This is proven in "My Shot" when Hamilton says, "I am not throwing away my shot", and in "Wait For It" when Burr states, "I am lying in wait". This justfies that they are both not willing to let their shots slip by because Hamilton is adament about seizing his shot before it evens arrives, while Burr is lying in wait for it to come to him. An example of a difference between Hamilton and Burr is that Hamilton never restrains himself from taking action while Burr likes to bite his tongue. This is proven in "My Shot" when Hamilton states "There will be a revolution in this century, enter me" and in "Wait For It" when Burr says "I'm willing to wait for it". This exemplifies how Hamilton does not restrain himself because he announces that he will help start the revolution. This also exemplfies how Burr bites his tongue because he always waiting for his shot, never taking action.

For example, instead of having a happy childhood, Burr had to deal with his parents death, move on, and change. https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2578344 https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2578344 Tue, 28 Sep 2021 07:26:24 +0800 Burr is not even sure if there is a reason Hamilton succeeds or if it just Hamilton being himself, showing how special Hamilton is. https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2578341 https://nowcomment.com/documents/289868?scroll_to=2578341 Tue, 28 Sep 2021 07:21:50 +0800 Burr is saying that Alexander always moves up after doing something important.
