aenzor analysis idea #1

Hello! I will be comparing the writings of early science fiction authors. I will compare two of Jules Verne's works against each other. Journey to the Center of the Earth and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea . I will compare these to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, which has been argued by some people to be the first book which the label science fiction can be applied. I am interested to see the difference in word usage frequency and also see about looking into unique words used in each book.

Great idea! I recommend using the BeautifulSoup library for text analysis in Python. It's very powerful and should make this project easier. I did a project last year where we had to do this exact style of data analysis if you have any questions.
