Hypertext Writing
- Hypertext is writing on the web that
incorporates the use of hyperlinks.
- Hypertext is read differently by each reader,
and therefore each hypertext document
continues to change. The reader is as much a
part of the writing as the writer in making
meaning.
- While we read most book text or papertext
from top to bottom, left to right, front to back,
we don't necessarily read hypertext in the
same linear way.
PURPOSE OF HYPERTEXT
The hypertext transfer
protocol, abbreviated
HTTP, is a system by which computers talk
to each other across the World Wide Web.
It's used by computers and smart phones to
ask web servers to send the contents of
websites and to submit data through online
forms.

Intertext Writing
Intertextuality isthe shaping of a
text's meaning by another text.
It is the interconnection between
similar or related works of literature
that reflect and influence an
audience's interpretation of the text.
Intertextual figures include: allusion,
quotation, calque, plagiarism,
translation, pastiche and parody.
PURPOSE OF INTERTEXT
It is important stage in
understanding a piece of literature,
as it is necessary to see how other
works have influenced the author
and how different texts are
employed in the piece to convey
certain meanings.
