Tag Crowd: Spanish Flu

In order to experiment with TagCrowd.com and locate some connections/ patterns in the works of my students, I randomly selected half of the submissions for an assignment, removed any names, and then pasted them into a giant document. Next, I pasted this into TagCrowd.

The assignment was to write a 300 word summary of Kreiser's "The Enemy Within," which is about the Spanish Flu of 1918.

I selected only the top 50 words.

Here is the resulting cloud:
