As I was reading over Victor's blog about how he thinks Faceook is harmful, I came over a point he made that actually contradicts his point.
" I admit that Facebook and Youtube helps me once in a while when i need to communicate with a friend or watch a video demonstration. Whenever i forget to write down a homework assignment or forget the instructions for it, Facebook easily connects me live feedback..."
Now here, I agree with Victor, hence I think that Facebook is helpful. Based on my personal experience, I get on Facebook at least twice a week to ask my classmates for help on an assignment. Besides that fact, Facebook also helps us remember all of our friends on facebook birthdays. At least according to Nicholas Carson.
Facebook makes it easy, without using up minutes on cellphones, to communicate long distance with friends and family members. You can also share hundreds of photos with them very easily without waiting hours to send them via email.
Another quote I got from Victor's blog is,
"I think that Facebook has a lot of unnecessary things like games and groups that are just plain distractions for someone who is trying to just get in, get an answers, and leave."
Now when Victor says, just get in, get an answer, and leave, I am not quite sure what he means. What does that have to do with anything? I have to disagree with him when he mentions that groups are plain distractions. They actually help people greatly in the real world. Jessica Lee points out the fact that,
"Pages Allow Marketers to Publish to the Stream
Pages Allow Marketers to Engage Fans with Rich Media
Pages Let Marketers Analyze How Fans are Interacting with the Insights Dashboard
Pages Let Marketers Increase SEO."
Just the other day, my friend invited me join his group on Facebook promoting his parent's Japanese Restaurant. That is a great way to get the word out about their buisness especially when there is almost a third of the U.S. using Facebook. Moreover, I believe Facebook is very helpful to everyone.
Celie's letters to God tell me that she trusts God with her deepest secrets. This doesn't necessarily mean that she believes in God because she never puts her letters in the form of a prayer or anything like that, she just writes to him. Another reason would be that she writes to God in fear.
"You better not ever tell nobody but God. It'd kill your mammy."(pg.1)
Her father told her this and this is probably the only reason why she writes to God, because she is afraid of him. Since her mom died shortly after that, she probably thinks he's going to kill her now if she tells anyone else. But in her letters, she shows no sign of hatred for anyone or writes anything mean, so far. She is a very sweet, innocent, and harmless person. She doesn't ever hurt anybody yet she takes multiple beatings and threats from others. For example, at a point in the story she calmly explains what a little twelve year old boy(demon) did to her.
"He pick up a rock and laid my head open. The blood run all down..."(pg.12)
She didn't do one thing back to him and all his dad, her husband, said was don't do that. Now I don't know about you but that just makes me straight up mad. But the point is Celie wouldn't hurt a fly and she doesn't mean harm to no one.
Her letters also show us that she has good intentions. She's always thinking about her sister and how she can do for her. Nettie is Celie's world.
"All I thought about was Nettie. How she could come to me if I marry him and he be so love struck with her I could figure out a way for us to run away."(pg.9)
Celie is willing to marry someone she doesn't even love just so she can save her little sister and get her safe. She is willing to change her entire life for Nettie because she doesn't want her to end up like her with her awful father abusing and molesting Nettie too.
Celie has good intentions and puts others before herself all the time.
