The usage of the word "art" is fairly consistent between the two issues, which makes sense considering the purpose of the journal is to advocate for a new style of art. Meanwhile, the mention of "war" increases between issues. This makes sense since ''BLAST'' 2 is reflecting on the atrocities of war. Particularly interesting is the fact that the usage of the word "man" goes down. At its prime, ~~vorticism~~ was a nationalistic movement that embraced the power of man to create. The decrease in the word usage suggests some sort of despondence; the empowerment of the authors to create an artistic revolution of sorts may have dwindled as the horror of war forced them to question their deepest beliefs. However, since the decrease is so slight, it could be noted that "man" is still a vital part of the magazine as it may be used to humanize the abstract art included. Overall, the further insight provided by these words helps to demonstrate the great impact of the war on the publication but also shows the continuation of the basic purpose of the authors.
