| + | |||
| + | This visual shows how the key words ''Success'' and ''Courage'' correlate within this volume of the magazine. Both words are obviously a strong topic throughout this edition. However, even though ''Success'' was used roughly ten times while ''Courage'' was used only half as much. While this is a more prominent number than seen in other examples, it still does not do justice to the pride in success and pride in sacrifice seen in the language and stories published in the 1918 edition. | ||

| + | This comparison shows the use of the words ''Sacrifice'', ''Pride'', and ''Courage'' used to signify the acts of ''Gallantry'' and ''Bravery'' of soldiers who are taking part in the war. ''Sacrifice'' is used three times while ''Pride'' is used twice and ''Courage'' is used once. The actions these words describe are not done justice by the number of times the physical words appear in the text. | ||

| + | |||
| + | Although the words ''Gallantry'' and ''Bravery'' are accounted for in the text, they do not appear when searched through the text mining tools being utilized. ''Gallantry'' is used multiple times when recounting actions of African-American soldiers who voluntarily performed amazing acts of bravery. Additionally, the occurrence of the word ''Sacrifice'', displayed below, shows that there are three occurrences of the word in the 1914 edition. It appears these three times in three separate sections, showing ''Sacrifice'' is a consistent theme throughout the edition. | ||

| − | This | + | This graph tells a different story than the 1914 edition. ''Courage'' appears a total of five times in this edition, with three of those instances being in the same section. This depletes the significance of the high number of occurrences to a degree, since this equates to again only three sections containing the word. However, these occurrences are spread out again, making ''Courage'' a comprehensive idea yet again. |
