My Recommendation

A reading that I would recommend to a friend would be "In a Station on a Metro" by Pound. I would recommend this to my friends first off because I know that most of them don't like reading. This poem is perfect for my friends because it is super short and it has multiple meanings depending oh who reads it. It can paint many different images into the reader's mind. I would also recommend this poem because I have always thought that a person does not need a thousand words to explain his point. He just has to go to the main points. Another reading I would recommend would be "Flight Patterns". The reason is that I believe that a lot of people and not just my friends could relate to the story. It talks a lot about modern issues, which affects all of us today. The character of the story was also just a normal person. He was not anybody special and it makes the reader really understand his feeling even though the story was not really from the first person point of view. Also because I really just enjoyed reading it and I liked how the story had a serious tone to it, but also added a humorous side too.

Facebook

Bartleby’s facebook is a mystery. Nobody has ever seen his facebook. All a person has ever seen from his facebook is his headline. His headline reads “I prefer not to approve you as a friend”. Bartleby always denies all friend requests so he has no friends in his facebook. His status for facebook is always set on apathetic. If you were though, able to hack into his account and view his profile you would see that his profile is very plain and has nothing special about it. On his profile he shares a video. The video is a thirty minute film just centered on staring at a brick wall. On his wall he has written, “I have given up using facebook and you should be able to see the reason why”. I chose to describe Bartleby’s facebook like this because in the story he was a very mysterious character. You don’t really get to know much about him throughout the whole story. Even as the story starts to end and you think you’re about to find out about him, the story ends in a weird way. It never explains why he acts that way. In this case, just when you are able to hack into his profile and view it, you still find out nothing about him. I also chose to explain his profile this way because I know very little about Facebook and I only wrote about what I knew for Facebook. The reason is because I created a profile on Facebook and then I never logged on since then so I'm still a newbie when it comes to social networking websites.
