Which pattern do you think will work best for your hypertext for Project #4? Why?
The cycle pattern (as for now) would fit my hypertext desighn the best. This is due becuse the hypertext will have roughly 10 pages. Most of the other hypertext designs require many pages of hypertext in order to get the full potential of the design. In addition, truthfully I am warry of any internet site that does not have a cycle pattern. Not to have a "home" link to the webpage dosent seem to fit the mold of web pages. I knowI am novice in the subject but I do have experience in browsing and the classic format of the cycle best fits the mold of all text pages.
I do not have my topic in its full idealized form but I will most likely write about politics. The cycle pattern would be best for this subject because most government webpages and political sites incorporate this pattern.

Hypertext Gardens
First, describe your experience of reading Hypertext Gardens, as well as your overall response to the piece. Second, describe what rhetorical choices the author made that you believe encouraged you to have these experiences and responses.
To be honest when I first started to read "Hypertext Gardens" I was a little annoyed. The information was short and blocky. I did not know where I was going to proceed next. The site seemed more like a garden maze (as in the movie the Shinning). The site lacked a overall map of the web pages. Having a map, or at least a button that says home, would have been more benificial. Even most big gardens have maps. With this aside the informatation about how to design webpages was very good. It encouraged me to keep on clicking the links. Also, having the links in diffrent pages helpted me pay attention to the text better. The author's use of pictures helped focus a idea that he was explaining into reality. Using the pictures in turn helped me to visualize what he was talking about. Lastly, having the header hypertext gardens provided continuty in the webpage. I did not feel that I was leaving the site and the diffrent hyperlinks made it interesting to go through the varous webpages.
