Marie-Laure Ryan explanation of textual media is very hard to follow because it is there are many variations and forms to textual media. There are lots of new terms, definitions and criterias to keep track off. I am impressed by the mapping of the different story outcome and paths one can take in a narrative with several decisions and multiple endings offer to the readers. The some of the illustrations hep with understanding of her explanation of the different path but some are still confusing even with illustration. The Vector with Side Branches and the Maze type of paths are easier to understand because they are more straightforward, but all the rest of the paths have lots of variations that make it hard to see how the narration will unfold. I need reread the article and ponder more on the reading.
