Peter claims that the stitch bitch is hard to understand... maybe we just need to do a little research, so we can figure out how to unravel her. Hypertext, can easily be "dictionary.comed"
hy⋅per⋅text
–noun
a method of storing data through a computer program that allows a user to create and link fields of information at will and to retrieve the data nonsequentially.
WEIRD. Considering I just used hypertext to explain hypertext=) tricky, huh? So that answers Peter's question about what hypertext is. We use hypertext to help explain, or show examples of what we are talking about. Hypertext is only formed using electronic forms of communication. When you have access to more than just your text, a hyper amount of text.
I think you can navigate better through stitch bitch the article, by using each piece to help answer the other pieces. Kind of like, creating a whole... out of it's parts. You have to use Shelley Jackson, to make her explain herself. Each part creates a new idea, each idea contributes to her original theory. It creates a puzzle in a way, that you need to put together piece by piece that together will eventually help you figure out what the bigger picture is.

Brooke, the fact that you can arrange and rearrange this article is completely true. I remember hearing in class that you can read Stitch Bitch in any order and it will work any way. The article in itself shows Shelley Jackson's intended message of Stitch Bitch. Thing are pieced together in various ways to create a whole.
ReplyDeleteTo start, I like how you dictionary.comed the word hypertext because clearly everyone was confused after reading Shelley Jackson's article. It's also very interesting how in researching hypertext, you USED hypertext...It's crazy that we didn't even know we were using this form of reference for so long and it caused us so much confusion! It seems as if we should have known this in the back of our heads from the beginning. But anyways, the article was good at expressing it's point about stringing things together to create something whole and Shelley's article did in fact do so in more than one way (examples in the article and her article as a whole).
