The ANASTASIAN WAR was fought from 502 to 506 between the Byzantine Empire and the Sasanian Empire. It was the first major conflict between the two powers since 440, and would be the prelude to a long series of destructive conflicts between the two empires over the next century.

Prelude

Several factors underlay the termination of the longest period of peace the Eastern Roman and the Sassanid Empire ever enjoyed. The Persian king Kavadh I needed money to pay his debts to the Hephthalites who had helped him regain his throne in 498/499. The situation was exacerbated by recent changes in the flow of the Tigris in Lower Mesopotamia, sparking famines and flood. When the Roman emperor Anastasius I refused to provide any help, Kavadh tried to gain the money by force.[1]

War

[Roman and Persian Empires in 500, also showing their neighbors, many of whom were dragged into wars between the great powers.]

Kavadh I's campaign of 502

In 502, Kavadh quickly captured the unprepared city of Theodosiopolis, perhaps with local support; the city was in any case undefended by troops and weakly fortified.[2] Martyropolis also fell in the same year. Kavadh then besieged the fortress-city of Amida through the autumn and winter (502-503) and captured it after a lengthy siege, although the defenders were unsupported by troops.[3] Many people, particularly the population of Amida, were deported to Pars and Khuzestan in Persia, in particular, to the new city of Veh-az-Amid Kavad (Arrajan).[4]

Anastasius' campaign of 503 and Kavad I's counterattack

The Byzantine emperor Anastasius I dispatched an army in May 503 against the Sasanians. The army was the largest Roman force in the East since Julian's invasion of Persia. The force gathered at Edessa and Samosata. It operated in three divisions under _magister militum per Orientem_ Areobindus, _strategos_ Patricius, and Hypatius. Hypatius and Patricius attacked Amida, which was held by a 3,000-strong garrison under Glones. Areobindus, together with Romanus and the Arab _phylarch_ Asouades (Aswad) (probably a Kindah leader) attacked Nisibis, in which Kavadh I was residing.[5][6] Procopius also mentions Celer as a fourth commander.[7] Notable officers associated with this force include _“hyparch”_ Apion I (the Egyptian),[8] _comes_ Justin (the future emperor),[9] Patriciolus and his son Vitalian (who later revolted against Anastasius), the Colchian Pharesmanes, and the Goths Godidisklus and Bessas.[10]

Initially, Areobindus gained the upper hand in Nisibis, but Kavadh I's counterattack defeated him, plundered his fort Apadna, and forced him to retreat westward; Hypatius and Patricius attempted to assist him, but it was too late.[11] They failed to join with Areobindus and were decisively defeated between Apadna and Tell Beshme and retreated to Samosata. According to Zacharias, their cavalry suffered heavily during the retreat, falling from the cliffs of mountains. Kavadh continued westward to Constantia but failed to capture it, though received supplies from its inhabitants. In early September, Kacadh reached near Edessa. Areobindus rejected Kavadh I's demand of of gold in exchange for peace. Sasanians and Lakhmidss overran much of Osrhoene but attempts to attack the fortified city failed. Meanwhile, Byzantine forces under Pharesmanes attacked Amida, who killed the Sasanian commander Glones through cunning. This, together with Hunnic incursions, the arrival of Byzantine reinforcements, and Kavadh I's lack of supplies, all forced him to withdraw to Persia. This further contributed to the reputation of Edessa as being impregnable.[12][13] Meanwhile, the _dux_ of Osrhoene, Timostratus, defeated the Lakhmids, and the Tha'labites (Byzantine Arabs) attacked Lakhmid capital al-Hira.[14]

Anastasius' renewed assault

In the summer of 503, Anastasius sent reinforcements under _magister officiorum_ Celer and canceled taxes from Mesopotamia and Osrhoene, while Hypatius and Apion were recalled. Patricius moved to Amida, defeated a force sent against him, and invested the city; Celer joined him later in the spring of 504. While the siege was ongoing, Celer raided Beth Arabaye, while Areobindus raided Arzanene. Sasanian weakness at this point is apparent by defections to the Byzantine side by the renegade Constantine, a certain Arab chief Adid, and the Armenian Mushlek. The Byzantines eventually captured Amida.[15][16]

Peace treaty

In the same year, an armistice was agreed as a result of an invasion of Armenia by the Huns from the Caucasus. Negotiations between the two powers took place, but such was the distrust that in 506 the Romans, suspecting treachery, seized the Persian officials; once released, the Persians preferred to stay in Nisibis.[17] In November 506, a treaty was finally agreed, but little is known of what the terms of the treaty were. Procopius states that peace was agreed for seven years, and it is likely that some payments were made to the Persians.[18] The Persians did not keep Byzantine territory and no annual tribute was paid so it seems the peace treaty was not harsh on the Byzantines.[19]

Aftermath

The Roman generals blamed many of their difficulties in this war on their lack of a major base in the immediate vicinity of the frontier, a role filled for the Persians by Nisibis (which until its secession in 363 had served the same purpose for the Romans), and in 505 Anastasius therefore ordered the building of a great fortified city at Dara. The dilapidated fortifications were also upgraded at Edessa, Batnae and Amida.[20]

Although no further large-scale conflict took place during Anastasius's reign, tensions continued, especially while work continued at Dara. This construction project was to become a key component of the Roman defenses, and also a lasting source of controversy with the Persians, who complained that its construction violated the treaty agreed in 422, by which both empires had agreed not to establish new fortifications in the frontier zone. Anastasius, however, pursued the project, deflecting Kavadh's complaints with money.[21] The Persians were in any case unable to stop the work, and the walls were completed by 507/508.[22]

title: Anastasian War

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

Why did the Persian king, Kavadh I, invade Roman territories?

