This thing here is a called a Wordle. (go to Wordle.net and make one of your own.) It's a way to look at the frequency of words in a text which turns itself into a cloud of words arranged and sized in relation to word frequency in the text you "Wordle." (yes, a verb - to wordle. like google)
I Wordled the post I put up here about and end to the story and this is what came out.
Anyway, a class of young student used it to help them figure out what Charlotte Perkins Gilmans's The Yellow Wallpaper was all about. Check out the link below to see what happend. It was Amazing.
