Question

In the age of social media, do you believe that we are presenting an "unreliable narrator" version of ourselves for the world to see? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Answer:

I would agree that in the modern age of social media we create an "unreliable narrator" for our lives. While in most literature, unreliable narrators do not actually understand what is happening or do not have the mental capacity to tell the story correctly, many people on social media do. Still, on social media people can be anyone they want, and everyone has insecurities. So, those on social media use it as an excuse to lie about themselves and their lives. Even though many will believe this is harmless, it is still untrue and provides incorrect information about their lives. Therefore, it must be said that people become their own unreliable narrator on social media.
