At first I just made a column for characters but I couldn&#8217;t get the system to work. Afterwards I created another column that included who the characters knew and from there I was able to create this chart. I thought that it was pretty cool that Google Fusions was able to read the data from the excel sheet and input it into the system where it would create connections.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3246 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-20-at-12.31.14-PM-300x182.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"182\" srcset=\"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-20-at-12.31.14-PM-300x182.png 300w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-20-at-12.31.14-PM-768x466.png 768w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-20-at-12.31.14-PM-1024x622.png 1024w, http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2017\/11\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-20-at-12.31.14-PM.png 1064w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>There were only three characters that were presented within this story. The martians all came together and encountered the mushroom in Canada and that&#8217;s where they all met. In so in this chart, all the characters are connected to one another because they all interact and converse together within the story. This image seems very plain but personally for me knowing that there were 12 different rows and 24 different data points that went into making this chart, it&#8217;s pretty interesting\/ cool for me to see.<\/p>\n<p>With that I think one limitation would probably be information regarding relationship title. The martians all came together and it&#8217;s clear that they&#8217;re pretty close (after all they came to watch a musical together). In this story the mushroom is the odd ball out, but this chart does not show that to us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The narrative that I read for this week blog&#8217;s post was The Martians Claim Canada.\u00a0This narrative was a short story<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":180,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3244","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\/3244","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\/180"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3244"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3244\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3244"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3244"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/miriamposner.com\/classes\/dh101f17\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
