One status, Three Takes

Read the 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. Be sure to consider biases and different social groups as you write.For each of the statuses below, discuss each interpretation of the status. Your paper should be 2-3 pages in length.

• Status 1: They're always trying to keep me down!
• Status 2: A very good day. I didn't have to see any of the sickly, disgusting mites that live around here.
• Status 3: I love my life!
