Personally, text-mining tools are not valuable to me unless I needed a huge document consolidated into an overview of phrases that are included in the document to provide me with general idea what it is about. While this is a unique and fun tool to use, especially to see if I were to use a particular word too much in a paper I still prefer to try and read everything in documents to avoid missing anything that could be of importance to me.

This week I have made some progress with the written part of my project, which is a little more than half way done and I anticipate finishing it in the next day or two. Also, I have found a few more primary sources, which includes a speech by President Warren G. Harding at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier discussing the very importance of remembering the unidentifiable service members. This will be a major key to my topic. The rest of the week and this weekend I plan on finishing the written portion and getting more work done in Omeka. The only challenging part thus far has been finding something than answers my research topic, which the primary source I noted above does just that for me. Also, navigating myself through Omeka was difficult at first, but after last class and having played around in it some more I feel much more comfortable.
