I Have A Friend

&#x200B;

So, I have this friend. For some reason I feel sad before I even start to talk about her. She went to a Christian school growing up and made sure everyone knew it was her grandparents that sent her here, not her parents. She mentioned that she grew up with the Christian religion bashed into her by her grandparents and I’m pretty sure at this point she looked sick of it. Her Mom wasn’t as religious, so at least she got away from it occasionally. This girl just didn’t fit in with anyone at her little Christian Academy. This friend and I always thought Christians could sense someone who didn’t belong.

You could tell she didn’t know who she was by the way she flip-flopped between the shy, quiet kids and the loud popular kids. I don’t think she ever stuck with one group. It was a small school with even smaller classes, so it was hard not to notice everything about everyone. The teachers didn’t seem to care about her one way or another and the other kids were always a little bit more interested in someone else. She always seemed to be the second or third choice.

My friend did at one point find another friend named Audrey who she absolutely clicked with and we all became best friends, girl power and all that blah blah blah. Audrey brought out our crazy sides, gave us a reason to get up every day and was just someone to share things with. Neither of us had ever had a friend like her. We were jealous of Audrey a little bit but not enough to hate her, just enough to admire her. Our new best friend Audrey played the guitar, had a great family that loved their kids and all their kids’ friends as well. We were accepted in her house.

Audrey was a year older than us and went to high school first. We stayed best friends, but Audrey was finding new friends of her own. We got jealous but knew we were still her best friend. We were still in youth group together and making a lot of new friends. All was going well until we had to go to a different high school than Audrey. We drifted apart. All of us did after that.

I saw my friend go from this radiant, funny girl who had a sense of belonging back to her old self. I feel like she looked like she did when I first started to recognize her in middle school. Just a shell with nowhere to turn and not a clue where to start. So, this friend of mine seemed to be worse than when she started, in an even bigger pool of people but not knowing any of them.

All these new people my friend met were very different and clearly light years ahead of her. It was sadly clear that what my friend did to fit in was a drastic move on her part. We fell even further apart. It tore me apart to watch her start doing whatever everyone else did and say just to lose all hope of having her own personality. I saw this personality form in her when we were with Audrey but now its like the personality she developed drained away completely. She became a master of adapting to all the new situations that got thrown her way.

I barely knew her now. It was sad to see her everyday and not be able to do anything about it. Sometimes I would shout at her to get her attention but usually she’d brush me off and shove me away. I saw her throw her whole self into anyone who showed her some sort of attention or what she thought was love. This made it even harder when those people would continuously let her down, but she would move on and do it again.

It was like she was a detective interrogating all these different people for the answers, but they just weren’t giving her any. She was searching and searching with no results. I don’t think she knew she was looking for something, but I could clearly see it and looking back its clear that she was desperate. Neither of us really knew what she wanted or needed but I just wanted her to let me help. I could only be so persistent when she just continued to push me away.

I could go on and on about how this friend of mine continued to search for answers throughout high school, but it would be a never-ending story and to tell the truth it very well could still be happening today. I saw something happen to her though.

I was watching when it happened. She was with a boy she had met not long ago, and it was obvious she was infatuated with him; would do anything he said no matter what. He told her about something he had been doing behind her back and she looked pissed. But I know her better than anyone and I could tell she wasn’t mad about what he had been doing but that he had been doing it without her. Yet again she threw herself into everything whole-heartedly and if this was a part of this boy she thought she loved then she wanted in.

I can’t believe it happened. Well, I can’t believe that either of these things really went down. Before it all happened and before he gave her that shot in the arm that would take her away from me for a very long time she looked in the mirror. For the first time in years I looked back at her through that same mirror, she really saw me, and I really saw her. That connection happened, and we knew what we were doing. We knew what path we were taking. She seemed to be saying good bye for now but not forever. There was an awareness that she was making the decision to leave me behind. I don’t think she knew before she was leaving me, but now she was actively doing it.

I got to see myself clearly that day and through the rough years I occasionally got to look through the mirror when she let me, and we even had a few screaming matches. In the present I now know I made that choice for a reason and I knew it would be a very long time until I’d see myself again. But It did happen. Although my relationship with my friend is different now than when we were young, at least I get to see her every day.

text: '...seems to ping pong between being annoyed with her to being upset at her.' This statement means the same thing, though it appears the model meant otherwise. The model needs to rewrite this statement for better clarity.

