The diagram clearly centers around the narrator&#8211;which makes sense, because the story is told from his point of view. It illustrates a clear\u00a0\u00a0separation between the groups the narrator interacts with; his coworkers at the bottom, and the voices he hears at night grouped at the top. The diagram turned out illustrate the two different lives the narrator lives in the daytime, at work, and at night, as he listens to the voices of the dead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One thing that can be misleading about network diagrams is position&#8211;nodes are placed arbitrarily, but a viewer of the graph might (even subconsciously) assign value to names based on their relative position. For example, the diagram below might suggest a different relationship than the one above. (Is the narrator being pulled metaphorically \u201cdown\u201d by the voices?)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3213\" src=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/11\/2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"379\" height=\"622\" srcset=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/11\/2.png 379w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/11\/2-183x300.png 183w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 379px) 100vw, 379px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One hing network diagrams cannot show is the changing nature of relationships&#8211;the narrator is linked to the people who are his co-workers for the majority of the story, but he is let go at the end&#8211;how can this shifting relationship be depicted in the diagram?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My network diagram is based on the short story \u201cSorry to Disturb You\u201d by Jack Underwood, which is about the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":108,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3206","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\/3206","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\/108"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3206"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3206\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
