Into the Green Green Mud

Into the Green Green Mud
The story "Into the Green Green Mud" relates back to the theme of this book which is about the relationships: romantic, friends, objects, animals etc. This story fits into these parameters because at the beginning of the story it starts out by showing you two peoples separate lives and how they interact with their surroundings and the people within it. An interesting detail about the story is that it is almost entirely made of thoughts, never real interactions, just the thoughts about the interactions that had previously happened. The main characters are named JJ and Susy and this is an unconventionally written love story between the two, but if you read closely you can see the little details of what makes them fall in love.It is a unique piece of electronic literature because of the way the "pages" are formatted. The words are broken up so that they seem like pieces of a poem or an individual poem with unique designed and moving backgrounds that complement the words and help distinguish who is thinking.
