My Stitch Bitch Questions...

1. What is a hypertext?

2. As a standard in society, readers have become accustomed to literature that is organized in a sequential manner. Would this type of writing be accepted in society?

3. How many people decided to neglect reading the rest of the paper after reading, "Writing hypertext, you've got to accept the possibility your reader will just stop reading. Why not? The choice to go do something else might be the best outcome of a text. Who wants a numb reader/reader-by-numbers anyway?"

4. What intrigued or motivated the author to write in this style and structure?

5. Were the author's intentions to write for a particular audience, or for her own pleasure?

6. Does the author imply that hypertext is bad literature? If so, why does the author create this type of writing and enforce it?

  1. 2. I do agree that readers have become accustomed to literature that is organized in a sequential manner and it has become a standard in society. But even though there is a standard in society I think people would still accept this type of writing in society. People should be willing to try new things and not have everything in life be in a specific sequential manner. Just because it has no sequential manner does not mean it is not worth reading.