The narrator also was jealous of her friend at one point. The narrator felt very sad to see her friend every day and felt like she barely knew her.

answer: The narrator mostly enjoyed spending time and hanging out with her. She referred to herself as busy and is comfortable with the arrangement. At times there is a sense of loss due to, in her words, her friend choosing another lifestyle. That specific description is exemplified a moment when running into her and her boy, the narrator later regretted not being invited on the date.

text: The story never indicated that the narrator referred to herself as busy and was comfortable with such arrangement. Also, the story does not mention that the narrator regretted declining a date with Audrey and her boyfriend. These sentences are highly inaccurate. The model needs to highlight valid points from the story to answer the question adequately.

refinement: The narrator mostly enjoyed spending time and hanging out with her. At a point in their friendship, the narrator felt a loss of connection between them. Following that, Audrey struggled fiercely with addiction, at one point losing her sense of identity in the process. The narrator sees Audrey now as someone who needs help but is ultimately unable to provide it. She sees Audrey's addiction as something that is at once preventable and irreversible. She loves Audrey dearly but is unable to help her heal.

answer:
It's most clear that the narrator felt discouraged and sad that her friend could not find any answers or confidence in herself. She wondered why her friend would let herself be pushed out of the group. This led her to look down on her friend, which made her feel bad. She wanted to help her friend, but she also felt her friend cannot accept her support at times.

It's certainly clear that the narrator and her friend had a very heartbreaking friendship.

text: The story does not mention that the narrator looked down on her friend. The model should either eliminate this statement or include something more accurate. It also says that she allowed herself to be pushed out of the group. It is uncertain where the model got this information from, but it needs to be rewritten or erased altogether.

She wondered why her friend would let herself be pushed to the point of addiction to drugs to fit in with the crowd. She wanted to help her friend, but she also felt her friend could not accept her support. It's undoubtedly clear that the narrator and her friend had a very heartbreaking friendship.

split: test

text:
Jeffery was sitting in his statistics class nodding away as the information was simply passing by him. He could hardly wait to get out of class. Mondays, and Fridays were fine because there was a small chance of him seeing her. However, on Wednesdays she was always on time. He could see it now walking out from his this room strolling down Taylor Mall. Casually looking over to his right, and there she would be in a sunflower dress with dark hair writing in her journal. He could feel it now the sun beating down on him, and the wind tickling his skin. Jeffery would spend hours every day imagining how he would ask her to a date.  Perhaps Coffee, no she wouldn’t like coffee it’s obvious she likes tea. The courage he needed wasn’t there; he couldn’t talk to girls especially beautiful ones like her. The clock was ticking away, and the professor closed his book with a loud thud. Everyone got up, and started to leave. Jeffery was so deep into though that he didn’t hear class was over so early. Looking at the clock he knew he had time to stroll around in the building. She wouldn’t be there until 12:30.
Jeffery walked out and down the hall to his right. Ahead of him was the journalist building. He thought why not pop on by, and see what they were up to. He fixed his tie, and walked in. The building was much more impressive than the criminal justice one. Newly remolded it held three floors, and a news station on top. All of the students were moving around through the building all dressed nice, and talking about current events. College always had the optimistic feel to it especially on Wednesdays. Jeffery looked around the room. I may as well take a seat, I still have ten minutes. He sat there and opened up his favorite book, and started to read. Behind him he could hear the television blaring news programs. Another new part of the build was a massive projector showing news around the clock. Give me a good book any day.
He wasn’t a page in when he heard “Some of the most difficult of challenges is taking the first step.”
Jeffery turned kept listening. “We have to fight for what we want, and never take no for answer. Today may be the last day we have on earth.” Jeffery was feeling something moving inside of him, a strange inspiration. “So with this last day we will love like there is no tomorrow, fight like there is no tomorrow, and live like there is no tomorrow.” YES, Jeffery thought yes that’s right I have to tell her. He turns around to see where this new motivation comes from. On the scene is black and the words come up “Ford.” Why do car commercials always have the best inspiration? His watch started to beep he looked down 12:25. This was it he was about to see her. He got up, but the inspiration he felt still lingered with him. His breathing picked up, and he started to walk at a brisk pace. This was something different this was something new. He was going to ask her to a date today. He was actually going to talk to her. He started moving faster and faster almost running to the door. He quickly opens it. I’m going to do it I can do it. He rounds the corner to Taylor mall and stops to look for her. In his excitement he began to frantically search. She wasn’t on the grass like she normally was, or on any of the benches. He felt the need to keep looking. It was Wednesday she had to be here. There was no mistake she wasn’t here. He went over to where she normally sat a small group of people were there talking.
“Excuse me, have you seen a pretty girl with long dark hair in a Sun Flower dress?”
They looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. One of the other girls sitting there spoke up to Jeffery, “What’s her name?”
His face went white. In all of the time that he had been dreaming about her he never knew her name. He began to run down Taylor mall in embarrassment. He reached the edge of the street. Defeated, and broken he would get on the train back to his small dorm. Today college, and Wednesday lost their hopeful optimism.  Jeffery reached back to get his train card, and realized that his wallet was missing. Perfect as if today couldn’t get any worse. He started to head back to the journalist building where he thought he lost it. We walked in, and climbed up the stairs. He got to his couch, and saw no wallet. His heart sank again. He lost his wallet, lost hope of asking the most beautiful girl out on a date, and embarrassed himself doing it. He turned to walk home when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned to see the prettiest girl with long dark hair in a sunflower dress standing there. He felt his heart jump for joy, and he said “Hello”
“Your Jeffery Snipe right? I have your Wallet.”
He reached out and grabbed it brushing her hand he felt his heart melt some. “T-thank you, I’m Jeffery”
She smiled warmly “Jeff… I am Summer.” She paused for a moment looking at him warmly,  “can I tell you something Jeff?”
Jeff still bewildered nodded. Summer looked away then back at him “It might sound creepy but every Wednesday at 12:30 I wait for you to come out of class so I can see your smiling face, but I have never had the courage to ask you to a date.”

First try at a short story, I would love to hear what you think!

The story of James Butler

This is the story of James Butler. Now James Butler is a very ordinary man, living in an ordinary house with an ordinary wife and two of the most ordinary children in the world. James Butler works an ordinary job in an ordinary office, and an ordinary plant sits on the edge of his ordinary desk. When he gets home at exactly 6 in the evening, James Butler enjoys reading ordinary books or watching ordinary shows on his ordinary television. Now nothing would give us the impression that something is out of the ordinary in this man’s ordinary life. Nothing but a giant glass wall that separates James Butler from another world. Now in that other world, there lives a James Butler. Now James Butler lives a very extraordinary life. James Butler lives in the most extraordinary house with an extraordinary wife and two of the most extraordinary children in the world. James Butler works an extraordinary job in an extraordinary workplace. When he gets home, at whichever time suits him most, James Butler enjoys doing extraordinary things, like rock climbing or playing extraordinary chess championships at his extraordinary local chess club.

Now, apart from the fact that James Butler is a very extraordinary man, and the other James Butler is a very ordinary man, there’s one more thing that separates these two James Butlers. When James Butler wakes up on an ordinary Monday morning, and looks in his ordinary mirror before an ordinary Monday morning shave, there is no smile on his face. There’s sadness in his eyes, and bags under his eyes from a lack of sleep. When James Butler goes to work on this very ordinary Monday morning, there is no smile on his face. When James Butler works his ordinary 8-hour shift for his ordinary job, there is no smile on his face. Now the evening, that’s where it gets interesting. In the evening, when James Butler sits in an ordinary bus to make his way home, something not quite ordinary happens. Every evening, when James Butler returns to his ordinary house from his ordinary job, he looks through the window of the bus, trying to catch a glimpse of the James Butler on the other side of glass. Trying to catch just a small glimpse of the smile that sits upon the other James Butler’s face. Now that glimpse, that small of part of joy on the other side of the glass, that is what keeps the ordinary James Butler from going insane. Now going insane would be extremely extraordinary, and an ordinary man like James Butler wouldn’t want to go extraordinary now, would he?

But there’s another reason why James Butler tries to catch a glimpse of that smile every evening. The extraordinary James Butler, who leaves his job with a smile on his face every day, had a very ordinary past. It was a fun past, but an ordinary past. He watched his children grow up in a very ordinary fashion, and he loved his ordinary wife. When his children grew up and left the house to become adults themselves, James Butler started picking up hobbies for himself, and his life became extraordinary, filled with action, suspense and fun. Now our ordinary James Butler misses this kind of ordinary past. When James Butler was still a young, energetic man, and his wife was expecting their second child, something extraordinary happened. When our ordinary James Butler was working his 8-hour shift one day, he got a very extraordinary call from the hospital. His wife and first child had been in a car accident, and both had passed away on site. After hearing this news, James Butler excused himself and made his way home, where he drank an extraordinary amount of whiskey. This excessive amount of whiskey was the last extraordinary thing to happen in James Butler’s life. From that moment onwards, joy was hard to find for James Butler, and he lived from ordinary day to ordinary day, ordinary moment to ordinary moment, trying not to succumb to his grief. Eventually, maybe as a way of dealing with the sadness, but no one could quite tell, James Butler’s wife and children returned to him. They sat at his ordinary dinner table eating an ordinary spaghetti, and they slept in their ordinary beds at night. Now James Butler kept living like this until he was an old man, but he never became the happy man he once was. The presence of this wife and children gave him some comfort, but it was an empty shell, for every evening he would look at the other side of the glass and see what his life could have been.

