Class Padlet by Dylan Grant https://padlet.com/dpgrant94/9nl1niljetej Post your analysis here en-us 2018-02-27 18:20:06 UTC 2018-02-27 22:04:27 UTC hello@padlet.com Mr. Grant's Model Analysis dpgrant94 https://padlet.com/dpgrant94/9nl1niljetej/wish/236097228 Through examining the profile and background photos and bio, it is evident that this Twitter user’s choice of settings are a deliberate decision to mark him as someone who defines himself through popular culture. The profile picture is Batman, in particular from the Robot Chicken DC Special. Batman’s hand is raised, as if he is ready to participate in the last game of the academic decathlon from Billy Madison, which is the background photo.  This sense of meta is reinforced if one knows of the context of Batman in aforementioned special, where he is openly lambasting comic book tropes. Lastly, the bio is a quote from the 1985 anime, Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, and its obscurity is very telling of his character. Without context, this bio can be interpreted as aggressive, and by not providing the source of the reference suggests that he doesn’t mind this observation and is okay with alienating others. Given that all three areas of his profile page are cultural references, with a strong sense of meta, this Twitter user’s character is marked by a desire to be seen as clever, and as someone whose personal identity is constructed primarily through popular culture. ]]> 2018-02-27 19:12:42 UTC https://padlet.com/dpgrant94/9nl1niljetej/wish/236097228 Emily Vaughan https://padlet.com/dpgrant94/9nl1niljetej/wish/236180353 To be honest, analyzing Emily's twitter is kind of hard because her page is so boring. She doesn't tweet often and it appears she hasn't updated her bio or profile picture since 2014. She goes or went to MSU and likes to go to football games as her profile picture is a picture of her and a friend at a tailgate. She seems to not really care about twitter because the last time she was active on twitter was a retweet from December 2017. ]]> 2018-02-27 21:54:10 UTC https://padlet.com/dpgrant94/9nl1niljetej/wish/236180353 Jimmy Fallon's Twitter https://padlet.com/dpgrant94/9nl1niljetej/wish/236180577 Looking at the profile picture and background picture that are consisted of the Twitter user's selfies in the bathroom, Jimmy Fallon seems tfo be confident in showing himself to the public and is familiar to taking selfies. The last photo of this Twitter user's background photo especially shows witty and creative characteristics of the user. In this user's bio, it says "Astrophysicist". Although this user's real job is a TV show host, this bio shows the user's interest in the cosmos, sky, and stars. ]]> 2018-02-27 21:54:52 UTC https://padlet.com/dpgrant94/9nl1niljetej/wish/236180577 Justin's Twitter https://padlet.com/dpgrant94/9nl1niljetej/wish/236181055 Justin is a Troy HS Alum who graduated in 2013. Justin goes to MSU & resides in East Lansing. He's got a cropped head shot as his prof pic where he's smiling, so he might be a happy guy. He loves the Spartans and Education which is noticeable after looking at his profile banner. He actively retweets/tweets about sports, Education, and politics.]]> 2018-02-27 21:56:30 UTC https://padlet.com/dpgrant94/9nl1niljetej/wish/236181055 Kyle Burke's Jaden Smith Analysis https://padlet.com/dpgrant94/9nl1niljetej/wish/236181112 As one can deduct from Jaden Smith's use of his project title/logo (SYRE) for his profile picture, his reflective/melancholy/nostalgic background portrait of himself, and his bio being a link to his album and merch, he is a figure dealing with egoism.]]> 2018-02-27 21:56:44 UTC https://padlet.com/dpgrant94/9nl1niljetej/wish/236181112 Jessie https://padlet.com/dpgrant94/9nl1niljetej/wish/236181161 Jessie is somebody who enjoys the outdoors. She attends MSU as an English Education student, which is evident through her bio. Additionally, she enjoys social situations and hanging out with her friends. Fall is her favorite time of year. The setting does not inform much more about the character, as there is not much there.]]> 2018-02-27 21:56:58 UTC https://padlet.com/dpgrant94/9nl1niljetej/wish/236181161 Catherine https://padlet.com/dpgrant94/9nl1niljetej/wish/236181380 Looking at Catherine's profile, she seems like someone who is might be sarcastic and doesn't like to be taken too seriously. I get that from her where she lists like 8 different names her friends call her by. She also seems to be someone who likes nature given her background is a bunch of mountains. ]]> 2018-02-27 21:57:54 UTC https://padlet.com/dpgrant94/9nl1niljetej/wish/236181380 Lauren https://padlet.com/dpgrant94/9nl1niljetej/wish/236181482 For this assignment I looked at Vanessa Ambrous's twitter the setting of her twitter shows that she cares about animals, that she probably goes to festivals, and that she is an Aquarius.]]> 2018-02-27 21:58:17 UTC https://padlet.com/dpgrant94/9nl1niljetej/wish/236181482 Amanda's Twitter https://padlet.com/dpgrant94/9nl1niljetej/wish/236181740 Based of Amanda's Twitter she has a lot of different and obscure references to pop culture. For example The Oregon Trail and Bo Burnham. Her last retweet was a joke about Legend of Korra. She attends MSU and was born on March 21st. Her Twitter picture shows her smiling with a striped sweater on.]]> 2018-02-27 21:59:05 UTC https://padlet.com/dpgrant94/9nl1niljetej/wish/236181740 Andrea https://padlet.com/dpgrant94/9nl1niljetej/wish/236182102 Andrea is someone who is either unaware that her Twitter still exists or just doesn't take the time to put a profile picture. She has probably been called out for not having a profile photo, but she still doesn't feel the need to put up a photo. Andrea doesn't even have anything written in her bio, so for all we know she could be a spam bot.]]> 2018-02-27 22:00:18 UTC https://padlet.com/dpgrant94/9nl1niljetej/wish/236182102 Rachel https://padlet.com/dpgrant94/9nl1niljetej/wish/236182514  
From Rachel’s twitter, we can tell that she is someone who likes being outdoors.  Her profile picture depicts her being outside and her bio informs us that she works at a camp.  She also is a person who enjoys books and reading.  Her cover photo is a bunch of books (some of which are relatively new so we know that this is a current picture) and she is an English major.  Rachel is not someone who seems to have a very interesting Twitter as most of her tweets are specifically from her classes.
