The sound track that accompany each page definitely enhance the experience. The sound provide a eerie atmosphere in turn effect the readers’ interpretation of the written text. On the other hand, whereas the sound provided more substance to the narrative, the interactive graphics mainly distract from the narration, or at least complicated the narration further by causing confusion. The most powerful graphic representation in Bomar Gene is about the character who can see four numbers of dead people. The changing numbers as the mouse move over each gravestone is truly creepy.

Lexia Perplexia is not written as a story narrative form, it does not have characters or plot, but simply facts about lexia. Two of the symbols present in Lexia Perplexia are the eye and the computer panel. The reason for this is because some of the sections of lexia show the connection that the readers have in perceiving the lexia on the screen. <\/p>\n
