Henry Adams-Harvard College Storify

Creating the story above required the use of two different social media outlets, Twitter and Storify. Having used Twitter before for personal use I was familiar with the process of “tweeting”, Storify on the other hand was a new art form I’d never tried before. Looking at the completed story now it dawns on me that I’ve seen many of these pages online before. My story pulls different quotes from The Education of Henry Adams, chapter 4 titled Harvard College. The subheadings draw on some of the main themes of the chapter and the short tweets condense the points even more so as twitter limits the user to 140 characters. This display of a summary gives a unique perspective of the chapter and could prove to be a useful tool in moving a conventional paperback book into the modern world.
