For this exercise,  read Fisher and consider how social capital functions in that story. Begin by picking a character from the story and drawing that character’s sociogram. Make sure to include characters who are alluded to even if they do not directly appear in the narrative (parents, former business partners, ex-lovers, etc.). Then, in about 1-2 pages of double-spaced prose or a little more, analyze a couple of the ties that have been depicted in the sociogram:

  • How do they fit or not fit Watters’s definitions of either weak or strong ties?
  • How do the characters’ roles as weak or strong ties intersect with their function in the plot of the story?
  • What is the bigger picture of the diegetic world in this story or the purpose of hardboiled fiction based on your observations of these ties—what is your broader sense of how the city functions or malfunctions, or can you derive some kind of moral or practical message from these instances?
