• Network


  A collection of objects connected to each other in some way
• Network


  • Made up of vertices joined by edges
• Vertex


  A point or dot in which lines of a network diagram branch off or intersect
• Edge


  The lines that join the vertices in the network can also be called 'allies'
• Degree


  Number of edges attached to a vertex. The degree can be odd or even.
• Loop


  An edge that is attached twice to a vertex. It counts as two degrees but only 1 edge
• Walk


  Movement along the edges of a network from one vertex to the next
• Connected network


  You can walk between any pair of vertices
• Disconnected network


  There is a pair of vertices between which you cannot walk
• Path


  When all the edges/vertices in the walk are DIFFERENT (no repeats)
• Open path


  A path that starts and finishes at the same vertex
• Closed path


  A path that starts and finishes at the same vertex/also called a cycle
• Weighted edges


  Numbers on the edges represent real-world quantities such as time and distance
• Directed network


  Networks where the edges have an arrow indicating the direction
• Tree


  A connected graph where any two vertices are connected by one edge (no loop or closed path cycle)
• Spanning tree


  A tree that counts ALL vertices of a given network (may not contain all the edges)
• Minimum spanning tree


  A spanning tree with the smallest total edge weight
• Critical path analysis


  Technique that identifies the activities required to complete a project or task and the time required for each
• Activity chart


  A list of activities that includes a list of predecessor activities and how long each activity will take
• Dummy activity


  Required if two activities share some, but not all their predecessors. Shown on a network using a dotted line
• Earliest starting time (EST)


  The earliest start time an individual activity can have
• Latest starting time (LST)


  The latest time an activity can start after the commencement of the project and still be completed in the minimum time
• Critical path


  The path consisting of all critical activities that cannot be delayed or prolonged without delaying the whole project
• Network flow diagram


  A directed network graph where something flows from one point (source) to another (sink)
• Maximum flow = minimum cut
• Unknown Speaker: '"the dark water - black and cold and roaring"'
• The ocean is utilized as a metaphorical representation of their father's cruelty and his threat is established in the prologue
• Polysyndeton


  • Introduces the significance of the sea
  • Foreshadows the novel and the boy's experiences with it
• Dad and the water

  Become tandem sinister forces that ultimately claim Harry's life
• Unknown Speaker: '"Miles let the rip that ran with the bluff carry him. He felt his body floating free."'
• Water reflects Miles' inner strength as despite the ocean claiming his brother, he is able to find freedom within it
• Despite his harrowing experience with the ocean, he doesn't let it hold him back
• Alliteration and imagery


  • Demonstrates the healing and calming facet of the ocean
  • A side not experienced by their Father
• The ocean is not only a representation of the volatility in the Curren’s household, but is also a depiction of the complexities of human life
• It allows the audience to question and reflect on the reasons for an erratic life
• The ocean is as tumultuous as life itself
