If I could not remove Roderick and Madeline from the house, I would go into the crypt and take Madeline out of the tomb. This would hopefully prevent her from dying, and Roderick dying from grief. If none of these options worked I would use my last resort and lock Roderick in his rooms so Madeline could not get to him. Basically, I would try my hardest to keep both Madeline and Roderick Usher alive.

Altering Poe's Story
If I was a participant in The House of Usher, I would try to stop Roderick from putting Madeline into the tomb. I would try to explain to Roderick that Madeline is not really dead and he should let her stay in her room. But before Madeline goes into her coma, I would have tried to get her to leave the house and try to get Roderick to leave the house. Because if both people were removed from the house then possibly Roderick, Madeline, and the house would be saved.

Second Life: Prolbem with Communication Technology?
Second Life is a place where anyone can do or be anything they want to. Although SL provides all of its users with the ability to do or create anything they want, within SL rules, the virtual world does not have the capability to be a common technology for communicating at the moment but it has the potential to.
Today, almost every teenager has a Facebook, there are more than 300 million users. Because of Facebook's prominence in society and culture it is has become a main form of communication for many people. Since Second Life does not have as many users and is not widely used in today's society or culture it has not reached its highest capability for communication.
Although there are groups and business in Second Life they are usually confined to the virtual world. And during my time in SL I have found that many of the residents do not communicate with their friends in Second Life outside of the world. I believe this because I do not communicate with any of my SL friends outside of the world and I do not want to be contacted by them outside of SL. Also, Second Life could be used as a tool to "escape" from ones real life so would they want people from SL contacting them in the outside world?
Thus from my personal experiences and knowledge about Second Life and other forms of online communication I believe that SL is not a common form of communication. However, I believe that in time SL might evolve into a technology that many people in society use for communication purposes.
