CONCLUSION

It has been the first time I have read a Hypertext, and I have to say that, in spite of being so difficult for me, I liked it.

The first time I saw this text I thought it was easy: I thought that it was only to choose a character and that’s all, nothing complicated, but when I started to read it in detail I found that it was more difficult than it seemed. You are reading a character and following the “next” arrows you go to more characters which are related, in some way, with the character that you are reading, and it makes it complicated because I did not found a sense.

After trying to read it following the arrows order, I thought that it was better, and easier, to read first all the characters individually, and I did it. Having done this, it was easier for me to see the connection between characters and to understand the sense of the arrows and the linked words.

When I realize about the difficulty of reading this hypertext, I tried to contact the author by e-mail for clarifying some of my doubts, but I did not receive any response.

Fortunately, I think I was able to read it properly and enjoyed with the reading, because I found this hypertext very funny, apart from a bit surrealistic!

The aspect I dealt with in this paper was the “Time”. It was also difficult for me to mention all the time connectors, but I tried to do my best and I did it following the arrows order, and in this way, is possible to see as well how the characters are interrelated.

I like the possibility of choosing the way you want to follow and if you do not like the end you find, the possibility of reading it again following a different path.

In this paper I show the ways in which I read the text. Maybe, you find another one which is better for understanding its sense, since is a hypertext and not everybody read hypertexts in the same way; this is what it makes this kind of reading different from the printed ones.
