The Girls In Their Summer Dresses - Facebook Style

We chose to do "girls in their summer dresses," which is a short story about a man named Michael and his "wandering eyes." We decided to do our project using the Facebook format. Being that the whole story deals with the couple spending time in New York going from place to place deciding what to do, and eventually ending up at a bar where the wife Frances confronts the husband's eyes for other women, we thought it would be fun to explain this via Facebook. We will start by adding them as friends on facebook and selecting that they are married, and with status updates we will explain their dialouge. We also thought it would be interesting to have them become "fans" of some of the things they mention, like The NY Giants, Courvosier, and Washington Square. We also have created some different types of fan pages for different ethnic groups of women that we will work Michael into becoming fans of theirs. We have also considered creating events that that will officially appear in the news feed, explaing the two's events together, possibly even the event of them spending the day together in NY City.
