Declaration of Peace

Mother told that it had been almost seventy years since peace had been declared by the Leaders. The Anniversary was scheduled for the next week and the country prepared in committed silence. Candles sparked to life in windows, streamers hung low over the streets, and the men began to pin their regulation Doves to their marching uniforms. Dad had begun to practice marching with the rest of the men for the annual Reenactment. Mother wouldn’t let him where his Dove in the house though, even if it was regulation.

Mother moved absentmindedly when the Reenactments approached, she seemed distracted and her eyes turned red. She would mumble things to herself while moving about the house like “The men always come back alright” or “It’s An Honor when they stay.” Most of the women used the same phrases to console each other while the men were gone; seemed like Mother was practicing. For most though the excitement became palpable the closer the Reenactment drew; it was everywhere we went.

The Colours of the year flew in the streets: a regal purple, gold, and white. The newspapers carried the Colours high and low, paperboys screamed out the bulletin. Houses prepped and dressed to look the part and popular fashion followed to compliment. Patriotism rose in the Secondary Schools as it did that time of the year; they bragged about the bonds they would purchase for the celebration. After the schools let out, factories like Dad’s lit up and the Colours were cut into fabric for the uniforms. The men’s Class A emulated power: Purple suit with gold twine and white rank, the men looked kingly that year.

The marching improved daily and I with my young peers helped distribute plastic flowers to the men as they began to leave. The synthetic colours sparkled in the sunlight as the men accepted them and kept strutting.

The night Dad left, he stooped to hug me and say good bye. His eyes crinkled like he was laughing as he assured me that he would come back soon enough; it was only a quick Reenactment. The purple of his collar shadowed his face; he seemed resigned under his thin happiness. Standing he turned to Mother, and opened his hand for her; she gingerly took his Dove and embraced him.

“I have to go.” He said. Mother released and he was gone.  The gold trim on his coat shimmered in the moon as he fell into formation.

“It was An Honor,” Mother said, her moonlit cheek dry in the wind.

title: A mini Dystopia.

question: What is going on beneath the surface?

answer: It appears that peace may not prevail. If they have been at peace for 70 years why do the men have to leave their families?

text: Phrasing the answer in the form of a question is confusing for the reader.

refinement: It appears that peace may not prevail. Even if they have been at peace for 70 years, the men have to leave their families for an undisclosed reason.

text: “I have to go.” He said. Mother released and he was gone

text: Dad had begun to practice marching with the rest of the men for the annual Reenactment.

text: Mother told that it had been almost seventy years since peace had been declared by the Leaders.

answer: From the passage, it can be inferred that there is a sense of patriotic duty and tradition in the town associated with the annual Reenactment. The excitement leading up to the Reenactment indicates that it is both something to celebrate and to mourn. This can be inferred from the phrases used by the people, such as "An Honor," "they always come back alright," and "they always return." It seems that underneath everything, there is an underlying sadness and acknowledgement that the men may not return.

text: She would mumble things to herself while moving about the house like “The men always come back alright” or “It’s An Honor when they stay.” Most of the women used the same phrases to console each other

text: “I have to go.” He said. Mother released and he was gone.

answer: From the description, it is clear that a great deal of importance is placed on the annual Reenactment, and that those who take part come back alive are seen with much reverence. However, beneath the surface it seems that people are being coerced into the Reenactment with fears of what will happen if they do not participate. The people who are taking part are not happy - the protagonist's mother seems distant and nervous, and the protagonist's father looks resigned.

question: Why is mother absentminded and red-eyed?

answer: It's inferred her depression is amplified by the countdown to the Reenactment.

text: "Amplify" implies the cause of the depression is something other than the reenactment. But it is shown that the cause is the reenactment.

refinement: It's inferred her depression is caused by the countdown to the Reenactment.

text: There needs context on the fact that the reenactment is possibly dangerous for the men.

refinement: It's inferred her depression is caused by the countdown to the Reenactment. During this time, the women would console themselves by saying that the men will "come back alright".