answer: The Byzantine Empire and the Sasanian Empire had peace for many years until 502. This disruption in peace happened when the Hephthalites threatened the Persian king, Kavadh I, to pay the substantial debts he owed them. At the time, the Persian kingdom was also experiencing a drought due to a change in the flow of River Tigris, causing drought and famine. Kavadh I had no choice but to turn to the Roman Emperor Anastasius I for help. Unfortunately, Anastasius I declined to help thus forcing Kavadh I to resort to war against the Romans.

text: It isn't necessary to discuss the preceding peace.

refinement: The war was precipitated by the Hephthalites threatening the Persian king, Kavadh I, to pay the substantial debts he owed them. At the time, the Persian kingdom was also experiencing a drought due to a change in the flow of River Tigris, causing drought and famine. Kavadh I had no choice but to turn to the Roman Emperor Anastasius I for help. Unfortunately, Anastasius I declined to help thus forcing Kavadh I to resort to war against the Romans.

answer: He was indebted to the Hephthalites.

text: The answer should mention his attempt to seek help from Anastasius.

refinement: He was indebted to the Hephthalites. He tried to seek help from the Roman emperor Anastasius I. When Anastasius refused, he instead tried to take the money by force.

text: The answer could mention the famines and flood.

refinement: He was indebted to the Hephthalites. The situation was made worse by recent famines and floods. He tried to seek help from the Roman emperor Anastasius I. When Anastasius refused, he instead tried to take the money by force.

answer: Kavadh I invaded Roman territories in order to raise money to pay his debts owed to the Hephthalites. The initiation of the invasion led to a long conflict between the Byzantine and Sasanian Empires.

answer: He was after money to pay his debts to the Hephthalites who had helped him regain the throne in 498/499. The situation was exacerbated by recent changes in the flow of the Tigris in Lower Mesopotamia sparking famines and flood. The Roman emperor Anastasius I refused to provide any help. Kavadh then used force to obtain the money.

answer: Kavadh I invaded Roman territories because he needed money to pay his debts to the Hephthalites.

ARGENTINA - SERBIA RELATIONS are foreign relations between Serbia and Argentina. Diplomatic relations between Serbia and Argentina existed before the Second World War and were restored by SFR Yugoslavia in 1946. Serbia has an embassy in Buenos Aires and Argentina has an embassy in Belgrade.[1]

Argentine position on Kosovo

In 2008, after _Kosovo_ declared independence as a _Republic of Kosovo_, Argentine Foreign Minister Jorge Taiana said “if we were to recognise Kosovo, which has declared its independence unilaterally, without an agreement with Serbia, we would set a dangerous precedent that would seriously threaten our chances of a political settlement in the case of the Falkland Islands”. Argentina will not recognize also because it “supports the principle of territorial integrity”. Additionally, he stressed that the 1999 UN Resolution 1244 called for the mutual agreement of all parties to solve the dispute. He said that President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner would not give any official statement on the issue, reiterating that there would be no recognition of Kosovo.[2][3]

Drug busts

[Embassy of Serbia in Buenos Aires] In November 2009, Argentine Police arrested 5 Serbian drug couriers and seized their 492 kilograms of cocaine in Buenos Aires.[4] On 31 October 2009, Serbian police arrested over 500 people in the biggest ever anti-drug operation carried out in Serbia.[5][6] Many of the drugs had passed through Argentina as well as other South American and European nations before being smuggled into Serbian borders.[7]

Visits

On April 14, 2008 Serbian Minister of Foreign Affairs Vuk Jeremić visited Argentina, and agreed with Argentine Foreign Minister Jorge Taiana, on a series of joint steps within international multilateral institutions related to Serbia's diplomatic approach to Kosovo. Argentina will support the initiative of Serbia within the UN General Assembly to ask the opinion of the International Court of Justice on the legality of recognising Kosovo's unilateral independence and will actively advocate that this initiative is supported by Latin America countries and within the Non-Aligned Movement and Mercosur. During the visit it was agreed that Taiana will visit Belgrade in June and President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner in 2009.[8]

title: Argentina–Serbia relations

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

Why did Argentina refuse to acknowledge the existence of Kosovo as an independent country?

answer: Argentina and Serbia have had foreign relations from before World War II, with both countries having embassies in their respective capital cities. However, when Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008, Argentina was left in an awkward place. In the end, Argentina decided not to acknowledge Kosovo without an agreement from Serbia so that it will not jeopardize its relationship with Serbia as well as threaten their bid to reclaim the Falkland Islands.

answer: Argentina claims that Kosovo's move does not set a good example or precedent for the cases of the Falkland Islands and/or Haiti.

text: There is no mention of Haiti in the original text.

refinement: Argentina claims that Kosovo's move does not set a good example or precedent for the cases of the Falkland Islands.

answer: Argentina refuses to acknowledge Kosovo as a separate nation due to its support for the principle of territorial integrity. Additionally, Argentina worries that recognizing Kosovo unilaterally could weaken their bargaining position in a future disagreement over the Falkland Islands. The Argentine government believes that any recognition must be based on mutual agreement between all parties involved.

answer: Argentina refuses to recognize Kosovo as an independent country because it supports the principle of territorial integrity. Additionally, it is concerned that doing so would set a dangerous precedent.

text: The response should explain what danger Argentina wishes to avoid.

refinement: Argentina refuses to recognize Kosovo as an independent country because it supports the principle of territorial integrity. Additionally, it is concerned that doing so would set a dangerous precedent that would seriously threaten their chances f a political settlement the case of the Falkland Islands.

answer: Their main concern was that their "support" would set a dangerous precedent for future disputes. They also have underlying politics where they categorically state they support territorial integrity over secession.

