Phrases and References - Githubissues

So far we have decided for sure to mark up are: My Shot - #shot Wait For It (and possibly including certain instances of just the word "wait") - #wait Satisfied - #satisfied Helpless - #helpless Rise Up - #rise Time - #time Look Around - #look Legacy - #legacy

And we are going to be tagging the phrases as a whole so it contains the context the phrase is used in.

As I was marking up the established phrases in act one, I wasn't entirely sure what we are going to be tagging. For example, just the words "my shot" or "not throwing away my shot". I ended up going with tagging up the whole phrases to give more context to what the phrase is conveying, but we may want to discuss and set in stone what we want to grab exactly when marking the phrases.

Also, we discussed the idea of going back into the songs and possibly marking up more indirect references, such as pronouns or titles. Like in "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story" Eliza has a moment where she goes on about Hamilton for a little while, but she only directly references him once as Alexander. If we included all the indirect references such as you, we could be getting a lot specific data to who is actually talked about the most. The challenge with this is just that amount of tagging up every pronoun and title and etc could make our data really clustered and if we did do this, we would have to determine to what extent we would go with the indirect references. So, would we mark every example of you or just the speech it occurs in.

Another side note is possibly looking into whether or not the direct references are a character's first name or their surname. It could be interesting to see, for example, if Burr, Jefferson, and etc. mainly refer to Hamilton by his surname, while Angelica, Eliza, etc. refer to him as Alexander.
