The story follows Sarah’s first semester in college. She is a premed student who has to go through the hardships of fitting in and adjusting to this new chapter in her life. The graph indicates a connection everytime Sarah has an interaction with someone. Throughout the story, she interacts with multiple groups of people such as her premed friends, her family, her friend Georgie, and more.<\/p>\n

The story takes some interesting turns, and if I were to redo this chart, I would probably add weights to the links by making them heavier or making the nodes bigger by number of interactions. While Sarah’s node is the biggest, it is due to the number of interactions she has had as a whole, not by individual.<\/p>\n

She has had significantly more interactions with Georgie, Colin, and David, but this can’t be seen through the graph. In addition to this, some of the narrative was unclear. An example of this was Georgie’s friend at the party. Was this the person that Georgie was holding hands with, or was it someone new? These things would be helpful when constructing a graph.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
