The author did a great job of describing how she created her avatar, as well as the difficulties she faced while creating them. To her the Evolver didn’t have as many advanced features as some other avatar creating sites, like the Sims and Mii for Wii. She talked about the entire process about how she created her avatar, but towards the end realized the lack of options on the Evolver, and ended up settling for choices that didn’t make her the happiest. For example, the author began by describing how because of her Indian decent, picking a skin color was difficult since the Evolver didn’t have enough shades of tan. However, when the author picks her hairstyle, it is obvious that she settled for a haircut just at first glance. While you can hear the frustration in the authors voice about the lack of options for ethnic people, she still manages to deal with with the choices she had. She has a reason for each pick she made. She also mentions how there were a lot of non-normal avatar choices to pick from. For example, there was a lot of orange and pink hair as well as blue and green skin.

Overall, I think the author did a great job speaking to audience her choices in creating her avatar. You can basically hear the author talking to us and the frustrated, yet calm tone she has in her paper.
