Here I will talk briefly about the characters of the hypertext explaining a bit the relations between them, they paper in the novel and some descriptions of them.


Fisrts of all, we have the protagonist, Jenny Clark. Jenny is a young girl, which age is not especified, who works for the Broadthrow's family as a babysiter of their younger daugther, Caroline. Jenny is the narrator of the novel. She had a boyfriend called David. It does not say he was her boyfriend but we can deduce it by the context. It seems they had splited up reciently. David has a small calico cat called Sally.

Broadthorw's family is composed by Tom Broadthrow, who is the head of the family. He is a bussines man, the president of  BroadthrowMicro. He has a slight build, sandy hair and a pleasant smile. He is married with Louise. Louise is a very good looking woman, and seem quite an ellegant and styleish person. She has a perfectly waved blond hair, deep glance from her brown eyes like an unexpected thaw in early spring exposing bare but promising earth. Tom and Louise have two children, Caroline and Mark. Caroline, the little one, owns a female cat called Puffy, who every time she can, lickes the food at the party. Mark, the brother of Caroline, is sixteen. Janny does not tell much more about him. Broadthrow's are a very rich fammily, they own three houses, one in Woodside, half an hours commute to BroadthrowMicro; one in Massachusetts, near Broadthrow headquarters; and "The Cottage" in New Hampshire, near BroadVentures. They also have two Mercedes. The predecessor of Jenny was called Leslie, but she went unexpectedly to Mexico with the lifeguard at the lake.

Jenny also talks about his family. The most important character of his family is Roger Clark, but she call him Uncle Roger becouse is the brother of his father. He is short and  plump. Is vicepresident of a brockerage firm, Clark & Clark. He’s a semiconductor industry analyist. Is married with Sally, the aunt of Jenny, but she does not say much about her. Grandy is the granfather of Jenny, and he is the other Clark of Clark & Clark. He speaks Latin fluently and remember things about Greek and Persian wars. Jenny also mention his brother, but he only appeared when she is talking about a past dream.

Related to the Broadthrow's bussines, we have Jack and Jane. Tom joined Jack to manage BroadthrowMicro. Jack is from texas and he looks like Elvis Presley might had looked if he had played a lot of football and worn Brooks Brothers shirts. He also has a new home in Sunnyvale. Jane is his wife. It does not say they are married but we can deduce it. She is from Massachusetts, has long brown hair, brown eyes, round glasses, and a calm, pleasant face. She met Jack while she was working in a lab on route 128 in boston and they fell in love. Jenny also talk about Mark's english teacher, Mrs Gorgel. he is blond with green eyes, short straked hair in an elfin cut, wearing a gold skirt with turquoise images of dancers in a style of the fifties and shiny pink plastic shoes. Other important characters of the enviroment of BroadthrowMicro are Dorrie and Rose. Dorrie is Jack's rigth hand at BroadthrowMicro.She was tall, at least 6 feet, squeezed into tight jeans and a yellow fringed cowboy shirt with pearl buttons. Rose is Jack's secretary. Dorrie thinks that Rose is a bitch, and tries to have something with Jack. It seems like this becouse Rose is always looking at Jack eyes and talking to him. The last person mentioned with relation to BroadthrowMicro is Mr Draper, Tom's lawyer.

Then we have Jeff Gallagher. Jenny have fall in love with Jeff, or at least, she is always dreaming with him. All the dreams she have with Jeff are a bit "erotic". Jeff is a bussinesman, but he is not very good. He designed a chip, but Tom stole his chip and his project. He is about 6’,2”, brown hair, boyish smile, wearing a sort of glow about his head. He had stray gray hairs in his thick brown hair and big sloping shoulders and brown eyes. He had been born in San Jose, where his father owned a gas station, and had lived there all his life, Jane thinks he is a nice, solid guy.
