The Facebook of "Bartleby": Due 12 February



For this writing assignment, let's imagine "Bartleby the Scrivener" taking place in a contemporary setting. Office administrative staff spend their time on computers, now always on work-related tasks. Let's imagine that the characters of the story have Facebook accounts. Your task is to pick one character and describe his Facebook account. What is the profile picture? What personal info do they list? What is on their wall or do they write on others' walls? What kind of apps do they use? Etc. As you describe their account, be sure to write about your reasoning: explain why you think their account has these features.
200-300 words.
