Chapter 27: Suggestion for Writing 2: Elizabeth Stone, “Grief in the Age of Facebook”

Read Grief in the Age of Facebook by Elizabeth Stone and answer the following question. Then “submit” your work.

Question 1

Stone says that she learned new things about Casey by looking at her Facebook page (paragraph 8). Do you think that people can gain a deeper understanding of someone from his or her online presence? Write an essay that takes a stand, presenting your own position, supporting Stone’s point, or arguing that Facebook is not a good way to get to know someone. Use other technology examples, if you wish, as well as your own experience, observation, or research.
