About Me

Hello Again everyone! Today I played an interactive fiction game called Colossal Cave. It reminded me of all the old, choose your own adventure books, I use to read when I was younger. It was a hypertext game, that let you read the story while you input commands, to give your character choices to follow. I admit I had some trouble at first to find out the right commands to use. I personally feel this is a good way to tell a story. Like this and the many narratives, we have read so far, is engaging to certain audiences. According to The New Digital Storytelling. " Unlike a novel, we have no single, linear direction to follow. Instead, reading a hypertext is something like a hybrid of exploring a space" He talks about how we are the authors. We get to make an impact on the narrative. This type of storytelling is different because, in a way, we get to experience the narrative as if we were a part of it.

Hello again everyone! I listened to my reviewers and wanted to say I added quotation marks to make it easier for my bloggers to read my quotes and fix some grammatical errors.

They both tell their own point of views in the narratives. The sick land uses a direct narrative. Our hero Alex Case writes a journal that’s is completely honest...

Hello Everybody!!! It is another exciting week of Blogging! I dunno what it is? me personally I like many other people, enjoy stories where situations slowly get bad to worse (kinda like a zombie apocalypse theme like feeling.) I have decided that I still have diaries on my mind. This week's Literary Feature I have Chosen is TONE  the slow continuing of hopelessness and dread. I have been playing Fallout 4 recently,  I have liked the diaries in the video game and the blog The Sick Land have some similarities. I like the theme how everything is bright at the beginning and everything slowly turns to despair. Quoting the Author of The new Digital Storytelling Bryan Alexander pg 49 paragraph 3 ( The Sick Land builds up through escalating violence into something approaching cosmic horror..... The tale proceeds chronologically, without any asynchronous foreshadowing or editing or earlier posts. It begins on a note of hope and positive anticipati...
