This text, like many of the others we have read in class so far, can be very disorienting. The fact that certain links lead to pages that do not seem to match up with the link itself can be frustrating. Also, the fact that there are so many links on each page can be hard to handle. I often found myself debating whether I should finish reading the page or click on the first link I come to. Or if I do finish reading, which link should I click on first, and when I finish reading the next page should I go back and check out the rest of the links on the previous page, or should I look at the links on the current page. This problem does not exist in traditional literature. But will this one day be a common characteristic of literature? Traditional literature is usualy very linear, but perhaps this is just another example of how this story more closely resembles folklore. The disorientation caused by the conversational like construction of this text goes back to the spoken folktale. The theme could even be related to young lesbians coming of age, which could be considered a folkgroup in itself
