my shot
I think we could potentially tag 'my shot' as a concept as it's less of a physical/tangible thing but a very important concept that is partially behind Hamilton's work ethic and drive.

Right Hand Man
I don't think this is an original performance but I think this song goes well with a visual to accompany it to fully take in all the details.

Washington
I think we should tag Washington as a persName.

I feel like we should do something (perhaps further emphasize) with this word that keeps recurring throughout this song. It is a good word to describe what they are going through at this point in the musical.

founding fathers
I named the 'founding fathers' as an organization rather than a singular person or concept because it really consisted of a group of men who were crucial in the development of our new nation.

I debated between annotating this as a concept or a place, however I ended up deciding to call it a place because in reality, it could go down as both, however it is the place they call home and the place they are putting their lives on the line to defend.

But even though this is a pretty challenging assignment, this is where the creativity comes in, making it an original encoding piece of work.
I like this perspective. Though it was challenging, it separates the great pieces from the everyday ones that never make it.

I really like the creativity and incorporation of modern tech and features like the Apple face scanning. Overall, you have a lot of good ideas and I'm curious to see where you can go from here.

I think this method would prove to be effective in clarifying which characters are speaking and when they are
This can definitely help the casual reader follow the story better than having to read name tags to know who's speaking.
-
In addition, there would be a sequence of short interactive videos for every character in the play that would provide a quick summary of their individual roles, and analysis of their historical contributions
I like the inclusion of a section where people can educate themselves on the true history of the events.

It is common for humans to change their posture, tone of voice, or the ways in which they use particular words when talking with different people. For instance, I speak to my parents in a vastly different manner compared to the way that I talk with my friends. This concept became very apparent when I was listening to the Hamilton soundtrack. I noticed distinct changes in the way Hamilton would address and converse with different characters in the play.
I like this inclusion because it is true and rooted in human nature. It definitely does play a role, but it will be hard to quantify any data to support this since it is more of a tone of voice thing. Listening to the soundtrack is a good way to find these subtle hints, however, so you did a good job with that.

This visualization showed me that the word “Jefferson” (referring to the character Thomas Jefferson) is in the text a total of 3 times in the first act, compared to 149 times in the second act.
This is a good find, however I just wonder what further connections or conclusions could be made with this information. Because he is not entirely excluded from the first act, he must play some small role which increases greatly once the second act hits. What else could this mean?
-
However, both “we” and “you” are used in higher frequencies in the first act. This data might mean that there are more “high status” individuals in the first act compared to the second act purely based on the dialect that is used in the scripts.
This is a very good connection and one that I hadn't thought to look for. Relating the status of individuals who speak with their distinct use of "we" or "you" is a good touch.
