Comparing the sentiment of two strings

In this exercise, you will compare the sentiment of two different strings. A string called annak has been defined for you and it contains the first sentence of Anna Karenina. A second string called catcher has been created and it contains the first sentence of The Catcher in the Rye. Feel free to explore both in the IPython Shell.

Your task is again to detect the sentiment of each string - both their polarity and subjectivity. Which one has higher sentiment score? Did you expect that to be the case?
