1.1. Dichotomous keys are used to sort out a specific sub-group from a greater collection based on a series of yes/no question. For example, identifying a species of tree based on observable characteristics.

1.2. By modifying a dichotomous key it is possible to construct a flow chart for the Honors 112 texts based on core differences. Dichotomous keys are meant to be concise, so though the flow chart itself is small, the analysis of each book involved in the process of making this flow chart yields tremendous insight about the literature.