But when James Butler was old and dying, something extraordinary happened once more, for the last time in his life. He got up and left his ordinary old man’s chair for the first time in a long while. James Butler then made his way outside, but left his coat and his hat hanging on their ordinary hooks in the hallway. He made his way along the glass wall, looking inside the entire way. On the other side sat an old man, wearing his coat and his hat. James Butler’s grand children came to visit him often, and even after the death of his wife joy still had a place in his life. Upon seeing this sight, our ordinary James Butler clenched his fists and started hitting the glass that had separated him from joy his entire life. It hurt, but he kept on hitting and hitting. Until finally, a crack appeared on the wall. As James Butler kept punching, the crack kept getting bigger and bigger, until finally after what seemed to be an eternity, it shattered. Billions of little pieces of glass came crashing down, and for the first time since that terrible accident, James Butler stepped to the other side of the wall.
On that other side of the wall is where James Butler died, with a smile on his face and a sea of glass surrounding him, while the other James Butler was nowhere to be found.

text: The 2 boys in blue took us out of our car and placed us in their backseat. They drove us around for a long while, until they stopped and parked in who knows where, a deserted place, probably in the outskirts of the city. They took our cellphones, partly in precaution, partly to just keep them. What followed was that typical movie scene: good cop/bad cop. One of them behaving sympathetic with our fear, we craved for his company, like a kid hiding behind his mother's skirt, in fear of the bad man: the bad cop. He was a big, strong individual with an scandalous personality. We were scared. We didn't know if he was going to take us to prison or even shoot us, partly because our silly imagination, powered by that odd paranoia that marihuana creates.

title: The boys in blue

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Why do the cops drive these people to a deserted spot?

answer: The cops drove the people to a deserted spot in order to feel safer taking away their cellphones and imposing their will on the people in fear. They wanted to heighten the people's fear so that they could exercise power over them.

text: It is not explicitly stated why the cops took them away.

refinement: It isn't explicitly stated why the cops took them away but it seems like they drove the people to a deserted spot in order to feel safer taking away their cellphones and imposing their will on the people in fear. Perhaps they wanted to heighten the people's fear so that they could exercise power over them.

answer: The cops drive the people to a deserted spot both as precaution and in order to intimidate them. They want to scare the people, either to get information out of them or as punishment.

answer: They want to interrogate them.

text: It isn't explicitly stated why they were taken away.

refinement: It seems like they want to interrogate them.

answer: Perhaps they are chosen for a gang-related incident or criminal act of which they were witnesses. Given that there are more than two witnesses, they are taken to a more secluded spot where the cause of arrest will also be made clear to the whole group.

answer: Unclear

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Why do they describe the bad cop as having a scandalous personality?

answer: The bad cop is described as having a scandalous personality because of his scandalous actions and behaviors, including behaving coercively and taking away their cellphones. Their assumption is that he might possibly take them to prison or even shoot them. Scandalous actions often mean that someone is unpredictable, unethical, immoral, or unlawful.

answer: Because the bad cop behaved menacingly, causing the boys in blue's captives some fear and doubt about whether he was going to take them to prison or shoot them. While the good cop provided some reassurance, the bad cop's scandalous personality unsettled their captives.

answer: This is an unusual adjective for describing a personality. Perhaps he threatens scandalous behaviour. Scandalous implies that others must know about his antics.

text: It is omitted that this information is not explicitly stated in the story.

refinement: This is not explicitly stated in the story. But it is an unusual adjective for describing a personality. Perhaps he threatens scandalous behaviour. Scandalous implies that others must know about his antics.

answer: That information can't be found, but they are very intimidated by the persona he portrays since they are no longer sure if he is going to take them to prison or shoot them.

answer: That information can't be found.

text: It is omitted that it seems so because they weren't sure if he was going to take them to prison or shoot them.

refinement: That information can't be found. But it seems that they thought of him as a bad cop because of the persona he portrayed, which made them think he was going to either shoot them or take them to prison.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Why is this good/cop bad cop scenario necessary?

answer: The cops must want evidence from them otherwise they wouldn't waste their time.

answer: The good cop is there to help soothe any anxiety the two boys in blue might create among their captives. The bad cop is there to apply intimidation when needed. This scenario is necessary to maintain control and keep the captives in line.

answer: The kids are held hostage to scare them into giving them information the police should have the authority to just outright ask for like an address, a location, or contacts of the child's parents.

answer: It seems necessary in order to dissuade their captives from running away.

