TIME IN THE HYPERTEXT
In this hypertext the time refence is not one of the engines of reading, we don´t know if the author is talking about one day, weekend or a month. We don´t know how long is the history we are reading.
The author only mention moments in the life of the characters, dates like at the beginning of the text: “ Many Saturdays nights” or “Saturday afternoons”.
“Will we someday care about reading at the table? Said arthur” is another reference to say that the author doesn´t put in her work any especific date.We can only deduced that Martha has used sentences like: “One Saturday night” and “One Sunday morning” to put us in some day of the history that tell us about characters.
Reading the end of the hypertext appears one character even without name who appears with “Once upon a time a friend from Sara”, and only in this short history that protagonices Sara and this friend says finally “It was a long day”. This show us that Sara and her friend were together one day and also we could think taht all history occurs more than a day, but we don´t have time refences exactly.
So, beyond the time refences I said before we can see other little references like “ocasionally”, “someday”, “Sometime later” or “Then”.
** Real time :
The real time I employed reading the text were few minutes because the entertainment of the hisroty and the simply and actual language make you like that you are reading.
Each automatically “jumps” to the next one and has a exact time. Altogether are 8 minutes. Here we have the time of each link in this hypertext:
