Tools

In this hypertext, I've observed that the tools used by the author are next to nothing. There are no pictures, no music or graphics.

The author presented the text in blue letters, organised in paragraphs or in a dialogue structure. The author also gives the reader a clue of whose view the fragment is going to be told with the colour of the first capital letter, which is much bigger than it should be according to how that letter should be in the normal font size. Depending on the organization of the text, the links which take you to the next piece of text were distributed in a way or another, for example, in this fragment:

Iclobbered him, okay, just because of the way he looked at me. I admit it. He didn’t do anything. Guilty as charged. It’s me. I hauled off and clobbered him for no reason except I didn’t like the way he looked at me. There. Do I get thrown out of school now?

Honey. He’s in the hospital . . .

I had no idea–

He’s still unconscious.

Did I hit him that hard?

You’re an athlete. You bench press 250 pounds. You slapped him across the head with a book.

I grabbed it off his desk. I didn’t even know what I was doing. It was just a book, for God’s sake.

Honey. It was The Riverside Shakespeare.

Still unconscious? Really? Jeeze.

Here each line is a different link, while the first paragraph is link on itself, separated from the last question, another different link. From this fragment we can deduce that the narrator this time is going to be one of the main characters, Charmine. The red capital letter shows the reader that the fragment is going to be told in Charmine's point of view (as we can see from the fragment above), the green one indicates it's going to be the teacher's point of view, professor Blat, as we can appreciate on this fragment:

And the blue one is the other people's point of view:
