Memes

week fives material

I found the use of the poem to create a landscape in “That Sweet Old Etcetera” by Clifford to be very interesting. He used the poem to create this landscape in a certain order that you had to do it chronologically. For him to use the poems words to create the landscape itself is interesting and that he use how the poem was originally wrote within the story line. I found “The Silent History” to be interesting because of the fact that you can interact with it more than the normal e-lit story. Not only do you interact on an electronic device but you also interact with it in real life because of how they set up the location based stories. The fact that it’s not only from one view point but from multiple view point to create a multiply side of the story and for you to have different viewpoints of the story. The only thing about this I did not like is the fact of the limitation of access to it being that it’s only available to apple users and not for everyone.

week four materials

The article from this week that I found interesting were “88 Constellations” by David Clark, “Index for X and the Origin of Fires” by Ander Monson, and “Pieces of Herself” by Davis. They struck my interest because of the way the authors created and how they presented their work within them. In “88 constellations” David tell his stories through the constellations of the stars at night and uses them to create an image before to listen and view the story. Ander Monson got creative in “Index for X and the Origin of Fires” because he tell his story using alphabetical order so you can keep track of how far you are within the story and to tell you that there is a definite end to the story. “Pieces of Herself” caught my attention Because of how you navigate the story. It seems plan but Davis uses this so when you come across certain areas colors show up to indicate that you can use these things to decorate or create the image of the person on the right. Davis also use certain points that play music throughout the story. These are the article that I thought were interesting this week and what I thought about them.

What is Digital literature???

Digital literature or electronic literature is not like normal literature where you read paper pages from cover to cover. Electronic literature is of a digital format where the piece is available for anyone anywhere to view at any time instead of having the confined of business hours and time for them to get there.

            Digital literature is the next step for literature because this will allow it to grow beyond what normal paper books cannot do. In electronic literature the author can embed hyperlinks to other text to either expand on what they are talking about or explain what the meaning they are trying to get you to understand in their book. Electronic literature is growing and expanding already as some book only come in the electronic format and that some schools are already in the process of having all book be electronic for students. With this advancement in literature students no longer have to carry the heavy text books around to every class all day. The only thing necessary is a tablet or a laptop for student to be able to do all the school work that use to take up a backpack and weight 20 pounds. With the advancement in literature there is not telling what is not possible for the expansion in the field.