refinement: The reenactment implies a potential danger to her husband, possibly rendering him unable to return.

answer: She knows that father will have to leave soon after the Re-enactment.

text: It has to imply that the reenactment is dangerous for the men.

refinement: She knows that father may not return after joining the Re-enactment.

question: Why won't mother allow the father to wear the Dove inside the house?

answer: Mother does not permit the father to wear the Dove inside the house because it is an honour associated with the reenactment, which means that she does not want to diminish it in any way.

text:
Apparently, the dove will serve as a parting gift of the men for their respective wives: "he turned to Mother, and opened his hand for her; she gingerly took his Dove and embraced him."

It is implied that Mother does not want to see the dove since she is worried about the reenactment, and so the dove would serve as a visual reminder of something she is dreading.

refinement: Mother does not permit the father to wear the Dove inside the house because it reminds her of the reenactment which will take him away from her.

text: Mother wouldn’t let him where his Dove in the house though, even if it was regulation.

answer: She must dislike what it symbolises.

text: he seemed resigned under his thin happiness. Standing he turned to Mother, and opened his hand for her; she gingerly took his Dove and embraced him.

text: Mother wouldn’t let him where his Dove in the house though, even if it was regulation.

answer: Mother does not want the father to be reminded of the possibility that he might not come back from the Reenactment. The Dove is considered a memorial to those who have fallen in battle and she wants to protect her husband from the potential heartbreak of losing someone he cares about.

text: Mother is consoling herself (“The men always come back alright” or “It’s An Honor when they stay.” ), so her motivation for not wanting to see the dove is for herself.

refinement: Mother does not want to be reminded of the possibility that Father might not come back from the Reenactment.

text: Mother wouldn’t let him where his Dove in the house though, even if it was regulation.

question: Where is father going?

answer: He must be leaving town and it seems it may be on a military mission as he has fallen into formation.

text: Dad had begun to practice marching with the rest of the men for the annual Reenactment.

text: The gold trim on his coat shimmered in the moon as he fell into formation.

text: No answer.

refinement: Father left to join the reenactment, which appears to be some form of a military procedure associated with the anniversary of peace. It is implied that the men who join may not return.

answer: Father is going off to war.

text: There is no specific implication or certainty that Father is going to a war. Though it is implied that the reenactment is something that men may not come back from.

refinement: Father left to join the reenactment, which appears to be some form of a military procedure associated with the anniversary of peace. It is implied that the men who join may not return.

question: Write a ~14 sentence summary.

answer:
The narrator’s mother tells him that it is almost 70 years since peace had been declared by the Leaders. The anniversary is next week. The men are practising their marching for the Re-enactment. They must wear their doves on their lapels but mother won’t allow the dove in the house.

Mother is absentminded and her eyes red. She mutters things like “the men always come back” and “it’s an honor when they stay”. This is what all the women say to console each other when the men are gone.

The streets are draped in purple, white and gold. Then Dad leaves. He says that he will be back soon. He seems resigned under his thin happiness. Mother takes his Dove and embraces him. Then he is gone. “It was an honor” she says.

“It was An Honor,” Mother said, her moonlit cheek dry in the wind.

answer: This short story takes place in a society ruled by a true peace following a major and bloody war. Every year, the men (who were drafted during the war) dress in their uniforms and march in a reenactment of the victory. The children help pass out flowers to them and it is a time of celebration, patriotism, and color. However, when the main character's father marches off for the reenactment, they know there is a chance he may not return. The emotional dynamic of the piece explores the deep bonds of grief and loss, as well as the fear that accompanies not knowing if someone will make it home.

text: There is no confirmation that the society has "true peace" and that the war had been bloody.

refinement: It had been almost seventy years since peace had been declared by the Leaders..

text:
There is no confirmation that the men who partake in the reenactment are the same men who were drafted in the war. And if the "70-years after the war" is taken into account, it would imply that most of the men who took part in the war would be extremely old by the time of the story.