answer: The good cop/bad cop scenario is necessary in order to gain information or to coerce information out of the target being interrogated. The good cop sympathizes with the subject, attempting to calm their fears and foster trust. The bad cop becomes an intimidating figure, hoping to break down the subject's defenses by posing a threat of physical or legal harm. This method is a common interrogation technique to try and get valuable information out of a subject.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Besides the paranoia why would the people on the back seat think that they were likely to be arrested?

answer: Perhaps they had committed a crime or knew something about a crime.

answer: The text does not answer this.

answer: One reason why the people in the back seat would expect to be arrested is that the 2 men in blue are law enforcement officers. Since they have taken away their cellphones and have immobilized them in their back seat, this makes people think that they are being arrested. This is also exacerbated by the fact that one of the law enforcement officers is behaving difficult and almost menacing, making people even more apprehensive.

answer: The cops had taken their cellphones.

answer: The people in the backseat were scared because the 2 individuals arresting them were members of law enforcement. This would make them likely to be arrested due to the potentially criminal nature of whatever they were doing.

question: Write a ~10 sentence summary.

answer: Two cops stopped the narrator and take them into their backseat. The boys in blue are faced with a different dynamic as one cop is sympathetic while the other is scandalous. The narrator is understandably terrified as they are unsure what these cops plan to do with them. They end up spending a tense time in the car before being dropped off at an unknown location.

text: It is incorrectly stated that the boys in blue are the narrator and his companion.

answer: Two boys in blue take the narrator's car. The narrator and his friend are scared because they did drugs which intensified the paranoia that two bad cops are going to do something bad. Then cops have them sit in the backseat. One cop asks for their license and registration and the other apologizes after the traffic stop thinking they didn't like his manners.

They get to the deserted place and they take their cellphones and keep them hostage, and eventually the other cop turns into a psychopathic bad cop.

answer: Two boys in blue removed the narrator and their friend from their car and placed them in their backseat.

The ENDEAVOUR 40 is an American sailboat that was designed by Bob Johnson as a cruiser and first built in 1981.[1][2][3]

Production

The design was built by the Endeavour Yacht Corporation in the United States. The company built about 185 examples between 1981 and 1985, but it is now out of production.[4][5][6]

Design

The Endeavour 40 was intended for both the private owner's market and yacht charter operators and was intended to compete directly with boats built by Gulfstar Yachts, as both company principals, John Books and Rob Valdes has previously worked for Gulfstar.[7]

The Endeavour 40 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of polyester resin and fiberglass woven roving and multi-directional chopped strand fiber, with teak wood trim. It has a center cockpit, masthead sloop rig or optional ketch rig, with aluminum spars, a raked stem, a reverse transom, a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel. It displaces and carries of structural lead ballast.[8][9][10][11]

The boat has a draft of with the standard keel fitted.[12]

The boat is fitted with a British Perkins Engines 4-108 diesel engine of for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds and the fresh water tank has a capacity of .[13]

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double “V”-berth in the bow cabin, two straight settees in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth. The main cabin features a folding dining table with two drop-leaves. The galley is located on the port side just aft of the companionway ladder. The galley is “L”-shaped and is equipped with a three-burner alcohol-fired stove and a double sink with hot and cold pressurized water and a fresh water pump, plus a refrigerator. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. There are two heads, one just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side that includes a shower and one on the port side in the aft cabin. The engine room is located centrally, under the companionway ladder. The cabin is trimmed in teak.[14]

Ventilation is provided by 16 ports that open and four hatches.[15]

For sailing the mainsail has a mainsheet traveler at the aft of the center cockpit, two winches for the genoa sheets and one for the mainsheet, plus two winches for the main and genoa halyards. The boat is equipped with a topping lift and slab reefing.[16]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 126.[17]

Operational history

In a 1994 review Richard Sherwood wrote that the Endeavour 40 “is a big, comfortable cruiser intended for extended trips. Note that both fuel and water capacity are high. Ballast/displacement ratio is 36 percent. The cockpit, like most center cockpits, is high and therefore dry.”[18]

Steve Knauth wrote a review for _Soundings Magazine_ in 2008 and stated, “the 1980s hull design features a modified fin keel with a skeg-protected rudder. The forefoot is slightly flatter than a traditional wineglass hull, and the 13-foot beam is carried well aft for form stability and interior volume. Sail area is 743 square feet, with a 338-square-foot main and 405-square-foot foretriangle. The center cockpit is farther aft than some designs, and it’s high and dry.”[19]

AVERIL CONSTANCE DEMUTH (1906–2000) was an English writer of children's stories, several of which have a fantasy element.

Life

Averil Constance Demuth was born on 5 January 1906 in Devon.

