Hamilton
I think here you can consider using the person name tags since Hamilton is being mentioned.

I’m young, scrappy and hungry
For me this line really depicts how the United States operated back when they were starting out and their thirst for power.

President
I think it is a good idea to count the word "President" as a person name because the President at this time is George Washington and by just saying President they are referring to him. Also another reason is because he is mentioned numerous times in this song.

You shot him in the side!
I like how this line is considered as an event because it talks about an event where someone was shot.

Mr. President, you asked to see me?
I feel like a good reason this song was played at the White House because it talks about a very important interaction between Hamilton and the President, who at that time was George Washington.
-
One Last Time
"One Last Time" This song was played at the White House while Barack Obama was President. Being one of the most important songs of the musical.

And do we provide aid and our troops to our French allies or do we stay out of it?
This question is the main idea of this song. Both Jefferson and Hamilton debate whether they should stay out of the war or go and help, where both sides explain their ideas of what they believe should occur.
-
Cabinet Battle #2
"Cabinet Battle #2" I believe this is a very good and fun video to demonstrate the scene in this song.

History Has Its Eyes on You
"History Has Its Eyes on You" I believe this video depicts well the emotions in this song and how important it is what is going on.
-
History has its Eyes on you
This line is very important in the song and history overall, this mainly talks about where the next decisions both Hamilton and Washington take will decide the fate of the United States.

-
Ohh, I do I do I do I
This line is important because it shows Eliza is happy and wants to marry Hamilton, which helps describes what this song is about.
-
Helpless
"Helpless" This is a video made in reference to the song "Helpless."

In conclusion, TEI is very helpful when I encode songs in the Hamilton play and I gained a great deal of information from the readings regarding how to encode specific words and phrases using tags and name entities.
I also found that TEI is a very helpful source when it comes to retaining data from works. Definitely a very useful tool for encoding documents.

As explained by Flanders, “An element has three core constituent parts: the start tag, the end tag, and the content, which is whatever lies between the start tag and the end tag” (Flanders 106).
This is a great quote fro Julia Flanders, I came upon this text as well and really helped me understand the reason behind encoding.

For example, in the song “Schuyler Defeated”, I was confused about the phrase “Democratic Republican” so I asked a fellow editor for their opinion. I gave him the context and we came to the conclusion that “orgName” would work best.
This is great you guys came to this conclusion. I was having trouble identifying some "orgName's," having this example will help me determine what can be a "orgName."

In addition, I would integrate actual translations of the letters between Angelica and Hamilton because it suggests that the musical did not just fantasize their relationship, rather Miranda used them to expand upon their relationship.
This sounds like a great idea, adding these will add more authenticity, grabbing even more the audiences attention.
-
“The True Story behind Hip-Hop Musical Hamilton,”3 because it thoroughly describes Hamilton’s background and his journey to becoming one of the most influential people in America.
I personally really liked this song because the way they introduce Hamilton is very well sang and really gets me into understanding who Hamilton is.
-
I would choose “Helpless” because it introduces Angelica and Hamilton together and immediately demonstrates Angelica’s feelings towards Hamilton when she tells Eliza “I’m just sayin’, if you really loved me, you would share him.” I would also choose the song “Satisfied” because it expands upon her love for Hamilton and how much she desires to be with him
I agree that both these songs help to show the love Eliza's sister, Angelica, had towards Hamilton.

In Hamilton, this point is easily seen. Much of the plot revolves around who has Hamilton’s interest and we can see that from a closer more detailed look at the text.
This is very true; I noticed that depending on who Hamilton is thinking about, that certain section will have his or her name mentioned more and more pronouns will be used.
-
From this, we can observe that the plot becomes less oriented towards Hamilton’s love life and more towards his work life.
I find this very interesting, I had not picked up on this about Hamilton, this is a very good observation based of how in the first act they talk more about Hamilton's love life.

Now, what happens if you take out the beats and just read the lyrics and words? You can see aspects of the play you wouldn’t have noticed just from listening.
I really like what you say here, I do believe as well that reading the lyrics without the music helps you see small details you would not catch by just listening to the song. By doing this I am able to notice a pattern in words and see how it is correlated to the situation.
