For this blog post, I worked with Voyant tools to try to be able to visualize what the meaning of a novel is about. I choose the Woman in White by Wilke Collins which is a mystery fiction book so from that I predicted that a woman was seen at a crime scene or a place where she shouldn’t have been and the detective call her the Woman in white because she was wearing white. The story would revolve around the woman and I think it could be a thriller. By going to the gutenberg website and using their bookshelves I was able to copy the plain text of the novel into Voyant tools. From there I played with the tools and found that in one word wall the name “Laura” comes up and I suppose the Woman in white is named Laura. Percival, time, and halcombe come up pretty big in word web which makes me think that those words are important to the plot. For phrases, the most the same phrase came was twice so that wasn’t much help, but I see how it is helpful with other texts. Overall, the tools I worked with were helpful and could be used as a great teaching tool
