Mini-project idea #1

LagoonyToons commented 2 years ago

I want to take a few dystopian novels and compare word frequency to see what topics come up most frequently. I imagine I may also want to add in some word type filters so that I don't end up with just "the", "and", "so", etc.

I'll probably do The Road, something from Albert Camus, 1984, and maybe something from Kurt Vonnegut. ( I know I only need 3 but I'm interested in this)

There are also premade algorithms to find the positivity/negativity of a sentence so I could apply those and check the overall positivity or negativity of each work. I do want to do something a bit more in depth than just word frequency analysis, since that honestly seems pretty boring.

I like the idea. I'd be interested to see what the different settings will do to the word frequency and if the physical environment will have anything to do with specific word frequencies between the books. I like the premade algorithm idea for positivity/negativity and definitely think you should implement those.
