Chelsea's questions

When Jackson compares hypertext to a moving vehicle does she mean it can easily be changed unlike a book which is "in search of a place of rest?"

I think that Jackson is trying to say that a hypertext can easily be changed and that a book can't. I think that a moving vehicle means it can change because when you are driving it is easy to change where you want to go and you can turn around or change your direction very easily. I think that a book is "in search of a place to rest" because once it is printed you can't do anything with it. That particular book will always be the same and it will never be able to change. Once it is printed all it can do is find a place to settle down and sit there.
