Using the library databases, find 3 sources that you could enter into conversation with.

Eg. When the man breaks up with his girlfriend to be with the woman he met online; the deep/intimate conversations the individuals had through the dating platform; the concluding indication that the couple meets face to face at the airport and continues their relationship in-person.

Eg. Eva leaves after Laura points out how Jim's anonymity makes it easier for William and Eva to drive Jim to kill himself, showing how when Laura takes away this anonymity of Jim for Eva, Eva is much more uncomfortable with her actions. Laura says, "Because you can’t see him, it’s easier. It’s easier when you don’t have to see a dead boy and just imagine it like you read it in a book or something. It’s easier than murder, isn’t it, William, ’cause Jim’s faceless to you… but it’s just like murder" (258).
Because of the anonymity in the Chatroom, Laura feels comfortable opening up to Jim about her own attempt with suicide, as she tries to connect with him. She says, "And if you need to know, you dick, I have tried to kill myself! I did slit my wrists. It did come from a very real place! But I’m happy I’m alive" (258).

When Jim opens up and shares his struggle and suicidal thoughts, he gets pressured by these other strangers to go through with it instead of finding help.

The other moment is when they all start questioning each other about if they're being honest about their identity.

# data[].attributes.body
Eg. when Eva and William are convincing and encouraging Jim to commit suicide; it demonstrates a moment where the online forum heightens people's emotions or causes them to do/say things they one that would not if they were face-to-face. Likewise, when everyone teams up to bully Emily for her "suburban princess" identity, everyone is quicker to pick a side and join in because of the immediacy and anonymity inherent in their conversation. On the other end, near the beginning of the play, we see how the chatroom made for people to just "listen" to other's problems helps Jim start to work through his issues.

Gray's BlackCatfishMusketeer is optimistic in its portrayal of social media's potential to serve as a platform for developing intimate relationships despite the physical distance between individuals.

Although Chatroom demonstrates the harmful results from the anonymity of the internet, it also illustrates the potential connection that results from shared vulnerability.

# data[].attributes.body
Although the anonymity the internet provides gives people the space to create an identity of their choosing, these choices can be both positive and negative.

# data[].attributes.body
Chatroom's depiction of a group of teens in a suicide discussion room articulates how online forums create an anonymous, depersonalized space that allows for both a shared intimacy and source of connection as well as a potential for extreme harassment and bullying.

# data[].attributes.body
While Chatroom captures the atmosphere of the online world of teenagers, it takes a superficial approach in addressing the topics of suicide and depression.

Define your argument in a thesis statement.

Eg. Capek's R.U.R illustrates that despite the radical, transformative potential of emerging technology, often it still sustains hegemonic gender structures.

Blackcatfishmusketeer explores the realm of online dating and the potential for human connection through the internet. However, it also illustrates the risks of encountering false personas online and the potential for social media to be misleading and illusory.

Through a group of adolescents, Chatroom explores the vulnerability that results from the anonymity of the internet and its potentially positive and negative results.

# data[].attributes.body
Chatroom explores how when left untamed, the internet has the power to foster environments where, as a result of anonymity, bad behavior is not always regulated. However, the internet can also hinder ones ability to interact with others

# data[].attributes.body
Chatroom uses the setting of an internet chatroom to explore how anonymity depersonalizes human interaction and pushes people to their extremes. There is both a potential for connection but also a potential for harm, and the relationships built and emotional impacts are wholly unique to the online sphere.

# data[].attributes.body
Chatroom explores the danger of anonymity online and the consequences of unsupervised adolescent interactions. However, because of the limitation of the chatroom format, the play presents a generalized depiction of mental illness as a "fixable" state of being, rather than a disease.

Eg. R.U.R explores man's power to ironically engineer its own demise via technological advancement. However, despite this advancement, the futuristic society replicates hegemonic gender systems.