Also, there is no confirmation that the reenactment is that of the victory march. The story does not divulge what the men are reenacting.

answer: In a dystopian future, citizens celebrate the anniversary of the peace treaty, which was declared seventy years ago. Every year, the men leave to take part in a reenactment, and many women prepare and say good-bye as their loved one's leave, knowing that they may not come back. This year, the men wear suits in regal purple, gold and white, and those left behind keep watch as they march away.

answer: The narrator's world is ruled by a society that celebrates the anniversary of their declaration of peace by reenacting it with a marching parade. The men march off to war once a year, knowing they might not return. The protagonist's father goes off to war on the anniversary celebration day, while the main character's mother watches sadly, knowing not if or when he will return. The celebration is marked by patriotic decorations and clothing, with a focus on showing respect towards those who risk their lives for the country.

text: It is not confirmed if the marching parade by itself is the entirety of the reenactment, much of the narrative implies there is more to the reenactment than marching (as marching by itself is safe, and yet it is implied that there is a danger from which the Father may not return from)

answer: In the mini dystopia described, the people celebrate the anniversary of a supposed peace accord between warring factions every year with a reenactment of soldiers marching. However, for those left behind, the experience is bittersweet, as they must say goodbye to loved ones sent off to potentially die in battle. The actual reenactment is punctuated by optimistic colours and plastic flowers, and soldiers depart to what they know may be their last day alive with a resigned smile.

“Our story is about a town, a small town, and the people who live in the town,” narrates Jughead in _Riverdale_’s opening lines. “I’m _Breakfast at Tiffany’s_,” Veronica tells Archie and Betty, “but this place is strictly _In Cold Blood._” Yet as Betty and Jughead muckrake town secrets and Archie gains the confidence of Veronica’s mob family, the Riverdale we see week after week does not seem so tiny. How is it possible that the town isn’t big enough to support a single drive-in movie theater, yet Riverdale teenagers are a significant market for the party drug jingle jangle? When Sheriff Keller doesn’t call in reinforcements from the state police or the FBI to investigate the Black Hood’s killing spree, does that mean Riverdale is large enough to have its own homicide unit? The town’s mysteries go deeper than the buried secrets in Pickens Park, and so we decided to investigate a pressing question: Just how big is Riverdale?

Our first set of clues comes from the terrain of Riverdale itself, especially along the banks of the rolling Sweetwater River. Even if the downtown area is small, the town must encompass a wide landscape to have such a diverse river basin.

When Archie and Ms. Grundy find a calm spot on the banks for a picnic, they look across the water to the mountains.

Cheryl and Jason float down the river … until they hit the rapids.

Hermione Lodge summons Archie to a massive bluff overlooking sharp rocks for a secret tête-à-tête.

And Betty and Jughead find a swamp deep enough to sink a car.

Further hints come from Riverdale’s famous maple syrup industry. Until recent technological advances, maple syrup production was a side hustle for many rural farmers. For the dynastic Blossom Maple Farms to have the capital of a modern corporate producer like Vermont’s Sweet Tree Holdings, the farm would need to tap 200,000 trees on 26,000 acres of land, or roughly 40 square miles of forest. For perspective, Albany is just shy of 22 square miles.

The size of the Blossom farm alone would suggest that Riverdale is a rural town surrounded by miles and miles of privately owned woods. Admittedly, at the time of Clifford Blossom’s death, the business was heavily subsidized by imported heroin from Montreal, but how else was he going to undercut the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers?

Archie’s frantic drive to the hospital after Fred’s shooting further emphasizes Riverdale’s middle-of-nowhere feel. The ambulance never comes to Pop’s Chock’lit Shoppe — is Archie too terrified to wait or is the emergency-services area too large? — and the hospital is nearly abandoned when Archie drags Fred through the doors.

CONCLUSION: Bigger than Albany with a river large enough for a ’90s thriller, yet too small for a fully staffed medical center.

