Hypertext Fiction
[ send me this essay ]
A 13 page paper discussing how “real” hypertext fiction is. A common complaint of hypertext fiction is that it permits – even encourages – writers merely to get by with “good enough,” that it does not force authors to write well in terms of conveying ideas that build upon one another to culminate in a conclusion. The purpose here is to find that middle ground in complaints that hypertext allows writers to impart less quality to their work than would be possible in traditional text. The paper concludes that hypertext gives no license for poor writing. Bibliography lists 16 sources.

I Heard the Owl Call My Name
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that analyzes Margaret Craven's I Heard the Owl Call My Name (1973). This story concerns a young priest, Mark Brian, whom the reader learns immediately has a terminal disease that will kill him within three years. This information is kept from Mark by his Bishop who sends him to his hardest parish, a New Zealand Indian village, so that the young man may learn as much as possible in the short time remaining to him. As this indicates, the story is set up as a hero's journey that presents Mark involved in a quest for self-knowledge and growth. Examination of Craven's novel shows that the author emphasizes this underlying purpose by structuring Mark's story as if it were, itself, a native legend. No additional sources cited.
