Abstract : I have analysed the time in “Dust”, a short hypertextual story that you can read by clicking here. First of all, I would like to introduce the authoress, Martha Conway, who is a north american writer. In her official web you can find some interesting information about her.
Now let’s talk about the text itself. I have published a brief summary of the plot in order to remark the most important events that take place within the story. Next, the temporal characteristics of the text have been explained here: temporal aspect in “Dust”. Finally, I have published a conclusion about what I think the text wants to tell us.
Moreover, I have include some links of pages in which are published some definitions and explanations about what a hypertext is, because I think that it might be useful if you want to know a bit more about this computer-made texts.

Auto-evaluation: It has been more difficult to work on this second paper than in the first one, as we had to analyse a text instead of just reading and selecting information. It should be fine to get a 7 or so because I consider that I have done a good work, trying to comprehend the text and its meaning as accurately as possible and analysing the temporal issues as well as I have been able to.
