Day 79: using Diigo to analyze Harris

Now that I've finished all the Diigo listings for the Harris stories, I can look for some fun combinations, like how many times rabbit and fox occur together:
#tales #project:JCHarris #rabbit #fox

That's 56 of the stories! And of those, 10 have the wolf too:
#tales #project:JCHarris #rabbit #fox #wolf

So that leaves 46 fox and rabbit stories without wolf:
#tales #project:JCHarris #rabbit #fox NOT #wolf

Plus there are 10 fox stories without the rabbit; that surprised me!
#tales #project:JCHarris #fox NOT #rabbit

A grand total of 66 fox stories:
#tales #project:JCHarris #fox

And that's compared to 123 rabbit stories... so many rabbits!
#tales #project:JCHarris #rabbit

Plus lots of turtles too: 21 of those!
#tales #project:JCHarris #turtle

At some point I'll want to look at these fox stories because poor Brer Fox has a hard time in Brer Rabbit's world. I have used the fox as my online avatar for many years now, in honor of the trickster fox in Aesop's fables. But maybe I should have been using a rabbit! Here is Fox nailed to his own roof by that Rabbit:
