\u201cBlue Moon\u201dis an essay written by renowned Japanese writer Hiromi Kawakami, and published in Granta 127: Japan. \u00a0In this extremely rhetorical piece, Kawakami put the inevitable inaccuracy of translation and the fragility of life in parallel, thus relating her personal transition in embracing the fact of her little chance to survive the malignant tumor to the difficulty in translating Japanese haiku to the Russian audience. \u00a0As she explained, “Things are always, at best, a \u00a0near miss. We get through, sometimes just barely”. Finally, while she was composing\u00a0a\u00a0poem,\u00a0the\u00a0mixed\u00a0feeling of\u00a0sadness for\u00a0transitory happiness\u00a0flashed across her\u00a0mind on a snowy day in Russia.<\/p>\n

I created an edge list of characters in the essay and defined the\u00a0connection as they met each other in person.\u00a0Then I uploaded\u00a0the excel to Google Fusion Tables to generate\u00a0the network chart<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"blue-moon\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This network graph demonstrates the\u00a0direct contacts between characters. It echoes with the tone of the essay, which depicts the author as the center figure and focus on her own transition. However, the graph fails to reveal the nature of these relationships, specifically the factors which triggers the development of the author’s mentality. The chart also lacks the importance of each\u00a0character’s role in the essay. I believe that it can still be optimized with further consideration.<\/p>\n
