After discussing some key elements of Lahiri's "Interpreter of Maladies" you will have the opportunity to create a Facebook profile for either Mrs. Das or Mr. Kapasi. This means, of course, that you will have to refer back to their characterizations. Even though you know this, the process of characterization is how we learn about characters through direct description, what they say, what they do, and/or what others say about them.
For the Facebook activity, you will have to complete the following profile items:
1. Profile Picture- search google for a random person that you think accurately depicts a person's appearance. You do not have to solely base the picture off of physical description, so long as you choose a picture that you think speaks to his/her personality.
2. Status Updates- what kinds of things might this character post based off of their characterization. How might they say it. All things to consider.
3. The Bio- There's a difference between objectively listing a person's life story and that which a person is actually willing to share. Consider both.
4. Likes/Ads- What might this character be interested in based on what you know about them?
5. Friends- Once again, find pictures of people on google who would likely associate themselves with your character.
