Hi Desmond!
Overall I thought your post was great and I could tell that you analyzed your profile deeply, going back years to pick through statuses and pictures for this assignment. I really enjoyed your theme - showing change over time was different from any of the other posts I took a look at. I thought that your use of a .gif was a great idea to show the progression of your profile pictures and it added an entirely new element to your autobiography that made me want to read the profile picture section. The formatting of your bio box at the top was really nice, but there was a problem with the placement of the first picture you included and it blocked me from seeing the box completely. While you said you were only focusing on primary elements of your Facebook profile I would have also liked to see you analyze more components than just profile picture and statuses. I feel that I got a great understanding of those two pieces because you went really in-depth surrounding them; however, I do not feel as though I got the full picture of your Facebook identity as a whole. It would have been great to see you analyze parts such as your map or likes as well. Your writing was very open and honest and I felt as though you were sharing your complete personal reflections with the reader, which made your piece even more interesting to read. I also really enjoyed the tone and perspective of the section “Desmond Kolean-Burley.” In the following section you clearly outlined your theme and what you were going to write about, and this helped to create a definite structure to your piece. I felt that I had a good understanding of what I was going to be reading from that point on. One suggestion I have is that the first paragraph of this section does not seem to fit with the rest of your theme, and it might have been interesting to include this information later and address how it, too, has changed overtime!
As a whole I thought that your autobiography was very detailed and you took your analysis very seriously.
