'warm woolen mittens', 'bright paper packages tied up with string',
'cream colored ponies', 'crisp apple strudels']
slice1 = favorite_things[1:4]
slice2 = favorite_things[5:7] # favorite_things[-2:] will also work. This will grab the last two elements in the array saving you from counting.
sorted_things = favorite_things[:]
sorted_things.sort()
Take a look at this code above. Hopefully this will answer some questions for you. Make sure slice2 = favorite_things "hint hint"
