to social media, what would their Facebook pages look like? For either of the main characters (choose ONE), complete the following activities:

  1. In character, create at least ten (10) mock Facebook posts. What would this character likely announce to her friends on Facebook? Related: Who would she be friends with? :)
  2. Post at least one photo or image or meme you believe this character would post to her Facebook wall.
  3. Post at least one link to an article you believe this character would share with Facebook friends. 

If you're wondering what I'm talking about, look at this example: http://ilearntechnology.com/?p=3719

Note:  I'm not asking you to literally create a profile within Facebook, as it's kind of a hassle to do so. It requires a separate e-mail address, among other things. I'm satisfied with you using your blog entry space to accomplish these goals.
