1 CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE: CEO (P.250-251)
Mark is probably at the Facebook office as he receives a phone
call, maybe from the corporate lawyers or maybe from Sean. The
time isnt sure, but it can still be in the middle of the night or
early morning. According to the phone call, Sean was arrested
while he was at a party, the reasons arent pretty self-assured
anyways. We arent sure whether he will be tried or not, but in
Mark views he has become a danger to Facebook and because of
this he has to leave the company. Facebook has perhaps been a
sort of game to Mark at the very beginning, but now it has
become a real revolution to be destroyed by anyone.

Character development
Mark Zuckerberg: Marks character hasnt substantially changed
during the story. He has mantained some main features such as
determination and his hard-working attitude. However he has
changed for what concerns women, money and attention, now he
cares more about these three points. Morover Mark receives a lot
of attention during the story, and that really helps him with his
self-confidence.

Atmosphere: the atmosphere in this chapter is quite uncertain

and tense.

Quotations: Mark wouldnt let anything,or anyone, stand in

the way of Facebook. (p.253 l.15)

2 CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR: MAY 2008 (P.252-253)

The last chapter is about Eduardo who is in a club but he cant
remeber nor the name of it nor how hes arrived there. He just
remembers that a cab, two friends from college and a girl are
involved in it. He is lying on a bright blue leather bench and feels
alone and a bit drunk. Everything around him is blurred but not
just because of alchool. During the last three week he has been
working on different projects involving health care and social
networks and he has been sleeping everyday not before four
oclock in the morning. While lying on the banquette he suddenly
recognises a kid in the club, its one of the Winklevoss twins. So
he stands up, walks up to him and asks him sorry, then he turns
around and goes away.

Character development
Eduardo Saverin: he feels drunk, tired and somehow confused.
Eduardo has the feeling that something between him and Mark is
going to happen.

Atmosphere: the atmosphere is imprecise and chaotic.

Quotations: He was alone, and he was drunk but really not

that drunk (p. 252 l.17) He hadnt really slept in weeks. He
leaned back against the banquette, stared into that Scotch glass
when a sudden memory flashed across his thoughts. (p.252 l.3032) Im sorry, He screwed me like he screwed you guys. (p.253
l.28).
