Title of the paper: Analysis of time in "Forward Anywhere"

Authors: Cathy Marshall and Judy Malloy(1941- )


Abstract :

  In my second paper, I have decided to work on "Forward Anywhere" written by Cathy Marshall and Judy Malloy because is a very interesting hypertext. It shows a realistic dimension of life that is revealed during a series of events. I will begin my paper with a short introduction in which I will present my reasons for choosing this hypertext. In order to understand a bit the notion of hypertext, I will make a short intrusion into the world of hypertext fiction, giving its definition, a bit of history and the most representative authors of this genre. Also, in order to understand the text, it is necessary to explore a bit the life of Cathy Marshall and of Judy Malloy. I will present a plot overview in order to explain better the text and its characters and the time line which is ambiguous and demonstrates the innovative character of the text. I will end my paper with some personal conclusions about the text and the impressions I've been left with after analyzing the text, along with the bibliography that I've used.

  I think this project helped me to develop my abilities of analyzing a text, "dissecting" each aspect and forming a clear opinion about each aspect I have analyzed in this paper.


Auto-evaluation:

I think I deserve 8 because the text I have analyzed was very complicated and deserved a lot of attention, concentration and hard work.
