On National Nurses Day, we extend our thanks to nurses for their courageous work—at all times but especially so throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. #NationalNursesDay
Due to some technical difficulties, I had to delay publishing my final blog until today. The fact that our journey in digital humanities has come to an end is a hard pill to swallow indeed. #ENGL256B @ENGL256B https://t.co/TYbBKbPQTf
It’s been a hectic week so I only just got the chance to share my second blog with you guys. Done by my group and I and personalized by me, I would really appreciate if you guys could check it out and leave a comment! #ENGL256B@ENGL256B https://t.co/SKOHn0jIW4
Today’s session was especially fun. It was a pleasure watching my classmates present their final projects and it was an even greater honor presenting ours alongside my group after all the hard work we poured into it lately. Happy with the results and feedback. #ENGL256B@ENGL256B
Was a really nice day for section 2 of #Engl256B, enjoyed my classmates' presentations especially @korek_tarek and the rest of group 5 who had an amazing project covering the struggle of #GoodVSEvil in Dan Brown’s novels.
1/3) #DidYouKnow about #Thesaurus? 🧐
In the early 19th century, archaeologists borrowed the Latin word thesaurus to denote an ancient treasury, such as that of a temple. Soon after, the word was metaphorically applied to a book containing a "treasury" of words or information.
Continuing my discovery of the variant tools used in the analysis of digital humanities literature, I'm familiarizing myself with the use of @VoyantTools as it's going to be the tool we use in our final DH project in my group. Check out this thread for more! #ENGL256B@ENGL256B
Lastly, out of curiosity, I searched for the phrase “cerca trova” using Voyant which is Italian for “search & find” and the clue that Robert Langdon finds in one of the paintings (check the image) in the book. It was mentioned just 26 times. Can you find it yourself? 😉 #ENGL256B
You can see that the word "Langdon", used 1990 times throughout the entire book, peaked between segments 5 and 6 and was least used in segment 7. Being the emphatic main character in Dan Brown's book series, I dont think that comes as much of a surprise. #ENGL256B
Currently working on creating a spreadsheet around @AuthorDanBrown’s Inferno and I’ve just been reminded of the beauty of his work and writing. His depiction of ancient art and architecture is truly one to behold. #ENGL256B
