Blog assignment #1

Describe some of the strategies you used to "read" Twelve Blue. Indicate what you did + what you hoped to achieve - and what you got out of doing whatever you did.

The first time I read through Twelve Blue I clicked on the hyperlinks that led to new pages until there were no more links to follow. I hoped this would create a cohesive narrative and that it would expose me to all the pieces of the work. I was wrong. The second time I read through it I clicked on the lines to the left of the screen and read through each page one  by one. As I read each piece I was not sure if they were connected, if I was supposed to make the connections or if attempting to connect them was not even supposed to be part of going through it.