In the 1920s Demuth wrote words for music composed by Norman Demuth. However, her first story was _Trudi and Hansel_ (1938), set in the Austrian Tyrol. The girl Trudi, the boy Hansel, the cow Lotti, the dog Berni, the hen Griselda and the raven Kraak all go up the mountain to see Riese the giant, and then all come down again. Eleanor Farjeon gave the book a positive review: “Nora Lavrin's delicious crayon illustrations are the gay and unsophisticated complement to Averil Demuth's Tyrolean tale ... I like this book very much”.[1] A biographical sketch of Demuth appeared in the children's book club magazine _Young Wings_.[2] _The House in the Mountains_ (1940), illustrated by Grace Huxtable, was set in Kandergurgl, a little Swiss village. Max, Lisel and the other children encounter a witch, a wicked baron, Ruffin the dog, Mr Fooks the fox and Mr Trog the bear in a story with kidnappings, magic, secret passages and a ransom.[3]

In 1941 she was living in Heston, Cornwall.[4] She married Anthony Cockbain in Penzance in 1941, though he died in November 1942,[5] after only one year of marriage.[6]

_The Enchanted Islands_ (1941) was followed by _Sea Gypsies_ (1942), a holiday story of Peter and Petronel on an “enchanted island”, where the “little people” were as real as humans. The _Manchester Guardian_ reviewer welcomed the book: “This story is very well done”.[7]_The House of the Wind_(1953) was an adventure story set in Cornwall. One reviewer remarked that the story “spurns the hygenic world of normal holidays and enters into Lyonese and ancient magic without being objectionably fey”.[8]

In 1968 Demuth edited a book about the Minack Theatre: six people connected to the theatre described their activities, and Demuth herself gave a historical account of the theatre.[9] She died on 16 May 2000 in Penzance.

Devyn wrapped her arms tightly around her sister’s arm while staring fearfully at the man. She pulled her sister back to try to hide her from him  but he was already staring at the two of them with narrowed eyes.

“That’s the guy who murdered that group of people! They couldn’t find evidence that found him guilty but everyone knows he did it!” She rambled on quickly while tugging on her sister’s arm who was only staring at the man curiously.

“Really? I didn’t know,” she said while tilting her head.

Her sister glared fiercely at her. “How could you not know?! It was all over the news!” She yelled before squealing and pulling her sister forcefully causing Rachel to spill some of her drink. “He’s coming this way!”

Josh and Sana raised an eyebrow from the scene Devyn was creating before they followed Rachel’s gaze.

Josh smirked and stood up but Sana scooted all the way to the wall of the building with fear in her eyes.

“There you are! Where have you been?” Josh slung an arm around the man’s shoulder who was glaring down at Rachel as she began to eat some of the mozzarella sticks nonchalantly. “Ladies, this is my best friend Pierce. You probably already know who he is.”

“We’ve met before,” Rachel spoke up as she looked up at the two men. “I didn’t know who he was at the time.”

“That would explain why you aren’t scared,” Josh snickered and Pierced visibly tensed up; his jaw clenching and he sent a glare at Rachel who was only staring at him with curiosity.

“How are you not scared?” Devyn exclaimed looking at Josh with disbelief before squeaking and hiding behind her sister when Pierce merely look at her.

Josh began to noogie Pierce’s hair that was style in a long black ponytail, grinning widely as he did. “I’ve known him since he was little! He wouldn’t do such a thing!”

Sana and Devyn stared at the two in disbelief while Rachel stared at her drink with content before a looming figure rose up behind the two men.

“You two.” The looming figure growled in a low voice as Demie slammed both of their heads together forcefully. “How many times have I told you two to stop terrorizing my new customers?” He picked them up by the collars of their jackets and glared at them with fire in his eyes.

“I wasn’t doin’ anything to them!” Josh argued back but with one glance from the bartender he swallowed his voice.

“The girl didn’t order a drink the when i first took their orders.”

Josh gave him a shaky smile as he began to sweat nervously, stammering over his words as he tried to explain the situation but Demie was already looking at Pierce.

“You need to stop making them fear for their lives, so behave yourself or I’m kicking you out,” he threatened and Pierce averted his gaze from him while nodding.

Demie dropped the two on the floor without a care before looking at the girls with a kind smile who were staring at him with a mixture of relief and fear. “As long as I’m here they won’t do anything to you. Here or outside of the bar.” He looked to Sana who had been watching Josh as he sat on the ground still shaking. “Would you like a new drink?”

She looked from the drink to Josh who was slowly standing up and rubbing the sore spot on his butt. She didn’t feel dizzy or sick, so at least he was respectable.

“No, I’m fine.” She gave him a smile and he nodded.

