different web pages in a matter of seconds and minutes. The reader can
navigate around the internet and jump to more information about a topic,
which in turn may have more links that open up the reader to a wider
horizon of information or to a new direction.

audience’s interpretation of the text.
Intertext

EX: character or quoting a line

may copy the setting, plot, characters, or other parts of
the original work.
