Conclusion

This is the first time I work with a hypertext and I have really enjoyed it. It is very interesting the way each author chooses to guide us dynamically through a text and it offers many more reading possibilities than the conventional printed literature.

When I read the text for first time I was surprised because of the relation between plants and a transsexual experience. The hypertext Arbor Erecta deals with a transformation of a woman into a man by ten stages and relating each of the stages with a hermaphrodite plant, the Pandanus tree.

I have tried to compile every sentence where it is said something about the space. The text takes place mainly in New Guinea where the Pandanus tree is indigenous to, and from my point of view there are also secondary places that I have mentioned as hypothesis about where the author wants to situate us through pictures or any other alternatives.

My experience with this hypertext has opened the door to new future experiences with other hypertexts and I have acquired guidelines that I did not know in order to be aware of how the author wants me to read the text.

I firstly find my self a little confused because of the unusual topic of the text but finally I understood it by reading on the website of the protagonist his own experience and now I find it interesting and above all curious the idea of Sonya Rapoport of connecting both subjects, transsexualism and trees.
