Module 02 Written Assignment – One Status, Three Takes
- You’ve read them, and you probably find them annoying. That’s right; we’re talking about cryptic and ambiguous status updates. Select three statuses below and think of three different scenarios where the original status listed could be interpreted to mean something different.
For example, if the status update was, “Goodbye, cruel world!” it could be a reach out for help, a reference to pop culture (Pink Floyd album or several other songs), or someone being overly dramatic and silly.
What it meant to the original poster depends on their situation and personality, and what it means to the reader varies as well. You can interpret these statuses from the poster’s perspective and/or the audience’s. Be sure to consider biases and different social groups as you write.
Choose three statuses. For each of your chosen statuses below, discuss each interpretation of the status. Your paper should be 1-2 pages in length.- “Just had an interesting encounter. Life, you never fail to surprise!”
- “Feeling a strange mix of emotions today. “
- “Well, that was unexpected… but in a good way!”
- “Currently contemplating the mysteries of the universe.”
- “Sometimes, you’ve got to let go to move forward.”
- “Spent the day with some incredible characters. “
- “Taking a break from the ordinary, embracing the extraordinary.”
- “Isn’t it funny how life’s little detours can lead to the best adventures?”
- “Learning some valuable lessons today. The hard way, of course!”
- “Life, you cheeky thing, I see your plot twist. Challenge accepted!”
