Distant Reading Text Selection

Written by

For the distant reading project at first, I was thinking of doing a topic that went over stocks in the markets, but after thinking about it, I don’t know much about it in general to come up with an idea more specific about it, that will be a good theme for my project and future projects. So instead, I thought about some of my favorite movies and they’re all dystopian so I narrowed down to the one dystopian movie. I think I like Divergent the most, directed by Neil Burger and Robert Schwentke. Overall, I thought that the first divergent movie was the best and it made me think about how the entire series evolved. So I started to explore articles that were commented and reviewed on Reddit, which has many links that go to different points of views and opinions that people have all related to the single idea of all the divergent movies. All of the articles I have found so far are listed below and they sum up what I want my larger topic to be: What are the common and uncommon views and opinions on the evolution of the divergent movie series? Would this be my topic? These are the articles I think that will help support my idea the best:
