Blog #2

The Jew's Daughter was very confusing to me. I was trying to understand the full story however, every time  I hovered the mouse over the blue letter the texts would change. Honestly, I did not like it at all. I became too confused and frustrated.

The little Red Riding Hood story was interesting. When I first opened the link her eyes were the first objects I noticed appearing from the blood red background. As the girl's face appeared, I began to get frightened; her facial expression reminded me of the daughter in the Adams family. The story was very short yet entertaining. I enjoyed choosing what would happen to Red.

A Rough Draft Outline:

-A woman who has her whole life ahead of her, is a stripper.
-The story will sort of have the set up of the story Little Red Riding Hood.
-The reader will have to decided which road the stripper should take.
-There will be moments where she will have the chance to walk away from her life as a stripper etc.

Blog Assignment #1

As soon as I clicked on the link to "Twelve Blue" by Michael Joyce, I could automatically see that this reading would be one that I was not used to. Once I hit that "begin" button, I knew I was in for a bit of a ride.

Even though the whole set-up was different from what I am used to, my patience was very short. As soon as I was on the page with the lines and the numbers on the bottom I clicked on my favorite number. However, as I started to read the story, I began to unfold and sort of let go of my impatience.

Overall, I enjoyed reading Joyce's work. Not only was it new to me personally but also I learned that there are other ways in which to write electronically. I feel for the creator of the work; I can tell by the way that the cite is set up it was not time consuming for the reader but also the creator of the artistic background.
