Assignment Involving Hypertext Essays:

Due to the many different backgrounds and forums of the assigned readings, we as a group, have encountered different reactions to the readings. For example, in the assigned website “Speak”, the background imagery used takes away from the books contains. The moving image displayed is also very distracting from the contained subject matter. Our assessment of this website leads us to believe that it would be much more informative if the imagery was less distracting. Furthermore, our concluded evidence of the way we read “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” is most interesting. We find ourselves drifting off due to the overwhelming amount of text and the need to focus very intensely to read such article. While reading this particular literary piece, we find ourselves bent close to the computer in attempt to focus more exclusively on the text written. The most interesting article out of all of the options above is “Lies”. The interactive qualities of this particular essay keep the mind active in assessing its subject matter. In theory, the tangible aspect of this specific text keeps one’s attention longer than the other three pieces in question.
