I chose to work with thursday.txt in the radioPlays folder. My findings are listed underneath the images.

Screen Shot 2024-03-12 at 3 31 16 PM I worked with an N-gram size of 3 and my results are above. The most frequent occurrences were portions of the text that included who was speaking.

Screen Shot 2024-03-12 at 3 31 58 PM I'm not surprised this text string is frequent considering the title of the text is "Who Was Thursday." I am curious as to why they named it that.

Screen Shot 2024-03-12 at 3 32 46 PM "The Mercury Theater" is the location of the radio station. References to this place are included throughout the text.
