This assignment is the first experience that I have had with a hypertext. I had no idea what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised. I found Same Day Test both griping and unnerving. On first reading, I rushed through the pages, impatiently pursing the results of the HIV test. I felt the uncertainity of Tom's situation and felt as though I was the one awaiting test results. The first time through I chose what I would do if I were Tom, (skipping work and drinking), because I couldn't imagine how anyone could go to work with the prospect of HIV/Aids hanging over one's head. When I got to the final page I rushed through the paper to find the results as quickly as possible, and was relieved to read the word "negative." I then proceeded to go through as many alternate routes as possible to see if a "positive" ending existed. I had no idea how tense and dramatic a digital text could be, but it does make sense. In Same Day Test the reader cannot flip to the last page of the book and know the outcome, something that in a story such as this one would make reading it completely pointless. In The Lucky Ones if one were to go to the final chapter there would be a conclusion, but it probably wouldn't make very much sense. I am becoming very interested in the process that goes into creating these type of texts, and the creator's reasoning behind presenting them different ways.
