My discussion of hypermedia poetry and the way it affects the creator and beholder of it has been composed in a very similar manner as that of Strickland’s Ballad. Although this rhetorical analysis project is represented through the form of a blog, it also has many shared traits with the online poem. Not only is it an “online paper”—it’s also divided up in a fragmentary fashion and can be read in any order. The blog at the very bottom of the page can serve as a conclusion or an introduction, depending on how the audience prefers to perceive it. Additionally, each paragraph is loaded with color codes, font deviations, images, and screen shots. All these aspects aren’t typically seen in the form of a scholarly paper. My analysis itself is a mere reflection of that which it analyzes.