A Greenville, Kentucky man was arrested for "terroristic threatening" after posting lyrics to the Exodus song "Class Dismissed (A Hate Primer)" on Facebook.

According to 14News.com, 31-year-old James Evans posted the following on August 24: "Student bodies lying dead in the halls, a blood splattered treatise of hate. Class dismissed is my hypothesis, gun fire ends in debate."

Mike Drake, the school resource officer in Muhlenberg County, says that several agencies received calls about the post. Evans was subsequently arrested. A preliminary hearing is scheduled next week.

Exodus guitarist Gary Holt has issued the following statement:

"The idea that an individual in this great country of ours could be arrested for simply posting lyrics to a song is something I never believed could happen in a free society. James Evans was simply posting lyrics to a band he likes on Facebook, and he was locked up for it. The song 'Class Dismissed (A Hate Primer)' was written as a view through the eyes of a madman and in no way endorses that kind of fucked up behavior. It was the Virginia Tech massacre perpetrated by Seung-Hui Cho that was the subject and inspiration to write the song, one in which we put the brakes on playing it live after the Sandy Hook shooting, as we did not want to seem insensitive."

"As some of us in Exodus are parents, of course these things hit close to home, it's every parent's worst fear. These moments are the stuff of nightmares, and life, as well as music, isn't always pretty. But when we start to overreact to things like lyrics by any band, including Exodus, and start arresting people, we are caving in to paranoia and are well on our way to becoming an Orwellian society."

UPDATE: Evans has since been released from jail.

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

Can it be said that the police were right to arrest James Evans for posting the lyrics on Facebook?

answer: It might be implied they tried to take precautionary measures due to the obscene lyrics of the song posted online.

text: Change wording, make more unbiased

refinement: It might be said they tried to take precautionary measures due to the obscene lyrics of the song posted online. The song's guitarist disagrees, but they may have a precedent.

answer: Not by the song's own author.

text: Be more unbiased

refinement: It was not said by the song's lead guitarist, but the police and wider society might have justification to arrest this person.

answer: The police were not right to arrest James Evans for posting the lyrics on Facebook. The lyrics were of a song, and do not endorse the actions referenced in the lyrics. Furthermore, overreacting to lyrics is a serious threat to our society, which is protected by freedom of speech.

text: Be more unbiased.

refinement: According to the song's author, the police were not right to arrest James Evans for posting the lyrics on Facebook. The lyrics were of a song, and do not endorse the actions referenced in the lyrics. He also states overreacting to lyrics is a serious threat to our society, which is protected by freedom of speech. This may not be the same opinion that the police, and wider society, holds.

answer: No, the police were not right to arrest James Evans for posting the lyrics on Facebook. The lyrics are from a song and, in no way, endorse the kind of behavior described in the lyrics.

text: Be more unbiased.

refinement: According to the lead guitarist of the band, the police were not right to arrest James Evans for posting the lyrics on Facebook. He claims the lyrics are from a song and, in no way, endorse the kind of behavior described in the lyrics. The police, and wider society, may not agree with these views.

answer: It doesn't sound like they were.

text: Be more aware of speaker and speaker intention.

refinement: According to the lead guitarist of the band, they were not, but they may have had just cause to do so.

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

Was Evans insensitive for posting such lyrics on Facebook?

answer: Evans was insensitive for posting such lyrics on Facebook and got arrested for terroristic threatening

answer: Yes, Evans was accused of being insensitive for posting "Class Dismissed (A Hate Primer)" lyrics on Facebook. Exodus guitarist Gary Holt has deemed it inappropriate to arrest someone for simply posting lyrics to a song. Furthermore, the song itself does not endorse the behavior mentioned, rather it is meant to represent the view of a madman. The idea that someone could be arrested for posting lyrics raises serious concerns for free speech.

text: Gary Holt is not necessary

refinement: Yes, Evans was accused of being insensitive for posting "Class Dismissed (A Hate Primer)" lyrics on Facebook.

answer: Evans was not insensitive. He posted lyrics to his favorite band.

text: Be more realistic.

refinement: Evans was not insensitive - he posted lyrics to his favorite band, according to the band's guitarist. But given the way in which school shootings occur, it can be said he was insensitive.

answer: It is not stated.

text: Make an inference

answer: No, Evans was arrested for terrorist threatening after posting lyrics to the Exodus song "Class Dismissed (A Hate Primer)." The lyrics do not promote insensitive behavior.

text: This is like saying "up is down". A good rhetorical argument can be made that the lyrics do, in fact, promote insensitive behavior, and I would far prefer to be prosecution than represent the accused as defense, personally.

refinement: Yes, Evans was arrested for terrorist threatening after posting lyrics to the Exodus song "Class Dismissed (A Hate Primer)." It can be argued that the lyrics promote insensitive behavior.

