Frederick+Douglass+Facebook

a) Our project is a replica facebook page for Frederick Douglass. The word “Photos” is a link to an album that shows pictures from events from the chapters in the book. Captions of the pictures can be read when hovered over the pictures in the Photobucket albums. Different characters from the narrative post on Douglass’ facebook “wall” about different events from the novel. Some of the events from the novel are commented on by characters involved. It brings Frederick Douglass' life into the future! b) Our facebook page is set in the time period after Douglass is safely a free man living in the North. On the page, we acted as the individuals Douglass talked about in his narrative and posted quick summary wallposts of some of the events from the chapters. The normal characterists of a real facebook page are seen on our project. Some of these characterists include a relationship status, current location, hometown, and birthday. The people that Douglass came into contact with are seen as his facebook "friends". c) Yes, we would recommend this type of project to other future presentators. It was an interesting way to present //The Narrative of Frederick Douglass//. We believe making a facebook enabled us to visually represent the characters’ actions and bring into the current technology what the characters said and did. We also believe it was a simple-to-understand way to summarize the information of the narrative to our audience.