_Riverdale_ gives us contradictory hints about the town’s population size. Despite financial issues after Fred’s shooting, Pop’s is the only restaurant in town. (The Southside has the Whyte Worm, but its blatant gang affiliation limits its customer base.)

Pop’s is the go-to spot for hot dates, pre-wrestling egg-white omelettes, and private poker games with visiting crime bosses. A more bustling town would have more bars and restaurants, no? The residents of a luxury apartment like the Pembrooke would presumably demand a high-end eatery, at the very least.

Meanwhile, Fox Forest is home to an active gay cruising scene. As Vulture’s Jackson McHenry asks, “Is Riverdale’s population large enough to support a thriving backwoods sex scene? Do gay men from the local region drive over to Fox Forest to get their kicks?” These are essential questions, ones that go unanswered after Kevin Keller returns to swiping on GrindEm.

Riverdale’s school system also raises suspicions that the town is not so small. When Mayor McCoy closes Southside High, Principal Weatherbee explains that its students will be transferred to “other schools in the district,” including Riverdale High School. The school district is therefore large enough to need at least three high schools. This suggests that Riverdale is a larger city, perhaps along the lines of Clarkstown, New York (two public high schools, 87,000 residents).

CONCLUSION: Too small for anything but burgers and milkshakes, but somehow also big enough to be the regional hub for secluded woodland sex and to host a crosstown wrestling rivalry.

And now we reach the Greendale problem. Greendale is repeatedly mentioned as the next town over from Riverdale, yet it is far enough away that: (1) Jughead and Archie must travel for hours to get there, and (2) there is a sketchy rest stop along the way.

How far apart are these two towns? Far enough that Ms. Grundy can openly teach in Greendale after being run out of Riverdale for sleeping with a student, and far enough that Jughead believes Penny Peabody won’t return once he dumps her over the town line. Greendale’s town center must not only be a significant distance from Riverdale, but also large enough to have all the resources its residents need. Otherwise, wouldn’t Ms. Grundy risk running into Riverdale parents while shopping at the regional Mallmart?

Also worth noting: Riverdale is close enough to New York City that Archie can bop down to Greenwich Prep, beat up Nick St. Clair, and get home in time to meet Veronica for cheese fries at Pop’s. So how rural can it really be?

Perhaps the most perplexing clue is the Lodge Industries SoDale project. The Southside development will create 40,000 square feet of retail space,entertainment venues, and modern luxury condos in a bid to spark aggressive gentrification and displace the Southside residents. Yet the town’s primary industries appear to be maple syrup production, construction, teaching, journalism, food service, government, and illegal activity (only one of which pays well), so who exactly will SoDale serve? Is Riverdale close enough to Manhattan to be a commuter city? Are they trying to attract Glamazon’s next headquarters?

CONCLUSION: Slightly more rural than Croton-on-Hudson, probably? Yet still enough of a midsize city to lure Brooklynites into condos.

With such wide-ranging conclusions, our __ analysis ultimately raises more questions than it answers. Does Riverdale’s devotion to Pop’s indicate a local quirk or a lack of options? Does Jughead think town lines are actually force fields? What’s the cost for a SoDale condo, and do they have hardwood floors? Like the true identity of the Riverdale Reaper, we may never know for sure.

text:
I know I had come across true love once, and I know it because the feeling still burns in my bones. I met him at the age of 4, his name was Elijah. Never in a million years would I have thought that I would see him fade into colorless dust, brushing away to coat the earth and never be found, leaving his family like a shipwreck in a never-ending tide. Elijah, oh how much I could have done for you, how much I could have done to save you. But in my seven year old shoes, I stood paralyzed as menacing arms gripped mine, with a scolding voice that replayed over and over in my head. One day, we were going to stare deep into each-others eyes, telling ourselves it was where we wanted to be for the rest of our lives. We were going to run in our adult shoes, playing tag, until our legs didn't work anymore. That was our true fate, not this. But now I live with a demon always sitting on my shoulder. He likes to laugh at me for what I've done, reminding me of the horrors over again, just as soon as I try to move on. He binds me with chains of silence, he binds me with a closed mind. He draws the man who burnt my clothes, the man who burnt your life. Elijah, I could have saved you.
Elijah... One day, I hope you will forgive me.