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

answer: The lyrics to the song are viewed as threatening. When song's author (Gary Holt) issued the following statment, the case was dismissed.

text: The case was not dismissed.

refinement: The lyrics to the song are viewed as threatening.

text: It is about school shootings, is why it is viewed as threatening.

refinement: The lyrics to the song are viewed as threatening, because they are about school shootings.

answer: The song is about a murderous rampage occurring in a school setting. The lyrics posted by James Evans on Facebook were specifically pertaining to the violent nature of the lyrics.

answer: While it is not clear if the song is a depiction of school shootings, the song seems to begin with the idea of shootings, but then seem to end with the idea of school shootings not being allowed to occur in a society.

text: It is clear that the song is about school shootings.

answer: The song's lyrics describe a classroom replete with deceased students and details a hypothetical situation wherein gun fire ends in debate. The song is meant to imply the danger of hate and reflects a view from a madman.

answer: It is not stated.

text: Make an inference.

refinement: This song is about school shootings, and glorifies the idea of shootings.

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

What inspired the Exodus band to create that song?

answer: The Virginia Tech massacre.

answer: The Virginia Tech massacre.

answer: The song "Class Dismissed (A Hate Primer)" was written as a view through the eyes of a madman in response to the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre perpetrated by Seung-Hui Cho.

answer: The Virginia Tech massacre perpetrated by Seung-Hui Cho

answer: The song "Class Dismissed (A Hate Primer)" was written as a response to the Virginia Tech massacre perpetrated by Seung-Hui Cho.

question: Write a ~5 sentence summary.

answer: James Evans from Greenville, Kentucky was arrested on accusations of "terroristic threatening" after posting lyrics to the Exodus song "Class Dismissed (A Hate Primer)" on Facebook.

[Stephen Conroy Wants Back In As Communications Minister]

Never has a chalice been so particularly poisoned as the one sipped by former Communications Minister Stephen Conroy. After his tumble out of the spotlight, he’s throwing his hat back into the ring to be the Labor Party’s new Shadow Communications Minister.

Conroy told _Sky News_ yesterday (as reported by iTNews this morning) that, after much soul searching, he has advised Labor Party colleagues that he’d like his old position back in the yet-to-be-formed Shadow Cabinet ministry.

The former Communications Minister has been in political exile after backing the former Prime Minister Julia Gillard in the Labor leadership challenge that saw Kevin Rudd elected by Caucus members to the head of the party.

The position of Communications Minister was taken by Anthony Albanese in the lead-up to the Federal Election, but speculation is mounting that Albo will ascend to the head of the party following Kevin Rudd’s post-election resignation.

Conroy says that he wants to return to the ministry to hold Prime Minister-elect Tony Abbott and former Shadow Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull to account.

As of right now, the only position that’s for sure in both the Coalition cabinet and in the new Labor Opposition is that of Tony Abbott, who will be sworn in as Prime Minister next week. It’s impolite to speak out of turn about a Cabinet or front-bench position unless it has been offered to you, hence why Malcolm Turnbull is being coy about his position on the front bench. For all we know, Turnbull could be shipped over to the Defence portfolio as former Optus executive-turned-MP Paul Fletcher swoops in to handle the tricky job of Communications Minister.

Until the Ministry is announced, it’s all just speculation. [Sky News via iTNews]

The fan moves back and forth. Looking left then right, guarding my room from the things I cannot see. The constant whirr is calming, and reassuring to my restless mind. That is what they tell me anyway. I am restless. I am confused. I am dangerous they say. So I stay in this room, because it is what is good for me. For everyone. But I don’t mind. There’s a very nice bed, and my fan. The whirr is very calming to my restless mind, I’m told.

The people here are very kind, and come to see me often. There is a child down the hall from me that is not very pleasant though. I know all the things she has done. She’s probably sitting in there planning her next act as I speak. That’s why she doesn’t get a nice room like the rest of us. Hers is darker, and there isn’t even a window. I don’t think she’s allowed visitors anymore either. The poor child.

My family, they come to see me every week. Twice a week if I am lucky. They did anyway. Not so often anymore. I always enjoyed when my mother came though. She is most beautiful. At least she was, until one day – Oh, three years ago sounds about right. I’m sorry, I just can’t keep track of time very well in this, ever so nice room. It really is very nice. Anyway, where was I? Oh, my mother! Yes!  We found her at the bottom of the stairs. Her curly, flowing blonde hair, blood streaked, casting an almost beautiful veil of sorts over her face.

“A quick blow to the head”, they said.  “There was no sign of resistance, or struggle.” And she was gone down the spiral staircase, just like that. My mother never liked that staircase.

Personal belongings falling from her bag left a trail to her body. Almost as if it were a child’s game, with a twist at the end. The killer meant for us to find her like that. I know. But no one believes me though. They all just think I’m crazy. I know it was no accident, or fluke. Lipstick and mints don’t fall in such a perfectly crafted line like by chance! This was the work of a killer. A good one at that. Leaves no evidence, but the crime in plain sight for all to find. Almost flaunting it. Proud of it even.

I’ve watched the girl leave and return unnoticed three times. Each time claiming another victim. The nice people think she is getting better, I hear them talking about letting her have a nice room soon, and maybe even letting her go. But I know! The girl does not get better in the mind she gets better at hiding the evil keeping her here! They know nothing.

When the girl left, she used a window in one of the empty rooms. We are on the first floor, so it was probably quite easy for her. It was quiet, but not so quiet that she could be heard easily, especially with the fans whirring as they so often do. She was back within the hour and ever so graciously strolled back into her room as if nothing more than a quick run to the store had just happened. Although unsuspected by others, I knew better. My thoughts were proven correct by afternoon the next day.

I was allowed out for good behavior, and improvements with my “instability” and “franticness” as the nice people call it. Consequently, I went to visit my family. That’s when we found my mother. Her beautiful blonde hair, an elegant mess over her face. Her motionless body. The trail. They crying. They betrayal. My father and sisters seldom spoke to me, or each other for nearly a year after that.

