E-Lit in Week 4: Revenge and Herself

This week in class, two pieces of electronic literature that caught my attention were Mr. Plimpton's Revenge and Pieces of Herself.  Mr. Plimpton's Revenge caught my eye simply because it was a story told entirely on Google Maps.  I thought this story and the concept were interesting because I have never seen anything like it before.  It made me realize that people can use almost anything technological and manipulate it into almost anything they want.  Personally, I think that Google Maps stories are more intriguing because the reader is able to grasp an accurate image of a specific location within the story.                                                                                              
Pieces of Herself was another story that caught my eye mainly because of how different it really was to most of the other electronic literature pieces I have seen.  The story has interactive scenes in which the reader takes objects on the screen and drags them to a silhouette to let the story unfold.  I found it interesting how each piece in the story came with it's own "thing" whether it be a woman being interviewed or a passage from something else.  These two stories stuck out to me the most because they were different from the rest of the electronic literature pieces that I have seen and interacted with previously.