But do you remember our last day together, Elijah? The one where we walked home from school through fields of gold, spinning the earth beneath our feet? Do you remember the sun and how it melted the clouds beneath it, revealing the freckles on our faces? Our hands intertwined unconsciously, as our tiny hearts beat like racing drums. We ran until our laughter knocked us down, and stayed until the sky was coated with marmalade. If only we could have frozen the moment and never moved on. If only we could have both stayed in our seven year old bodies. If only I had never been given the opportunity to grow up alone.

I wish our hands stayed intertwined the whole way through. I wish we closed our eyes, and imagined the sun was melting us into the fields of gold. I wish my little legs didn't learn to escape. I wish it was me instead of you, so that you could have run home to your family, letting them know everything was okay.
And in this moment, I wish the fires that covered you could dry my tears.

I searched for you in the eyes of the sun, in the dancing wheat that feathered my eyes, in the butterfly wings that flapped my hair gently behind my ears. I searched for you in the cotton tails of the milk weeds, parting from their buds, to say hello as soon as they said goodbye, soon brushing through familiar cornstalks, to reveal your marble face. Oh Elijah, how I wait for the day your smile will bring the field back to life, but all I see are charcoal dusted, broken stalks, with a demon dancing on top of a mountain of ember lit ashes, acting as if nothing were wrong, as if this place were a sanctuary of good dreams, where kids like us could play all day and all night long and never be taken away. Elijah, I can't look at those milk weeds anymore, because they always say hello, and I never got to say good-bye.

The heat of Summer always reminded me of the comfort of my mother, but now, it greets me like the trees of Winter. Somehow I stay horrendously captivated in Summer's reign, climbing through Peter as you once did, with trembling soles that found it hard to grip his bark, hoping to keep balance long enough to pick a peach that matched the colors of the run down sky. Remember when you would take a big bite, back cradled against Peter's torso, trying to caress the crescent moon into the empty space? I guess the real question is, how could you ever forget it? You were my summer, Elijah, and now it's nothing but a bittersweet memory.

They tell me to try and remember. They tell me it's okay, and that all I have to do is tell them what I saw. I close my eyes, but I can't see anything through the screaming of red and orange flares. He sits beside me, gripping my skin tight, hanging sharp teeth over a dirtied lip. He threatens me with hell, and as he threatens me with fire, I feel familiar fingers curling into mine.

“C'mon, don't look so sad!”

“But, Elijah... don't you understand?”

He turns his head upwards to see me, and sits down, picking dandelions out of the ground.

“Yeah I do... I miss playing tag.”

“Isn't there anyone there you can play with?”

“Yeah, but they aren't as fun as you and they can't run as fast.”

I cry as he holds out a group of dandelions.

“But you're getting older now, April.”

I take them.

“Elijah...”

His fingers curl around mine.

“It gets harder and harder to hold your hand.”

“But I'll always hold yours.”

I see a tear roll down his cheek.

“Can I ask you a question, Eli?”

“Yeah?”

“Why aren't you mad at me?”

He stops pulling the grass and looks at me.

“You're not the bad man.”

“...But I could've saved you.”

“April, do you remember the sun and how it melted the clouds beneath it?”

“Elijah, the real question is, how could I ever forget it?”

title: "Elijah"

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

Summarize the last day that Elijah and April spent together.

answer: She went to school. Elijah went home. Their last day together was when they walked home from school where Elijah turned to dandelions. The dandelions reminded her of the sunlight melting the clouds and their laughter when they ran out of energy and lay down in the grass. Elijah would always pick dandelions and hand it to April. When they became adults they wanted to be more together than they knew they could.

text: The first two lines are unnecessary.

