Journal Entry #5

I was able to make several inferences when I read the text and hyperlink versions of Sloans story. The text version wasn't as descriptive as the hyperlink but it allows the reader to paint their own picture. In the text version she kept jumping back and forth in the text to the point where nothing made sense unless you reread and reanalyzed every point. The links in the Hypertext helped me focus on what was going on in the story and didn't seem to interfere in the reading experience. Overall I believe that the hyperlink was able to convey the storys' message better with its use of imagery and descriptive dictation.