Until the girl left again.

She was barley noticeable this night, and if I hadn’t known better I would have thought it Max, our house cat, out for a midnight stroll as he so often does. Probably admiring the very nice rooms. They are painted a beautiful shade of blue. The girl does not get to enjoy this though because she does these terrible things. Slipping out the door was a simple task for her on this night. Especially when the nice people were starting to ease up on her security and restrictions. She might have been able to have a nice room soon too.

I was also trusted more. And with each passing day I found more interesting things to do with my time. One day I simply wandered about, admiring and counting all the doors and windows I could find. They are all quite beautifully made. Carved wood frames, and shiny copper hinges around every corner, all accented by lovely blue walls. I even attended Sunday services every once and a while. These were almost as calming to me as the whirr of my fan.

I went to service that morning after the girl had left, to get my mind settled and well rested. Since I was out, I did not hear the news until nearly mealtime. My father was dead, my sister told me. In synch as they always were. Its quite a spectacle to hear them speak, it truly is. I miss their voices sometimes. It was as if they were not two minds, but one. Each knowing exactly what the other’s intentions would be. Sometimes I wished I had a twin. No one ever understood me the way they seemed to understand each other.

My father was drowned in our pool. Oh, how I loved that pool. Summers of swimming and carefree fun. He never went near it though. Not once. He was always afraid of water, but had it made just for us. That’s how we knew it wasn’t an accident.
I was allowed out for the funeral.

After that I did not see the girl for a long time, and my sisters started coming to visit every week. Over the course of their visits however, they acquired a distaste for my fan, which I would never fully understand. When they were here, we spoke of the past, new events, but mostly of when I would be able to leave. It was always a topic of interest that no one seemed to know the answer to. I was calmer, oh yes. I was aware. They saw nothing wrong, and neither did the nice people. How terrible I feel for tricking them. They really are very nice.

My poor sisters were the last to go. I saw it coming. I didn’t know when, and it took me two full months to figure out how, but I could feel it.

For her grand finale of sorts, the girl had taken my fan, the fan belonging to the boy on room over, and every other she could find on her way out.

The house was burned down by morning.

I awoke to the fan moving back and forth. Looking left and then right. Guarding my room from the things I cannot see. The constant whirr is calming and reassuring to my restless mind. I am restless. I am confused. I am dangerous. So I stay in this room because it is what’s good for everyone. I have a bed, and my fan. The constant whirr is very calming to my restless mind. It’s the only way I can live in this dark room alone.

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

Summarize the central theme of the story.

answer: The theme of this story seems to be solitude. The main character seems to like their time alone, privileging that over grief. Their family members have all perished, yet the narrator is almost okay at the end, staring at the fan, alone in a room. Additionally, they mention at several points that they need their mind to be settled.

text: The theme is insanity

refinement: The story's primary themes seems to be confusion, disorder, and loss of agency. At the beginning of the story, it is unclear whether the person in question is a mental patient who believes a woman has been systematically killing her family members, or if the narrator has committed the murders themselves. The events are not linear, and the child down the hall seems to feature as both victim and perpetrator. As the story progresses, details about the narrator's living conditions emerge and it is clear that the narrator has been institutionalized in a mental facility because of dangerous, unpredictable behavior. The most confusing scene in the story may be the the one in which the narrator describes the murder of their mother, and then exclaims that they did not kill anyone. The story's narrative hinges on a vanishing agency and the loss of order, concluding with the loss of the narrator's house as it burns down. Presumably she, or her alternate personality, is the one that did it.

answer: The main theme of the story is that a girl with dangerous tendencies is able to prey on others unnoticed while they fail to see her true nature and intentions. The girl is able to pull off seemingly impossible stunts and murders without detection, while those around her, including the protagonist, are left powerless to stop it. This shows that true evil can exist even in such tragic circumstances.

answer: The central theme is that there is a definite line between safety and danger, and sometimes those lines are blurred. However, those who are perceptive and aware of the big picture can spot the signs of danger and take precautions to protect themselves.

answer: No answer

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

Explain two possibilities for the ending of the story.

answer: One possibility is that there was never any "girl" and that the narrator is the girl. Perhaps she has dissociative tendencies, or dissociative identity disorder. This would make sense as the narrator is seemingly trapped in a room at the end, and has used the language of "let me out..." with regards to being granted permission to attend their father's funeral. The second possibility is that there was a girl, and that she has framed the narrator, or at least made the narrator look gullible. It's possible that now the narrator is in an institution because the doctors think the narrator has lost their mind.

answer: One possibility for the ending of this story is that the girl continues to prey on and murder the people in the house, staying hidden each time until the next victim comes along. The other possible ending is that the girl is caught before she gets the chance to harm anyone else and is removed from the house, allowing the protagonist to live peacefully in her room which is no longer scary but feels safe again.

answer: The second liight is found as the narrator is presumed dead and the neighbors are clearing debris; then as the narrator tells his story, he and his sisters are dead since they were living with their mother and father, and the boyfriend who is acting as the narrator is telling the story to the girl who has been confined to the house, who takes their place.

text: Completely incoherent

refinement: One possibility for the ending of this story is that the girl continues to prey on and murder the people in the house, staying hidden each time until the next victim comes along. The other possible ending is that the girl is caught before she gets the chance to harm anyone else and is removed from the house, allowing the protagonist to live peacefully in her room which is no longer scary but feels safe again.

answer: The narrator could have killed the girl for the deaths of his family and will be found too late before the house is burned down. The second ending can be that the girl is the killer or that the narrator was the one who did it because he believes the girl was the killer her whole life (whether he is the one in question or not).

