In Chapter 11 of the Bedford book of genres, I instantly thought of how people gives themselves a false identity online. I know this is not necessarily what the BBG is hinting at, but the same techniques are used, surprisingly. No matter if you want to create an identity to your audience or to other people online as someone you are not, you must think carefully of the diction and the techniques you write with. Both of which you cannot simply write as yourself or else you are not convincing anyone of your new character’s “identity.” The purpose at the end of the day is normally to convey a message. Whether you know it or not, even in the online cyber bullying world. If you need to create a false identity the odds are you are not happy as who you are and you are telling the world that. Meanwhile, an author uses different characters identities to convey themes and often motifs.
