A) The essay needs to have an Anecdotal introduction, 4 body paragraphs and a conclusion.
B) Anecdotal introduction-please use a story where a friendship was positively affected because of facebook.
C) 4 well developed body paragraphs that describes where my friendships being affected positively. needs to connect to 2-4 stories about friendships that were positively affected by facebook in the 4 body paragraphs. For example:
1) How i reconnected with one of my middle school friends after more than 10 years.
2) How I keep in touch with my best friend who lives in u.k where I’m originally from
3) How I met some one at a party and exchanged facebook requests and later became good friends.

E) Thesis: Though face book can be overwhelming and time consuming at times, it has without a doubt nurtured my friendships.
