3. How can a reader better navigate through "Stitch Bitch"?
I think the only way to navigate through this text is to re-read it a few times, because it's definitely confusing at face value. She writes with confusing language and constantly asserts that things we think are true aren't. If you take it section by section I think it starts to make more sense.
4. How can the body be fully paralleled to writing?
I'm not sure it can be fully paralleled because although normal writing needs a structure the way our bodies have spines and bones, the hypertext Shelly talks about doesn't follow standard conventions, and she even says that each part of it is a brain thinking for itself (or something along those lines). Hypertext is always changing and evolving. Because not all forms of writing follow the body analogy I don't think they can be fully paralleled.
