I don't understand what i am doing wrong in this code.
favorite_things = ['raindrops on roses', 'whiskers on kittens', 'bright copper kettles',
'warm woolen mittens', 'bright paper packages tied up with string',
'cream colored ponies', 'crisp apple strudels']
slice1 = favorite_things[1:4]
slice2 = favorite_things[-2:]
sorted_things = favorite_things[:].sort()

you need to separate the two steps. First make the copy and then sort the list.

You are almost there. Do properly complete the challenge you must: 1) Make a copy of the list 2) Sort the list 3) Call back the the list
favorite_things = ['raindrops on roses', 'whiskers on kittens', 'bright copper kettles',
'warm woolen mittens', 'bright paper packages tied up with string',
'cream colored ponies', 'crisp apple strudels']
slice1 = favorite_things[1:4]
slice2 = favorite_things[-2:]
sorted_things = favorite_things[:]
sorted_things.sort()
sorted_things