“If you need anything else, including getting rid of these two, just come up to the bar,” he offered before leaving them to themselves.

Josh cursed quietly as he slowly sat back down in his seat while Pierce dusted himself off, still standing by the booth instead of sitting or leaving.

“He doesn’t have to be so rough,” Josh grumbled as he fixed his leather jacket.

“It seems like you two cause a lot of trouble,” Sana causing Josh to smirk and give her wink making her roll her eyes.

“I am trouble.”

Pierce continued to stare at Rachel who was still eating. His stare was making Devyn’s skin crawl so much she could not bare it any longer.

“Can you move? I need to use the bathroom,” Devyn tapped Rachel on the shoulder and she nodded, standing up beside Pierce who was watching her like a hawk. Devyn quickly left the booth and rushed to the bathroom before Rachel looked at Pierce unafraid.

“Do you wan to sit with us?”

“I’m leaving,” he said shortly before walking towards the door despite Josh’s protests. He left the bar, letting the door slam loudly yet no one else in the bar seemed to notice or care except for Demie who did not want the glass to break.

“Was it something I said?” Rachel asked Josh as she sat back down but he shook his head and shrugged.

“I don’t know, but I should go after him.” He stood up and went to leave before looking back at Sana with a smirk to which she sent him an questioning look. “I don’t have a phone number anymore since I gave you mine. Can I have yours?”

She stared at him deadpanned, looking unamused on the outside but laughing happily at the cheesy pickup line on the inside. “Fine.” She gave him her phone number and he placed the napkin in his pocket before flashing her fingers guns with a wide grin.

“I’ll see you around Dollface.” He winked before leaving the bar quickly and leaving the two girls by themselves.

“He doesn’t seem that bad,” Rachel smiled at Sana who bit her lip to stop herself from smiling.

“I just hope i don’t regret giving him my number.”

[U.S. President Donald Trump shortly after delivering his first State of the Union address Tuesday night. Democrats, and others, see Trump's criticisms of federal law enforcement as a dangerous attempt to undermine special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe.]

WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump is at war with his own law enforcement officials. More than ever before, he has backup from his party.

And law enforcement has started pushing back.

The day after Trump’s State of the Union address was dominated by an extraordinary series of developments in which the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice challenged Trump both on the record and through what appeared to be anonymous leaks to CNN.

The until-recently-unusual spectre of the “law-and-order” party attempting to undermine law enforcement agencies comes during the ongoing special counsel investigation of the Trump campaign’s links to the Russian government. Democrats, and others, see Republicans’ criticism as an attempt to protect the president by diminishing public faith in Robert Mueller’s probe.

“We’re no longer dealing in the realm of facts and reason when it comes to grave matters of security and justice,” Amanda Carpenter, a Republican former communications director for Sen. Ted Cruz, wrote in Politico. “We are, at Donald Trump’s behest, fully engulfed in a narrative explicitly designed to impugn and destroy the credibility of the law enforcement agency tasked with investigating the Trump campaign’s relationship with Russia during the 2016 election.”

In seeking short-term political gain, Trump and his allies will do long-term damage to federal law enforcement, said Matthew Miller, Justice spokesperson during the Obama administration. He pointed to the effects of conservatives’ attacks on other pillars of U.S. society.

“The first one they went after, starting decades ago, was the media. Now Republicans don’t believe what they hear on any channel other than Fox News. Then they moved to scientists … and now you see in polls Republicans who just don’t believe in scientists. They’ve turned on universities, and you see this rising discontent among conservatives about university. They are now turning on federal law enforcement,” Miller said in an interview.

“And if a significant percentage of the population — 35, 40 per cent — believes that federal law enforcement is biased, you’ll see those people less likely to co-operate with investigations, less likely to blow the whistle, and less likely to believe DOJ prosecutors when they sit on juries. It is extremely damaging to the long-term ability of those institutions to do their jobs.”

Others said Trump’s actions were risking deep damage to his own government.

“The growing and dizzying array of threats by Trump, and threats by officials to resign in response to Trump’s threats, suggest that this is not a stable situation (how could it be?),” Jack Goldsmith, an assistant attorney general in George W. Bush’s Republican administration, said on Twitter on Saturday.

“When Trump finally gets tired of being ignored and follows through on something stupid, the executive branch meltdown will be severe, to his enormous detriment (and hopefully not the country’s).”

The Republican attacks have been encouraged by increasingly conspiratorial Fox coverage centred on what hosts have called a “Deep State” attempting to topple Trump. Senior Republican politicians who once kept their distance from such arguments have begun to echo their language.

“Cleanse the organization,” House Speaker Paul Ryan said of the FBI on Tuesday.

