If Ms. Emily were to have a Facebook page, then this is what I think it would look like. One important aspect that cannot be overlooked is that this page has not been touched in many years. I emphasized this by writing "years ago" since her last status change or log-on. The reason I emphasize this, is because this is Ms. Emily while she was still in love with Homer, and before she became an isolated hermit. I believe that she had a very attachable personality, and stuck on Homer like glue. This is why I put three successive wall posts asking about Homer when he was gone. Notice that her first wall post is very inquisitive, showing her genuine concern and attachment towards him. She uses full punctuation and spends time formulating her questions. After receiving no response from Homer, she attempts again, this time with a little less. In her last wall post she writes, with no punctuation or effort, "When are you coming back". This progression is attempting to show her irritation towards Homer's lack of commitment to her and lack of responsiveness to her concern. Homer responds similarly after the her third post, giving as little information as possible, and without committing to a specific day that he would come back, merely saying that it would be soon. Ms. Emily's relationship status even after Homer's response remains, "In a relationship with Homer Barron" showing her attachment to him even she kills him, as we come to find out in the story. As far as her profile picture, I put a representation of her house, basically because that is the only thing most of the towns people saw. She has no photos of her or videos, showing her relative isolation, and over-attachment to one person (Homer). For Homer's picture, I put a picture of two guys, presumably friends, portraying Homer's enjoyment of male company. They are dressed in modern clothes to signify Homer's involvement in society and his keeping with the times. This is in direct contrast to Ms. Emily's gray, old, faded picture. Her privacy settings, though not viewable on the page, are set to private.