text: Not quite

refinement: One possibility for the ending of this story is that the girl continues to prey on and murder the people in the house, staying hidden each time until the next victim comes along. The other possible ending is that the girl is caught before she gets the chance to harm anyone else and is removed from the house, allowing the protagonist to live peacefully in her room which is no longer scary but feels safe again.

answer: There are two primary possibilities for how the story may end. The first possibility is that the girl continues to kill indiscriminately, secretly striking unsuspecting victims at her leisure. The other end of the spectrum is that she is caught and punished for the murder of the protagonist's family members. The choice the protagonist makes in his head determines the outcome of the story.

text: Does not get the point

refinement: One possibility for the ending of this story is that the girl continues to prey on and murder the people in the house, staying hidden each time until the next victim comes along.

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

Explain the measures the narrator-or the girl-might have taken to quiet their mind.

answer: The narrator relies on the whirr of the fan to calm their restless mind. This might have been a subconscious effort the narrator developed over time in their restrictive environment. In order to survive in such an isolating space, they would have to find something to fill the void. The whirr of the fan is a constant noise, easy to come by and to focus on while they await their eventual escape. It becomes essential to their mental health and wellbeing.

answer: The narrator has found a source of comfort in the fan's constant whirring. The constant sound has helped to calm the narrator's restless mind and reduce the chaos around them. The narrator might try other interventions such as rituals, mindfulness exercises, or calming music. These might help them to manage their worries and concerns and to refocus their attention on positive aspects of their life.

text: The question is not asking for suggestions.

refinement: The narrator has found a source of comfort in the fan's constant whirring. The constant sound has helped to calm the narrator's restless mind and reduce the chaos around them. This helps them to manage their worries and concerns and to refocus their attention on positive aspects of their life.

answer: The narrator might have first hit her mother on the head, causing her to tumble down the staircase to her death. Then, she might have caused her father's drowning death in their pool. Finally, the narrator and or girl might have murdered the narrator's sisters by starting a fire.

text: These are not measures to quiet the mind

refinement: The narrator relies on the whirr of the fan to calm their restless mind. This might have been a subconscious effort the narrator developed over time in their restrictive environment. In order to survive in such an isolating space, they would have to find something to fill the void. The whirr of the fan is a constant noise, easy to come by and to focus on while they await their eventual escape. It becomes essential to their mental health and wellbeing.

answer: The girl takes whatever method would silence her dreams and her thoughts. A simple cup of tea could quiet not only her thoughts but her conscience, because they are silenced by the fact she has hurt them enough times to know she will hurt them again. The only way to stare these thoughts down is by using the only tool she had left on the field: her mind, which is where she has put her own quirk on behavior basics, and not listened to the doctors' council of dishonesty and caution.

text: Coverage, accuracy, all of the above

refinement: The narrator relies on the whirr of the fan to calm their restless mind. This might have been a subconscious effort the narrator developed over time in their restrictive environment. In order to survive in such an isolating space, they would have to find something to fill the void. The whirr of the fan is a constant noise, easy to come by and to focus on while they await their eventual escape. It becomes essential to their mental health and wellbeing.

answer: We cannot be sure of the involvement of the narrator in these events. They seem to be the dementia case who enthusiastically tracked the next killer. The girl thinks that a kitten is out for its night adventures and not the young teenage girl now revealed. The girl gets to roam about. However, her mind can be distracted as she appears to be obsessive-compulsive as well.

text: There is a correct answer to this question and it is the fan

refinement: The narrator relies on the whirr of the fan to calm their restless mind. This might have been a subconscious effort the narrator developed over time in their restrictive environment. In order to survive in such an isolating space, they would have to find something to fill the void. The whirr of the fan is a constant noise, easy to come by and to focus on while they await their eventual escape. It becomes essential to their mental health and wellbeing.

  I sat in the chair, restrained and left alone for my thoughts to devour me whole. The chair was beautifully uncarved, a masterpiece of nature left unmarred by human hands, yet still uncomfortable enough for a prisoner like me to hate it. It felt like days have gone by in this chair, awaiting my fate, arms and legs bruised from the cuffs that dug into my flesh. My mind was racing, yet muddled; confined by the boundaries that they have placed on my thoughts. Memories repeating, left in a loop for me to regret for the rest of eternity. “Prisoner 339264. Rise for your Arbiter.” The loud hollow voice filled the room and the cuffs released me from their clutches, as I stood for someone who I am to respect, yet have never met. The Arbiter entered through the large steel doors previously hidden by the shadows and motioned for me to take my seat. As I hesitantly sat, the Arbiter began to speak, “You may not know why you are here.” his voice echoed in the large room. “And that is why I have been appointed to you. As a reminder, and as a final decision as to what is to happen to you.” He moved towards the pulpit, and laid out his documents for inspection.

          “What you have done is nothing new, a case like yours comes along thousands of times every year, from insignificant, pitiful people like yourself, to more tragic, meaningful people like that American that smelled vaguely of adolescent character, and the famous writer who was found in his house holding his favorite shotgun. But you are lower than them. Theirs was slightly more understandable, but not you, you had everything lined up for you. Presented on a platter to choose for your own liking. You left children, both legitimate, and illegitimate, in your wake. Open your mouth, what do you have to say for yourself?” My mouth was parched, and my throat was in a knot. “Who are you?” I finally asked. “Me? I am your judge.” He came around the pulpit, walking towards me as the cuffs restrained me again. “Your Fate, your King Minos. I am Your Arbiter. That is all you need to know.” I searched my mind for why I was here; one of the vague memories that have been placed off limits, torturing me with its escape. As he walked back, I gathered the nerve to finally ask the question that has been prying at my psyche. “Where am I, and what am I on trial for? I have a right to know!” “YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS HERE! You have lost all rights when your cowardice came over you, and you took your own life, leaving behind your wife, children, brothers, everything! You gave it all up, and for what? Nothing! And look where it's got you. In front of me.” An evil grin spread like the plague across his face. “I have the pleasure of deciding where you spend the rest of eternity.”

