Augmented Text (hypertext annotation)

Construct a short hypertext (at least 5 screens, with about 10 links) annotating a short text (500 words -- about a page).

You can find Public Domain and open source texts at

• Project Gutenberg
• The Internet Archive's Text Archive
• The Online Books Page at The University of Pennsylvania

An annotation consists of links to definitions, examples, personal reflections, and external sites. Do not simply link to Dictionary.com or an online encyclopedia; the definitions and examples should be your own.
