1 An Analysis of Through the Looking Glass
Firstname Lastname Computer Science 101 Section 99 April 22, 2019

2 Source Material This presentation is based on the first chapter of "Through the Looking Glass" by Lewis Carroll. Because it was written so long ago, in 1871, its copyright has expired and it is now in the public domain. It is often used as sample data for projects such as these for convenience and simplicity. Included are some of the original illustrations for the book by John Tenniel. They have also fallen into the public domain and are free to use herein. Firstname Lastname 4/22/2019

3 Analysis of Word Frequency
We will analyze the top 10 words occurring in the sample text. The frequency of the word "alice" as a percent of the total words in the chapter is just under 1%. To compare this with kittens, notice that they are referred to both by the word "kitty" and by the word "kitten," and so their sum must be found before calculating the percent frequency. The following formula will calculate the percentage. Firstname Lastname 4/22/2019

5 Note It is of particular amusement that Alice herself is mentioned in this chapter only just as many times as the kittens are, despite the kittens having very little importance to the story and Alice having her name in the original full title of the book. Firstname Lastname 4/22/2019