          Shaken, my heart began to race. I didn't know what he was talking about. “What do you mean? I have no children! I cannot even remember what brought me to this horrid place. Explain!” His eyes glared at me, and for once in a long time I felt intimidated. Genuinely afraid of his sick twisted face. Mocking me with his furrowed brow. His voice became eerily soft “There are things that cannot be explained at this moment, what I can say is that you are in limbo. This is where everyone passes as they wait for their judgment. You are here because you have taken your life, and left a wife and a mistress to raise your children.” My memories began to fade into existence, Carmen's beautiful smile, My daughters letters as she learned Spanish abroad, Hector's diligence. I remember. “People like you cause rifts in The Writing. The only thing that cannot be accounted for, you humans have managed to exploit and cause panic not only in your dimension, but here as well.” I finally understand whats going on, its setting in. “Why did I do it?” I asked. The Arbiter replied quickly “None us know, it is the only thing that has escapes us seven for all of eternity. We have seen people do it for pride, out of fear, love, anger, even curiosity.”

          Seven? “Are you the only Arbiter? If not why are you the one judging me?” His face twisted with a curious look, as though he was surprised, yet elated that I wanted to know about him and the others. “As I said before, there are seven of Us. We reign over your dimension and through a combination of us, we form every human being as their characteristics, or “Feelings”. Some people have more of one of us than others may.” “And as to the reason why I am being judged in front of you?” I beckoned for an answer. “Simple, out of the seven of us, I was the one most inflicted by your final moments. More people felt my presence because of you. And that angers me. Why should a human as incompetent as yourself be able to send shockwaves to dozens that I myself am not able to feel?” His piercing eyes, because soft and glazed over. He turned away from me snatching the files from the pulpit and briskly flipping through them. “So what am I to do?! I'm sorry that I offended you, but there must be something I can do to redeem myself!” I was looking for a way out. The outcome of angering this entity could not be good.

          “What you have done is irreversible and irreconcilable. The verdict has been decided. You will return to Earth as your daughter's son. You will be stripped of a father at a young age as you have stripped yourself from your children. You will raise yourself and your siblings, as you left your oldest son to do so without a father. Left to fend for yourself in the tidal wave that you have cause in your past life.” I writhed in my seat at the thought of being sent back to that dreadful place. “NO! You cant send me back there.” I didn't even know what I was afraid of. “There is nothing more than I can do, I have judged according to The Laws. You have done the crime. You must now pay the repercussions.” And with that he faded back into the shadowy corner. As the door closed softly behind him, my cuffs became undone. Rubbing my sore wrists, I began wondering what I should do now. When will my punishment begin? And if there is still a way to get around it. “Prisoner 339264. You have been tried and judged. You know your fate.” And with that a dark fear consumed, and pushed me towards a light. Into a realm so bright, cold and intimidating, it is a wonder how anyone could find comfort in this unrelenting place.

title: A short story I wrote for class titled "Inheritance". What do you think?

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

What does the story say about the type of person the narrator is?

answer: The narrator is a cowardly human being who left their family. The narrator experiences remorse the moment they made the decision to die, not just because of the family they have left behind, but also because they have caused deep sadness in their Arbiter.

text: Replace "their" with "his" because it is clear the narrator is male.

refinement: The narrator is a cowardly human being who left his family. The narrator experiences remorse the moment they made the decision to die, not just because of the family they have left behind, but also because they have caused deep sadness in their Arbiter.

text: "The narrator experiences remorse the moment they made the decision to die, not just because of the family they have left behind, but also because they have caused deep sadness in their Arbiter." - This is irrelevant and doesn't answer the question.

refinement: The narrator is a cowardly human being who left his family.

text: "The narrator is a cowardly human being who left his family." - the response should be expanded by adding the narrator committed suicide and left two families (his wife and mistress).

refinement: The narrator is a cowardly human being who left his wife, mistress, brothers, and children (both legitimate and illegitimate) by way of suicide.

answer: The narrator had children, both legitimate and illegitimate. He took his own life, leaving his wife and mistress to raise his children.

text: The response doesn't directly answer the question.

refinement: The narrator had children, both legitimate and illegitimate. He took his own life, leaving his wife and mistress to raise his children. His acts make him an unfaithful, irresponsible coward.

answer: The narrator is reflective, remorseful, and regretful for his actions. However, he is ultimately powerless against the Arbiter and must suffer the consequences. Notably, the arbiter exposes the dysfunction and contradicting nature of mortality with empathy and honesty. For his crimes, the narrator will be punished on Earth, stripped of being a father to his children and forced to become a parent himself. This is seen as a just repercussion for the narrator's selfish and careless actions with no justification.

text: The highlighted text is irrelevant to the question and should be deleted.

refinement: This is seen as a just repercussion for the narrator's selfish and careless actions with no justification.

text: "This is seen as a just repercussion for the narrator's selfish and careless actions with no justification." - doesn't really answer the question, but it mentions the narrator was selfish and careless, which can be used to describe him. This needs a revision to include that the narrator is also a coward.

