CONCLUSION
It was hard to decide
the hypertext for this paper because of the difficulty of the reading.
Hypertext is based on linked texts which tell stories that happen at the same
time. In 253 the author uses links like any hypertext but his story seems
easier than other to me. Geoff has put links enough to follow the story without
you get lost not like other authors who fill up their hypertexts with a lot of
links that confuse you so much. I think that I have enjoyed this hypertext
because of that easiness.
Ryman manages to do a
simple story but that it makes you think about fate, coincidences and death as
well. All the characters are simple strangers, they just share a place and a
lot of them will manage to lose their lives at the same time. All of this makes
you see that life is made of coincidences and anybody knows how it is going to
end. Today you are concerned about a thing like you don’t like your work or
something like that and then tomorrow you can be died. The thoughts o the
passengers show the common fears of every day, everything they are afraid of
and they seem so insignificant when your life is about to finish.
With this I want to say
that it must not be thought that an uncomplicated story can not be a good one
which makes you reflex because 253 made me think a lot about those questions.
