"Not
to follow in
the footsteps of the masters, but to seek what they sought."
--Japanese poet, Basho (qtd. in Ulmer)
This is a Web site created with
hyperlinks
so that the
reader
will be taken on a journey akin to a "Choose Your Own Path" book made
famous in the '90s. It is called a mystory and is a modern-day
replacement of using tattoos
or constellations to tell a story. I began this as an assignment in a
class called Rhetoric:
Computers and Writing
taught by Byron Hawk. We used the text Internet Invention
by Gregory L.
Ulmer to guide the class in a mystory project, or more
simply put, a hypertext project. These are some scholars who have a lot
to say about Ulmer: Edbauer,
Dickson,
and Kearney.
Ulmer says that four main quadrants
influence who we are: Career, Family, Entertainment, and
Community.
