FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): EX: After having known Edward for just a few short months, Bella admits that “it would cause [her] physical pain to be separated from him now" (Meyer 283). |
Facebook was founded by Mark who originally planned for Facebook to be in the English language but, "by the end of 2008 it could be used in thirty-five language" (Kirkpatrick 275). |
When Spanish edition of Facebook was available to users, "within four weeks, 1,500 Spanish speakers from around the world had created a full version" (Kirkpatrick 277). |
Facebook gives individuals the opportunity to speak to others at any given time but, "when a father in Saudi Arabia caught his daughter interacting with men on Facebook, he killed her" (Kirkpatrick 279). |
Many people have taken every chance they have to speak on social networking sites, but "governments around the world are struggling to figure out how to handle Facebook's users when they take advantage of its freedoms" (Kirkpatrick 279). |
Facebook wasn't made to ridicule others or have the chance to lower self esteem, "Facebook is to give people tools that enable them to more efficiently communicate and thrive in a world in which more and more information surrounds us all no matter what we do" (Kirkpatrick 330). |

Bias: Do you detect a bias (a favoring of either side) in the author's writing?

Because David Kirkpatrick interviews Mark Zuckerberg who is the founder and creator of Facebook, he does cite references and includes them in his writing so it does add to the credibility of his book. It is not simply what he believes, but what he knows.