refinement: Their last day together was when they walked home from school where Elijah turned to dandelions. The dandelions reminded her of the sunlight melting the clouds and their laughter when they ran out of energy and lay down in the grass. Elijah would always pick dandelions and hand it to April. When they became adults they wanted to be more together than they knew they could.

text: Elijah turning into dandelions is unattested,

When they became adults they wanted to be more together than they knew they could.

text: Everything beyond the first sentence is unattested,

refinement: Their last day together was when they walked home from school.

text: The answer could mention that they were holding hands.

refinement: Their last day together was when they walked home from school holding hands.

answer: The last day that Elijah and April spent together was filled with laughter, summer sunlight, and playing tag. Elijah talked about how much he wanted to play with others, but he thought that April was the most fun. Later, they talked about how eventually their hands would no longer hold together and how April should have saved Elijah from dying. Elijah assured her that she wasn't the bad person and that he would always hold her hand.

answer: Elijah and April went to school and then walked home, spinning the earth beneath their feet. They ran until they fell, laughing. They played tag until they got home. They sat under a peach tree eating. Elijah shows April a group of dandelions and tells her that they get older and it gets harder to hold her hand. April asks him why he isn't mad at her. Elijah points out that she is not the bad man.

answer: On their last day together, the two seven-year-olds, Elijah and April, walked home from school together through fields of gold. The sun was shining bright revealing their freckles. The two walked hand-in-hand. They ran around and stayed there in the fields until the sunset.

answer: The last day that April and Elijah spent together was walking through fields of gold and spinning the earth beneath their feet. Elijah shared with April that he missed playing tag with other people more than playing with April, but nevertheless, he would always hold her hand. During this time, April began to cry, not knowing if she could save Elijah when it mattered most. However, Elijah reminded her of all the good times they had together, including running in the fields, picking dandelions, and being under the warmth of the sun. Elijah showed April that even though hard things were happening, she wasn't the bad person.

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

What emotions does April experience?

answer: She has immense guilt, but also wants to move on and doesn't want him to think she is sad by leaving the milk weeds. She also seems a bit angry that she didn't save Elijah.

text: The part about the milk weeds is confusing without context and unnecessary.

refinement: She has immense guilt, but also wants to move on. She also seems a bit angry that she didn't save Elijah.

answer: April experiences sadness and responsibility for Elijah's death.

answer: April experiences bittersweet emotions of sadness, guilt, regret, and longing. She aches for what could have been and feels regretful for the actions she could have taken but didn't.

text: The answer could be more specific about what it is April regrets.

refinement: April experiences bittersweet emotions of sadness, guilt, regret, and longing. She aches for what could have been and feels regretful that she wasn't able to save Elijah.

answer: April is rather upset that Elijah won't be around. She recollects her last day with him, the one where they hold hands and walk back from school. She keeps blaming herself for not being able to save Elijah.

answer: April experiences sadness and guilt. She feels guilty that she could have saved Elijah when he was taken but she did nothing and he burnt to death. She is sad that her last memories of him are surrounded by flames and dandelions instead of laughter and sunshine.

This Holiday Season I’m channeling my inner ATTIC ELF and while I’m playing WHITE CHRISTMAS on a continuous loop on my CD player, I want to  tell you the inspiration behind my favorite family, The San Valentino’s of Manhattan,

My parents split when I was an infant and both remarried. My parents are of Irish extraction, my stepmother the same. My stepfather, though, was first generation Italian/American. This made for some memorable Christmas get-togethers during my childhood.

Christmas Eve was usually spent with the Italian relatives, starting at around 4 p.m. with the first course of the Feast of the 7 fishes. Every hour on the hour for 7 full hours a different fish course was served by my Sicilian-speaking-only step-grandmother.And with every course, a new bottle of wine would be served, so that by the time my mother, stepfather and I left, most of the relatives were gluttonously full and three sheets to the wind drunk. It made for many an interesting evening, especially when they all started spewing in Italian just so my mother and I couldn’t understand what was being said. (P.S. most of it was about us!!!)

