I really enjoyed reading your autobiography. I think you were being very genuine in describing your Facebook identity, which seems to do a good job of portraying the real you. It was interesting and refreshing to see how raw and honest you are on your Facebook, since many Facebook users are reluctant to say things that could be offensive to others. Your analysis of your posts, pictures, and attitude on Facebook was thorough, and seems to support the idea that your online identity is “real.” However, you also acknowledge a separation between the real you and your Facebook identity due to your different relations to people. I think you did a good job of proving that you are authentic on Facebook, while still acknowledging that it is not exactly representative of every aspect of the real you. I especially appreciated how you discussed the thought process behind your posts and self-presentation. By explaining that you are seeking attention through your use of Facebook, your autobiography really seemed genuine and truthful.

The only critiques I could come up with were formatting issues. While I was quite entertained reading your autobiography, it would have been more aesthetically pleasing if you had split it up into sections, similar to a Wikipedia article. Your pictures also could have been formatted as thumbnails, so they would have fit into the page better. Overall, I think it was very well written. Your strong diction really added to the points you were making. The style you wrote in was very compelling and unique, and the aspects of your Facebook that you chose to talk about seemed logical, making the entire piece easy to read. Fantastic job!

I think you really portrayed a very clear and defined character in your autobiography. I like how you formatted your page because it adds to that kind of apathetic 'not-give-fuck' attitude. I think that you took the assignment seriously and the quality of the writing flows very well. When it comes to the authenticity of your facebook profile, it does seem like you're putting on a bit of a show for attention which might not seem parallel with your irl self that does not like to interact with crowds. You seem to be unsure if your facebook identity is parallel with your real-time identity, which leads me to question do you also not-give-a-fuck in real life? Maybe you strive to not give a fuck but you actually sort of do do? Interestingly enough I'll probably never know.

Also Todd Akins wasn't legitimately raped. People who have been legitimately raped have been legitimately raped. Dingus.
