The story was told from a first person perspective, and it&#8217;s about the how he and his wife was pressured into having a pet. The pet rabbit ended up being his only companion, with his wife now living apart from him. I thought it was interesting to see how their living arrangements have changed through the network graph.<\/p>\n<p>This network graph illustrates the characters who have previously lived together, regardless of whether they still do at the time the story was written. The network graph illustrates that they used to be a tight-knit group of people, which they are. They used to be a family. From the story, we know that the author is now left with only the rabbit. Hence, if the network graph would just be him and the rabbit connected by a straight line, which is significantly sparser than the network graph we have above. This shows a stark change in the author&#8217;s life, as he now only has the rabbit to rely on for homely company.<\/p>\n<p>The limitations of the network graph are primarily in the ease of use. The nodes seem to all be clustered together. Although the interactive version allows the users to pull a node and better visualize that node&#8217;s relationships with other nodes, the fact remains that it is harder to read when there are so many lines. Perhaps one way to go about it is to have abbreviated names. Another limitation of this network graph is it cannot illustrate differences in time, which is specific to this story. Perhaps the current state of affairs can be show with a different line color. Having this feature could then distinguish changes in relationships given the same set of nodes, or perhaps even another relationship criteria between the same set of nodes. This will save us the trouble of creating a new network graph, which not only is troublesome but also harder to compare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; I chose a story that was told, for the most part, retrospectively without much information about the characters at<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":126,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2937","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2937","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/126"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2937"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2937\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2937"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2937"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2937"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
