OUTLINE OF THE POSSIBLE PATHS

 

Both paths begin with the page “Grounding”. One interesting thing in the structure of the hypertext is that in on point of the text the two paths go to the same page. For example in the page “Tied Up”, “Finally” and “Back at school”, that is the end page. It can be because these pages have an important paper in the hypertext.

On the other hand, under my point of view, there is a scene that is very similar in both paths. Is the scene when Rodrigo (the boyfriend of Allie) come to have dinner with the rest of characters. In both scenes the main character doesn´t feel comfortable with the situation, but the difference is that in one of them she acts like if she had any interest in the Rodrigo´s live. These scenes are “Games” and “Gestures”.

Now, I´m going to introduce an outline showing all the possible readings of the hypertext.

FIRST PATH

GROUNDED -> OUTING -> REASSURANCE I -> WITHOUT A MIRROR -> IF THE SUIT FITS -> A BLAST

-> FULL BLOOM -> SETUP -> OOOHHH -> TIED UP ->GAMES -> CLOSE -> TASTELESS

->FINALLY DISASSOCIATION -> TOOL ->BACK AT SCHOOL.

 

SECOND PATH

GROUNDED -> THE EDWARD-ALBEE TYPE -> REASSURANCE II -> WHAT MONEY CAN BUY

-> I USED TO PLAY PROFESSIONAL BEAH VOLLEYBALL -> DRY -> SANDWHICH -> IT´S WHAT´S INSIDE

->EXPOSED -> TIED UP -> GESTURES -> ESCAPE STORIES -> THE UNIVERSE -> FINALLY

->THE END OF THE BED -> SILENCE ->BACK AT SCHOOL.
