Fairy Tales

I enjoyed reading Fairy Tales by Hans Christian Andersen because I liked how interactive it was. It forced you to make decisions based upon your own opinion and personality. I also liked how his choices were quite different and odd. He really made you think about which path you wanted to choose. It was a very interesting hypertext. I must say it did get a bit tedious and annoying at times but I feel like that is what he wanted us to feel. Overall, I thought it was a very interesting idea that really engaged the reader.

I think it's really interesting how Paige pointed out that your personality altered the fairy tale story. I think it's very true, and it makes the story you are reading much more personal. You almost become part of the story because you can interact with the hypertext.

I see both Paige and Sarah's point, however I disagree. I do not like being part of the story and I do not like having the power to determine where the story will go.

Each student will be required to make one comment per week about the discussion. Each comment should be at least a short paragraph in length (3-5 sentences). Comments can be responses to discussions already underway on the blog or in class. I will judge comments based on the insightfulness of the commentary and the tendency to provoke further discussion; they fall under the participation portion of the grade. Students must remember to be respectful of other people’s ideas, even if they do not agree with them. As the blog administrator, I will eliminate any posting that I deem inappropriate.
