Unit 7: Discussion - You a Novel and Cyber Security (Reading)

Instructions

Please choose one of the following questions to answer for this unit by Wednesday at 11:59 pm (CST).  You should also respond to two of your classmates' postings by Sunday at 11:59 pm (CST).

Before answering this unit's questions, you should read the novel You by Caroline Kepnes. 

Keep in mind, as you read the novel, a few of the questions posted below.

Questions (TV Series/Novel)

Choose one question to answer:

1. You has the ability to change the way we think about talking to strangers and sharing information online. Did you change your passwords when you finished? Describe your own online or social media persona and offer up a realistic perspective of the data that you release when making a post.  Offer up a specific example if you choose this posting, and detail the ways this online persona may/may not put you in danger.

2. When you finished reading, did you hope that Joe might get away with murder and find love? Or do you like to think that somehow, someway, he will be held responsible for his actions?

3.This novel is told from the serial killer’s perspective, just as Lindsay's Darkly Dreaming Dexter.  Describe the effect of this first person perspective and of Joe’s use of the word “you” in the text (second person perspective) for Beck.  When we are forced to see the world through Joe’s eyes, how does this unreliable view change our own in the real world?
