Space

In the hypertext the characters appears in different places where the story takes place. It is a bit difficult speak about these places because the author does not give any description about them, she only mention it. The hypertext is divided in two kind of places; the first one are the important, where the characters are involved in a proper space and the others are just a reference of space that appears in the story.

The story starts in Sara´s house, where she and her husband, Arthur, live together on a messy but happy way. They wonder about if one day they really will change their behaviour. There is not description about the house, only the way they live.

The next space that appears in the story is the mall, where Sara and Rachel spend one Saturday night, it is exactly there, where they have an interesting conversation about prostitution. The description that we found about this place is the large lemonade at the hot dog on a stick stand that Sara bought, anything else about it.

An important space of this story is the computer awards ceremony in a former Fed Ex weighing station. This is because all the characters are together in this place having a dinner and speaking about different things of their lives. Here we have a small description of food; sushi on original flavour Doritos, but nothing about the place.

Finally, appears the last place ; Rachel´s house, where we found that she and Ned were in the process of moving that day and Sara arrived there to help them. There describes that they were carrying boxes of books and board games and chipped coffee tables and adapter cables out to the street. Any description of the Rachel´s house.
