Given is a story about a black football player who was killed by a white boy while hunting. While reading it, I had a hard time keeping up with who was who&#8217;s uncle versus dad versus the sheriff and so on. Therefore, it ended up being the perfect story for a network graph as it laid out clearly everyone&#8217;s connection to one another.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2965\" src=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-19-at-12.29.23-PM-300x174.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"174\" srcset=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-19-at-12.29.23-PM-300x174.png 300w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-19-at-12.29.23-PM-768x445.png 768w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-19-at-12.29.23-PM-1024x594.png 1024w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-19-at-12.29.23-PM.png 1338w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As you can see above, there were two sides of the story &#8211; those related to Given and those related to Michael. One could also see it as the innocent vs. the wicked.<\/p>\n<p>However, the graph is misleading because it seems as though the two main characters would be Michael and Given. Though Given is the protagonist, it is Michael&#8217;s cousin, not Michael, who ends up being the antagonist. This is a perfect illustration of the limitations of the graph, as it can paint a different picture than that which the author was aiming to portray.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I found the network graph to be a very cool for of analysis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hellllllo everyone!
