Madison should introduce the graphic in the text immediately before the graphic appears and then put in an analysis after it. This approach would make it easier for the reader to understand the graphic by knowing what they are looking at and why it is relevant to the report. It also ensures that the reader does not have to flip back and forth between the analysis and graphic, as everything is presented in one place.
