The piece Deviant really caught me off guard at first, because of the way it was set up. I couldn’t figure out what I was supposed to do in the beginning until I finally realized that I was to go through the story by clicking on certain sections of the whole scene. Once the story started I was really confused at to what was exactly being told, I only knew what the backstory told me. As I went farther into the story, I was still slightly confused; it started to get more and more intense. Certain images actually started to frighten me due to the intensity and the darkness of the story. Depending on the scene that was interacted with, there were certain goals, I would say, that had to be done per scene. So many scenes had to do with images being clicked on so that other images or scenes would pop up into view. Many items did not even have a story, but were moving images that showed the story to the reader, which was very interesting. Deviant was slightly spooky, but a very interesting piece, I must say, so it was worth the interaction. Also the fact that the piece took on two perspectives at once was interesting, because one perspective was in the eyes and mind of Christian, while the other perspective was in the eyes and mind of those who witnessed the story. At the end when the entire piece was typed out to be read, which made everything much more clearer, but kept the mystery as well. The back-story was just as invigorating as the interactive story was just from the content. Although, I was kept on my toes the entire time even while reading the ending, and I loved the piece myself.
Public Secrets was a very interesting piece. The piece was definitely an interactive piece, because in order to view the stories they had to found and clicked. Some had audio clips while other had to be manually read. It was a pretty easy piece to navigate through, which in my eyes, kept me a bit more focused. I really enjoyed hearing the stories from the point of view form multiple women imprisoned. This piece of electronic literature really caught my attention. It is something you don’t hear of everyday. You do not get to hear the stories of what actually goes on behind prison doors. The stories were so detailed and you could tell that they came from personal experiences which pulled at the heartstrings even more. I believe I learned a lot about prison life. It can be a very brutal place to live. The things that go on inside and outside an prison can really change person for either better or for worse. It really gives me a different outlook on life, and definitely makes me want to stay away from breaking the law. I liked how you actually heard the voices of the women. It was much better than just reading text the whole time. Public Secrets really had my attention until the end and kept me wanting more.
I believe digital humanities is how people use and interact with digitalized material. It's how people use digital technology to its best capabilities to learn and do research. I believe digital humanities utilizes all technology like; computers, smartphones, social media, etc. to teach and learn all the ways history and arts can be used. In the digitalized world it is much easier to access information therefore people can learn quicker and share information much quicker. Also, digital humanities is a study of how digital technologies influence and change our lives on a day to day basis.

Digital Humanities is the study of the aspects of the internet, it’s tools, and the objects within its boundaries, but also the study of human culture. The ‘Digital’ part refers to the computerized perspective like computers, smartphones, laptops, tablets etc. as well as applications, social media platforms and multimedia. The ‘Humanities’ part refers to the arts like education, fine arts i.e. music and writing, history, literature, foreign language, sociology and psychology. Digital Humanities is the presentation of human culture on the internet and medias connected to the internet.

The field of digital humanities is not a concrete field with a strict definition like science, but rather it is an open field with many interpretations and dimensions and putting a strict definition on that is next to impossible. Many humanists have different variations and ideas about the following. Digital humanities encompass many different types of humanities and adapt them to a digital format. These include databases, scholarly research, or creating digital art. Digital humanities include many values including but not limited to openness, collaboration, and diversity. These values allow the field of digital humanities to continuously expand and become better understood by everyone. Allowing the ability to open up the digital world to the many different disciplines of humanities allows for instant intelligence collaboration amongst humanists in different locations otherwise not possible. Databases open up the world and give access to books and readings in an instant that otherwise would not be able to be obtained by individuals. With every individual that reads a piece of work comes another opinion on that topic. Digital humanities allow the opinions of normal or emerging faces in the discipline to be heard. The digital humanities realm gives possibilities to things otherwise thought of as impossible.

Digital Humanities is a field of study mixing the various disciplines in traditional Humanities with current technology and computing. It is a continuously broadening definition trying to encompass all the facets within the two fields and more are being added every year. Digital objects are created and enhanced in new ways with the continuously expanding and evolving spectrum of tools offered written in a poetry of code. The process is done under ethical guidelines of openly sharing resources and results in an unrestrained community welcoming everyone to teach or learn.

88 Constellations was another beautiful piece of literature that allowed the reader to explore using the 88 constellations in the sky. Each constellation took the reader to an audio clip that talked about a subject that was connected to the constellation or the constellation's name. Each audio clip was very interesting in the fact that it went into depth about subjects that most people would not talk about. Each constellation had its own unique idea and it drew the reader in from the start. 
Almost Goodbye was like those adventure books that allowed the reader to choose the ending and story line with given choices. In the beginning of the story the reader is given five choices between names on a list. The reader chooses the name and place, to which they then watch the scene unfold with may be another choice within the conversation. The reader chooses how they story ends and they can keep going to see different endings by choosing different options each time. I found it interesting, because the reader had the choices and could choose the story they wanted. 
My Body a Wunderkammer was slightly disturbing in an interesting way. The author took body parts of herself and wrote a story about each one. Each story pertained to the author's discovery of herself and how she came about with her conclusions. Some pieces were very graphic, but others had a sense of innocence that made the reader remember what it was like finding these things about themselves. I felt at times that the author was just a scientist trying to figure out her body on her own, but in a mad scientist type of schema. The story was long, but alluring in the way that the reader wanted to know everything. The reader could also choose any part part to start with and each story had hyperlinks that led to another body part, there were many to choose from throughout.This story is a recommendation in part, because it was so alluring in the first place. The author did a beautiful job on the piece, and it takes a special reader to understand.
