CONCLUSION

 

Nowadays many people believe that computers have only one purpose which is to buy, consume via e-bay, and so on.
But that is only one of many options. The fact is that the major part of these people don´t like reading on the PC´s screen because they prefer read on the bus, in bed, etc.

 

It is true that there are books that somewhat resemble hypertexts because when you read them you can choice one-way or another to follow up the reading, but it results a bit problematic. Book up and down. To do so directly read hypertext in a computer, which is much easier to click on the keywords you want to, and automatically you can continue.

 

Hypertexts are other form to understand literature but it is literature too. At the same time that there are horrible printed books there are terrible hypertexts (too long or just incomprehensible)

 

Two readers could navigate through the story in different ways, selecting different characters or events as important as they want to, and get two different perceptions of the same basic events, each of which feels like a complete story.

In this case, the author uses the hypertext medium in a more limited form. It is easy to move from one webpage to the next that fact is far from the disorientation which is present in the majority of hypertexts we've studied in class.

Sorrell´s story has a linear plot, the links from the main page lead only to pages that describe past actions to know the different points of view of the characters. That´s why the statement "choose your own adventure" related with hypertexts is limited in "The Heist”.

Speaking about the content, we can say that the main plot of the book is very interesting as I said before, and the mix of dreams, memories and true story give emotion to the book.

 

 

Finally, I only have to say that it has been the first time I read this kind of literature and I enjoyed it. I recommend reading hypertexts, especially for those who have an unconditional love for the printed books because they can discover another option and open their minds.
