For this lab, in addition to the text file given for the assignment, I explored the Voyant Tools platform using an essay I wrote in a self-directed seminar in my undergraduate studies. I looked at the suggested Cirrus word cloud, but also means to visualize not just the frequency of my words, but when these occurred using the TextualArc and Bubbles panels.
