    2. diamond in the rough, a shiny piece of coal

      I thought that this was an interesting thing to tag, not only because it is an object but also is a reflection on Hamilton being unique.

    1. Burr as the victor

      Interesting take on a new Hamilton. Would the new play be called "Burr?"

    4. I would include a zoom in on Hamilton’s face after he hears the news of Burr defeating his father, where you can see a quiet anger in Alexander’s eyes, which would elicit to the viewer a deep profound anger.

      This is a great idea, for Hamilton as a movie, but considering it is a play, it would be hard to do something like that. How would you portray it in the play?

    1. They connect and it seems as if Burr has influenced Hamilton to follow in his footsteps. Hamilton admired Burr and asked several questions and sought advice from him. Also, it is ironic that Burr tells Hamilton to talk less and “fools who run their mouths off wind up dead” which is foreshadowing because Burr is the one who eventually kills Hamilton (Hamilton Act 1).

      There is good use of quotes and lyrics to show the advancement of Hamilton and Burr's relationship.

    2. As I expected, Hamilton and Burr appeared the most in both acts.

      You could add about how the frequency of Hamilton and Burr in the play affected each others relationship.

    3. When you embed a Voyant Tool in your reflection, try to incorporate it in the text instead of just leaving it at the end.