Christmas day was always spent with Irish relatives, starting with Midnight Mass Christmas eve,( and yes, we traveled to them as soon as the last fish course was finished on the Italo side.) and culminating in a day of drinking and eating. And when I say drinking I mean it in the purely alcoholic sense. Unlike with the stepfamily, my mother’s family consumed more booze than food. And they started drinking earlier, too. Like noon early. There would only be two courses for dinner, which was usually served at 5 without any food before that, because my Irish grandmother didn’t want any of us to spoil our dinners and eat too much before the meal was served. I never understood how she didn’t equate the falling asleep drunks at the dinner table with the lack of food to sop up the afternoon booze. By seven p.m. most of them would be passed out in various lounge chairs and couches, the Yule Log blasting Christmas music in the background to drown out the yelling coming from the kitchen where my mother, her mother, and my aunt would be fighting about….anything and everything.

From the time I realized my family was different from all the other families in my school I started asking Santa for a different family every year for Christmas. The number one item on my Santa wish list was : a family that didn’t fight, drink, or yell. I think I actually wrote that for eight years straight. When I never got the family I wished for, I stopped writing it down.

But I never stopped wishing for it.

It wasn’t until I was married and made my own family that my wish turned into my reality.

When I wrote my very first Christmas romance, A KISS UNDER THE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS, I invented the family I wished for as a child. The San Valentinos are loyal and loving and they do fight – but only in the best sense of the word because they fight for each other, not against one another. I got my wished-for family twice: One, I married; the other I created.

A KISS UNDER THE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

[]

Gia San Valentino is the beloved baby in her large, loud, and loving Italian family. Family dramas, passion, and food rule the San Valentino clan, and Gia takes it all in stride, her family the touchstone of her life. But with Christmas fast approaching she longs for a life and home of her own with a husband and _bambini_ she can love and spoil. The single scene doesn’t interest her and the men her well-meaning family introduce her to are all wise guy wanna-bes, with old world views on women – the pregnant and barefoot kind – just the type of man she’s trying to avoid.

When Gia lends a helping hand at her neighborhood parish’s Christmas Festival she meets a guy who has all her requirements for perfect-man status. Tall, sweet, good looking, and from a big Italian family of his own, it seems she might finally have found a man she can give her heart to. When a miscommunication has her believing he’s the new parish priest, her happily-ever-after hopes evaporate because he’s the proverbial forbidden fruit.

Or is he?

Answer the following question based on the above passage:

What does the text say about the way the Italians celebrate Christmas?

answer: The text describes the Italian-American relatives of the author as excessive drinkers who enjoy seafood and lots of wine at Christmas.

text: The response contains inaccurate information.

refinement: The text describes the Italian-American relatives of the author as excessive drinkers who enjoy seafood and lots of wine at Christmas. This festive atmosphere includes fighting and yelling in Italian, but there is a loving core to the night.

answer:
Christmas Eve always started with a heavy feast, the Italian relatives partaking in a seven-hour-long, seafood fest. Each course was served with a bottle of wine and by the time the passed-out family members didn't show up for dinner anymore, there were tons of leftover fishes and loads of alcohol for the next day to bring up. The fun was only had by the male members of the family, striking divides and forging walls between the women.
The Irish relatives partook in Midnight Mass, and drunk multiple bottles of liquor. When the relatives started falling asleep in various seats, the tree music that was used to drown out arguing from behind the kitchen became louder and louder.

text: The response contains irrelevant information.

answer:
The people who were a part of this author's mother's Irish family got drunk too early. Almost every detail of the Christmas celebrations start with Mass Christmas Eve, with midnight Mass and terminating in an all-night-long drinking session that goes well into the next morning.

There was no service before 3pm because the family was drunk at noon. The Christmas dinner was slopped at 5 in the evening, while the friends of the family were actually not dining, but mostly passed out due to their alcoholic intake. On this Christmas, their fighting is elevated to the peak, with their grandmother loudly cursing these people.

