INTRODUCTION

 

An hypertext is defined by Nancy Kaplan as “multiple structurations within a textual domain…such documents consist of chunks of textual material (words, video clips, sound sequements or the like) and sets of connections leading form one chunk or node to other chunk. The resulting structures offer readers multiple trajectories through the textual domain…[1].

 

For this reason, is difficult understand the hypertext in the first reading so you need read and re-read the hypertext as many times as you need.

Martha Conway is the author of the hypertext that I chose for my work. The name of her hypertext is Everything After That because the novel has an interesting title that attracted attention to myself.

 

My work will focus on the analyses of the aspects space and time. In the aspect of space I will describe all the spaces or places in where the actions are developed. And in the aspect of time I will try to trace a chronological line of the actions. But before my analyses and after read so many times the hypertext I summarized the plot to understand better the argument of the hypertext. At the same time I tried to describe the characters of the story as the main character, Anthony, did in the novel.
