public figures chat
The easiest public figures to recognize had to be Paris Hilton and Martin Luther King, Jr. Paris became apparent almost immediately through the language and attitudes Katharine used to portray her. By saying "That's Hot" over and over again, pretty much everyone in our group knew who Katharine was trying to be. She seemed to be bubbly and airheaded, much like the real heiress. The other easily recognized public figure was MLK, Jr. Through the demeanor presented, he seemed to be a peace-loving person. Several references to "the chosen people" and also some of MLK's other famous speeches led me to believe that this person was acting out MLK. Also, he used politically correct terminology thoughout the entire chat. This revealed the proper nature of the character, which is another defining characteristic of Martin Luter King, Jr.
