Text preprocessing: remove stop words

Stop words are unavoidable in writing. However, to determine how similar two pieces of text are to each other are or when trying to find themes within text, stop words can make things difficult. In the book Animal Farm, the first chapter contains only 2,636 words, while almost 200 of them are the word "the".

Usually, "the" will not help us in text analysis projects. In this exercise you will remove the stop words from the first chapter of Animal Farm.
