Can It Be Considered A Facebook?

Bartleby’s facebook is not one of fashion. His picture would be of complete black chosen by Bartleby himself, for he strongly believes a blank picture would represent his personality better. Bartleby’s status would say, “I prefer not to, so leave me alone, I’m not bugging you.” The central theme of Bartleby’s page is blankness. His page contains almost nothing about himself besides the fact that he prefer not to. As far as friends go, Bartleby would have no friends. This is not because know one likes him but rather he won’t accept anyone. Bartleby seems to be in a state of complete isolation, purposely keeping himself from others.
The biggest mystery to Bartleby’s facebook is that he logs in everyday. This analysis makes one wonder what he is doing. He has nothing about himself, no picture, no music, no friends, and he only has comments from people asking him what he does online. Bartleby’s favorites would be very unusual sites that most have not heard of.
Bartleby’s facebook has no purpose, serves no communicational purposes, and basically is a page of nothing. When asked why he doesn’t edit his page, he responds, “I prefer not to.” This seems to sum up the entire story of Bartleby. For being such a cyber guru, one might think he would have the fanciest page of them all. Bartleby lives his entire life on his facebook because he feels at piece. He is a reserved person who would not like to be bothered and that is why his facebook stands in complete blankness, in hope that he would turn people away with his plain facebook with nothing but nothing.
