1. why do you think of yourself as multiple people?
2. why does each section need its own title
3. if the human body is made of piece stitched together, and those piece can't be considered human, what are they then to you?
4. when you say "to interrupt, unhinge, disable the processes by which the mind, glorying in its own firm grip on what it wishes to include in reality, gradually shuts out more and more of it, and substitutes an effigy for that complicated machine for inclusion and effusion that is the self." do you mean that people need to let go of their narrow minded and maybe even jaded views of the world?
5. what do you mean that hyper text doesn't know where it is going
6. what do you mean by "Hypertext is schizophrenic: you can't tell what's the original and what's the reference."
after reading stitch bitch i can honestly say i am the most confused i have ever been in my life. i feel that i know just about as much as i did about this reading as when i started it. the entire thing was riddled with two many metaphors. i am now going to do something i never do, use a metaphor to further state my point. now this metaphor is inspired by what i was just doing before i started this post, messing with the mob wars application on facebook. now the use of metaphors in stitch bitch was like bullet wounds in a guy who pissed off the mob. they were everywhere, now a man could survive a bullet wound if it doesn't hit any fatal organs. But after reading stitch bitch i would have to say that the guy was shot early and often and it ocassionally hit a major organ, and yes i thought it was that painful to read. another thing that really annoyed me in stitch bitch that really annoyed me was the fact that every section had its own title. i mean really, does every section need to be titled, i understand that you want to make it clear that there is a different section but, if the entire thing is going to be read don't you think that the reader would be intelligent enough to notice the change in subject. although after reading it i find it hard to even find any clear pattern of thought in this work, maybe a point is made in the first couple of sentences, but then it goes on to the point where i would have stopped reading if i didn't have to do an assignment on it. now when it comes to hypertexts, i agree that they can be used as an easy way to comine texts to influence a reader. but that text needs to be put together in a way in which the reader is captivated to keep reading and not bored to death and left wondering why that many metaphors were needed!