The most dramatic developments on Wednesday centred on a secret four-page memorandum, authored by aides to pro-Trump chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Republican Rep. Devin Nunes, that Nunes claims will reveal “abuses” by the FBI in investigating Trump’s campaign.

Republican politicians have made a rallying cry of the phrase “release the memo.” (Ryan made his “cleanse” remark while speaking about the memo.) And they voted last week to do so despite the formal objections of a top Justice Department official who said a release “would be extraordinarily reckless” if Justice was not given a chance to review the memo and advise of possible harm.

Trump has not made a final decision. But when a Republican congressman urged him after his Tuesday speech to release the memo, he breezily said, “Don’t worry, 100 per cent.”

Trump’s hand-picked FBI director, Christopher Wray, and hand-picked Deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein, pleaded with Trump’s chief of staff on Monday not to release the memo, the Washington Post has reported. And then they went further.

In a move that has no obvious recent precedent, the FBI made its objections public on Wednesday — and effectively endorsed the view of Democrats who have called the memo highly misleading.

“As expressed during our initial review, we have grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy,” the FBI said.

Later in the afternoon, CNN broke two stories that further called into question Trump’s interactions with and statements about law enforcement.

The first reported that Trump had asked Rosenstein if Rosenstein was “on my team” — a request that echoes his widely criticized alleged request for “loyalty” from then-FBI director James Comey — and suggested to lawmakers questions they could ask Rosenstein to try to discredit the Mueller probe.

The second reported that Peter Strzok, the FBI agent removed from the Mueller probe over text messages in which he criticized Trump, had supported the FBI’s late-campaign decision to reopen the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails. Republicans, including Trump, had previously seized on Strzok’s texts as evidence of FBI bias against him.

All of this comes just two days after the FBI’s deputy director, Andrew McCabe, stepped down under fierce pressure from Trump, who had accused him of bias because his wife’s Democratic campaign for a seat in Virginia’s state senate received political donations from allies of Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, an ally of Clinton.

That, in turn, came four days after the New York Times reported Trump had ordered Mueller’s firing but backed off when White House counsel Donald McGahn threatened to quit.

All of the turmoil raised bipartisan fears that Trump would attempt another round of firings — of Rosenstein, with whom he is now engaged in a multi-front battle, or perhaps of Mueller once more. Democrats have warned that terminating Mueller would create the biggest crisis of Trump’s presidency.

If Trump refrains or is restrained from self-harm, however, his Fox-aided campaign to persuade Americans not to trust law enforcement may create an outcome that works for him personally even as it hurts the country more broadly.

If Republican voters have scant faith in Mueller and the Justice Department, their representatives are especially unlikely to pursue justice in the form of impeachment or resignation pressure, no matter what the facts say.

Said Miller: “When Bob Mueller finishes his work, he may have damning evidence against the president — and there will be a certain percentage of Americans who just refuse to believe him.”

Trump has attacked the credibility of the FBI and the Justice Department, including special counsel Robert Mueller's probe. The Republican party has also sided with Trump in these attacks, which they see as an attempt to protect President Trump by diminishing public faith in Robert Mueller's probe.

question:
Answer the following question based on the above passage:

Summarize Miller's thoughts.

answer: Miller thinks that Trump's actions are risking deep damage to his own government. He also thinks that if a significant percentage of the population believes that federal law enforcement is biased, they will be less likely to cooperate with investigations, less likely to blow the whistle, and less likely to believe DOJ prosecutors when they sit on juries.

text: The risk of deep damage is mentioned by other people than Miller.

refinement: He thinks that if a significant percentage of the population believes that federal law enforcement is biased, they will be less likely to cooperate with investigations, less likely to blow the whistle, and less likely to believe DOJ prosecutors when they sit on juries.

text: The answer doesn't mention Miller's other thoughts.

refinement: He thinks that if a significant percentage of the population believes that federal law enforcement is biased, they will be less likely to cooperate with investigations, less likely to blow the whistle, and less likely to believe DOJ prosecutors when they sit on juries. Should the investigation uncover damning evidence against Trump, Miller thinks there will be many Americans just refusing to believe. Miller thinks Trump is risking long-term damage to the federal law enforcement for personal short-term gain.

answer: Miller says that Trump and his allies will do long-term damage to federal law enforcement. He believes that it's easy for Trump to convince Republican voters not to trust the law enforcement. He also says that Trump undoing attitudes towards the media, sciences and universities suggests that the erosion of these institutions will lead to an obstinate few who staunchly believe nothing. He says that the erosion of trust in a democracy such as the U.S. would be functionally counter-intuitive. Miller also believes that Trump's attack on law enforcement will have an impact on the Mueller investigation.
