It looks like literature online not like boring words like most people such as I would think literature to be. It’s like a bunch of icons put together of pictures, words, and phrases. This is a composition in my opinion because literature does not have to be expressed just by using words and sentences. I think it can also be expressed using visuals such as photos. I think this is highly effective and more interesting than just reading words because you can actually see it and get a picture of what is being expressed. I think expressing literature through visuals such as through this electronic literature adds variety to what most people think what literature is. I know I used to think that it was only words and sentences that you would read in books. When I first went to the website, all I saw at first was a table of what seemed to be icons put together. I also noticed the colors and they definitely got my attention. So I looked closer and noticed each one expressed something different, whether it was through a couple words or phrase, or just a picture. It was appealing to the eye and it drew me in. I wanted to see what each little icon was about. I think expressing literature through visuals is a composition that I like because it interests me and through using pictures and just a couple words to express it, it can captivate.

I like what you’re saying about this different composition grabbing our attention. I think this is very much true. In the books we read for our literacy level there are rarely pictures or ones that are that appealing. Although I agree with this I think it takes away from our imagination and the process of painting a picture in our minds when we read a line. With the pictures being given to us, we are not asked or forced to think of it ourselves. I think these types of literatures are more entertaining and appealing to use, but I think traditional books are the way to go when we look at it from the stand point of academics.
