This is the class blog for Multimedia Lit Journal Entries. This course will focus on literature that allows the reader to use multiple senses to understand the text and “interactive” literature that forces the reader to be an active participant.

Personal Effects Journal
I am keenly interested in the book Personal Effects. Before we started to read it I was highly intrigued by the visual elements incorporated into the book. I was instantly fascinated with the visual and realistic clues that the author included with the story. I find that it's incredibly interesting to read a story that could come across as a real life event. I believe that the phone numbers and legitimate voice recordings also add a lot to the tone and the story line of the book. This is unlike anything I have ever read before and I highly enjoy the way that Hutchins draws the reader into the book through visual elements which ultimately help to move the story along. I think that this also really allows the reader to connect to the story and take on a level of familiarity with the characters, creating emotional ties and interest between the reader and the story line.