refinement: The narrator is a selfish and careless coward for being unfaithful to his wife, siring children both legitimate and illegitimate, and leaving them all behind to fend for themselves.

answer: The narrator is shown to be someone who made some choices that he's not very proud of. He married a woman he cared for and who cared for him, however, he had an affair with another woman behind his wife's back. This decision not only destroyed his marriage but also hurt and affected the two women that were involved.

text: The response doesn't answer the question.

refinement: The narrator is an irresponsible coward for leaving his children (legitimate and illegitimate) wife, mistress, brothers, and everything behind by killing himself.

answer: The narrator is someone who has done a grave wrong in their past life and due to this is punished by being sent back to Earth as someone else's son. The narrator is presented as regretful and a coward, having lost all rights by committing suicide resulting in collateral damage by causing rifts in the universe. The story portrays the narrator as someone who does not make good choices and is impulsive, prone to making decisions without considering consequences.

refinement: The narrator is presented as regretful and a coward, having lost all rights by committing suicide resulting in collateral damage by causing rifts in the universe. The story portrays the narrator as someone who does not make good choices and is impulsive, prone to making decisions without considering consequences.

text: "by causing rifts in the universe." - add that his family left to fend for themselves is also collateral damage.

refinement: The narrator is presented as regretful and a coward, having lost all rights by committing suicide resulting in collateral damage not only on the people (wife, mistress, children, brothers) he left behind but also by causing rifts in the universe. The story portrays the narrator as someone who does not make good choices and is impulsive, prone to making decisions without considering consequences.

text: "rifts in the universe" - this is inaccurate. The narrator caused rifts in The Writing and other dimensions.

refinement: The narrator is presented as regretful and a coward, having lost all rights by committing suicide resulting in collateral damage not only on the people (wife, mistress, children, brothers) he left behind but also by causing rifts in The Writing and other dimensions. The story portrays the narrator as someone who does not make good choices and is impulsive, prone to making decisions without considering consequences.

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

What does the story say about feelings?

answer: The story discusses how human emotions have an impact on people in the afterlife, with different arbiters depending on which feeling has been most effected. Essentially, the arbiters are tasked with making judgments based on the guilt or innocence of the person in question. Feeling is a significant part of the human experience, with different types of feeling causing different reactions.

text: The response fails to answer the question.

refinement: In the story, the seven arbiters reign over the human dimension and combine to form the characteristics or "Feelings" of every human being. Some people have more than one arbiter in them. Arbiters cannot feel humans, but given enough shockwaves (like suicide) that can affect other dimensions, humans can feel the arbiter's presence.

answer: There are seven Arbiters, and each of them represents a different feeling. Out of the seven, the Arbiter overseeing the narrator's sentencing was most afflicted by his final moments. The fact that many people felt the Arbiter's presence angers the Arbiter.

answer: Feelings were the basis of their creation, so through a combination of the seven of them, they created all the human characteristics or feelings. They find out a person's feelings by putting them in the first person and the feelings overwhelm their consciousness. Somehow the human is the one who controls.

text: "They find out a person's feelings by putting them in the first person and the feelings overwhelm their consciousness. Somehow the human is the one who controls." - extraneous information that should be removed.

refinement: Feelings were the basis of their creation, so through a combination of the seven of them, they created all the human characteristics or feelings.

answer: No answer

text: No response.

refinement: Seven arbiters reign over the human dimension and combine to form the characteristics or "Feelings" of every human being. Some people have more than one arbiter in them.

answer: The story implies that human beings are influenced by the powerful human emotions of fear, anger, love, etc. The human in this story was influenced by fear in such a way that he ended up taking his own life. The Arbiter, who is charged with judging people in limbo, is upset by this because there was a great ripple effect on a number of people including himself. Essentially, there is power in human feelings, and that power can be used for good or for bad.

text: The response doesn't really answer the question.

refinement: In the story, the seven arbiters reign over the human dimension and combine to form the characteristics or "Feelings" of every human being. Some people have more than one arbiter in them. Given enough shockwaves (like suicide) that can affect other dimensions, humans can feel an arbiter's presence.

The DIAMOND A RANCH, or Spring Ranch, is a ranch in the upper Wind River valley of Fremont County, Wyoming. The site was first settled by John Robert McDonald, a Scottish immigrant who had a homestead on the site in 1891. McDonald sold the property to John Williamson in 1907. Jack Williamson and his brother David were Scots as well, working as stonemasons. The Williamsons had worked in New York City, at Princeton University, at the Mormon Temple in Salt Lake City and on bridge work for the Union Pacific Railroad. In 1888 they came from Salt Lake City to Lander, where they worked on a number of projects, as well as in Rawlins and at Fort Washakie. They joined their sister Jean Williamson Sinclair at the Upper Circle Ranch near Dubois in the early 1890s. David Williamson married Annie McKenzie, a friend of his sister's who had come with her from Scotland. When Jack died of tick fever in 1916, David moved to the ranch with his family. After David's death in 1934, his wife Annie operated the ranch until she sold it in 1966. The ranch is notable as one of several ranches established by Scottish immigrants.[1]

The ranch includes 14 buildings of frame, log or stone construction. The main ranch house was built starting in 1903, initially in stone and later in log. Despite the professional abilities of the Williamsons, it was built by a local stonemason. Other buildings include poultry houses, an outhouse, a bunkhouse, a granary, a calf shed, a garage and the homestead cabin. There are also a number of barns and livestock sheds.[2]

The Diamond A Ranch was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 19, 1991.[3]