It was 1:30am after a grueling Day 3 on the Inca trail. I haven't pooped since day 1. I had hoped to hold it until we returned to the hotel the following night.  But I knew when I crawled into my bag that this night might have other plans.  It was such a strange mixture of feelings.  On the one hand, there was almost an inevitability that pooping would happen this night.  I was afraid if I stayed in the tent there might be an extremely embarrassing situation. On the other hand, I was freezing and I didn't want to leave the tent.  I didn't want to wake up my travel companion.  I was afraid that the poop might be a messy affair, and just maybe I could hold it for another day.

After hours of tossing and turning, I decided I must get up.  I put my freezing FiveFingers on my already freezing feet.  Upon exiting the tent, I'm greeted by the most haunting, beautiful gift of a vista.  It was a clear night, the first since we had started hiking.  Machu Picchu Mountain was visible bathed in silvery moonlight.  In the distance were the snow capped peaks of the Andes, also reflecting the brilliance of June's supermoon.   I saw constellations I've always read about but never seen: the Crab, Pegasus and his Great Square--even Orion was here!  I didn't expect to see him in the Southern Hemisphere!  The Big Dipper, low on the horizon and upside down, pointing towards home.  And Cruz, the beautiful Southern Cross.  CSN kept repeating in my head--"When you see the Southern Cross for the first time.  You understand now why you came this way.  The truth that you've been running from is so small, but it's as big as the promise, the promise of a coming day!"  The truth is that I'm a worthwhile person.

I could've stood mesmerized there for hours, except that I had a job to do, a biological imperative.

I walked up a lonely trail to the restroom.  My experience with the free restrooms on the trail was that they were nasty.  This one proved to be no exception.  I open the door and look in.  There's shit all over the floor, but it doesn't matter.  This is my destiny.  There's no toilet, just a porcelain hole in the ground.  I drop trou, being as careful as I can not to let my hiking pants touch the turdy tile floor.  I squat slightly, with no idea what's going to happen.  I'm afraid it's going to be a drawn out watery affair, and I will have to stay in this tiring squatting position a long time while my insides flush out.   I'm afraid I might slip on the floor, damp with piss and excrement.  I'm afraid I might miss the hole and make the room even more unsanitary.  Was I standing in exactly the right position?

It was the moment of truth.  In less than a minute, there was a solid compact mass of well-formed shit.  It felt like a beautiful black birth.  I knew in an instant that that was going to be all, and it was enough.  It seemed to fall towards the porcelain hole for an eternity.  And…

Bullseye.

My job done, I wipe (though I hardly had to).  I open the door and walk to the hand washing station.  When I'm done, I turn to revel in the light of the moon, the stars, and the promise of a coming day.

title: Pooping On The Inca Trail [500 words, OC]

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

According to the passage, why is the floor of the toilet covered with poo?

answer: It may be implied that the narrator might have defecated earlier.

text: The passage does not provide an answer to that question. This answer is unattested.

answer: The narrator is a tourist visiting Machu Pichu Mountain. He was on the Inca trail on Day Three of his journey when he felt the urge to poop. He held it until he and his companions returned to the hotel since the trail was not conducive to performing such duties. However, when the night came the narrator was still unwilling to leave his hotel to poop as it was quite cold. Fearing he might poop in his pants, the narrator decided to brave the cold and head for the toilet. The floor of the toilet was covered with poo when the narrator got there. Just like any other public restroom, it seems the users do not care how they use it. Also, the seems the cleaning schedules are not very well maintained.

answer: The person who used the toilet earlier did not wipe.

answer: The protagonist has not pooped since Day 1 of the Inca Trail, and was afraid of an embarrassing situation if he did not poop while camping. Finally deciding to get up late at night, the protagonist finds that there is fecal matter all over the floor of the toilet. He is able to relieve himself, however, and the result is a well-formed, compact mass of poop.

answer: Because the narrator had not pooped since the beginning of the Incan trail, and they could not contain it any longer. The narrator tried to hold it in but ultimately decided it had to come out. The experience was a rush combined with fear and beauty.
