Another client was in front of me, filling out the same form they always do. I forgot she was there. Must have only been a few minutes—the paperwork here is simple, concise, and wholly unnecessary for the function of our office. For all I know, it might have been the same woman coming in and writing up fifteen identical forms since 8 A.M. this morning. I hazily recall a man here, but that may have been yesterday.

She paused and looked up. I considered eye contact, but didn't want to risk remembering her face. I mustered the courtesy to gaze briefly through her vague shoulder region before pretending to sort my documents under no organizational guidelines whatsoever.

"Hey, what is today?"

There's a day-to-day calendar between us. Noon had come and gone, so I knew it was current. My supervisor either chirps or grumbles something passive-aggressive at me every day on her way to lunch while she tears off the top leaf. I wanted her to just look at the damned calendar and leave me alone. Still, I stared obliquely at that bold-faced number and failed to derive any meaning from it, so I couldn't very well criticize her.

"I don't know, the usual."

The _KĀWĀLĀ_ ( or ; also called _SALAMIYA_, ) is an end-blown cane flute used in Arabic music. It is similar to the _ney_ but has six finger holes, while the _ney_ has seven (including one in the back). The _kawala_ comes in up to nine different sizes, according to the _maqam_.

The kawala is a single reed Egyptian flute that is played by blowing through its end. Though very similar to the ney, a highly popular flute in traditional Middle Eastern music, the kawala does not have a hole in the back as the ney does. The kawala has the fundamental tonal structure customary among the Egyptian folk music community, and the basis for many folk melodies, instrumental or vocal.

The kawala is hollow and has four knots, with six fingerholes in a straight line along it. The instrument has up to nine different sizes, according to the scale required in a musical composition. Most often played today at religious festivals and weddings, it has its origin as a shepherds tool, used to guide their flock. For this reason the seems to assist in any musical composition that contains a “call-and-response” sequence.

Players

Ahmed El Arnab is considered one of the most prestigious kawala players in Egypt and worldwide. Living in a small village of Sharqia governorate in Egypt, he has been traveling worldwide playing with many Egyptian sufi singers, including Sheikh Yassine Al-Tohamy and other western composers. He also regularly participates in national folklore carnivals (Mawlid) all over Egypt. He is one of the oldest surviving players in Egypt whose unique signature is the ability to produce various sound effects on the instrument using the circular breathing technique.

Ibrahim Shahin – who used to play in Mawawil – was another well-known Egyptian kawala player. He was an internationally travelled musician who once played regularly at events in his village and at larger shows in Egypt.

Technique

Sound is produced from a kawala by blowing into its upper (mouth) opening with a technique known to instrumentalists as circular breathing. With this technique, a musician breathes in through the nose while retaining a reservoir of previously inhaled air in his puffed-out cheeks, controlling its output to achieve an even and continuous flow of air while continuing to inhale regularly through the nose. This technique is similar to that used with the bagpipe, and has the effect of producing a long, continuous, even tone from the instrument.

The kawala is unique among other instruments in that both a scale and a glissando can be produced, which allows the musician the flexibility to play any note and thus any key, granting tonal flexibility. The uses of the kawala have been generally confined to religious chant. However, gradually the instrument has come to be used in other areas of folk music, and has gained a foothold in every corner of Egypt.

Production

The maker of the kawala selects his reeds while they are still in the earth, and scoops out the inside, hollowing them out so that they stop growing taller but instead grow thicker and harder. The reeds are left in the earth until they are ripe for harvest, at which point they are culled and left in the sun to dry out completely. Then comes the stage of dividing each stalk into segments of four knots each, starting at the thinner end, so that a musician gets (in order) a leading pipe and a following pipe in a 1:2 ratio (two follower pipes for each leader). The maker is careful to select the leader and its follower from the same stalk so as to ensure uniformity in the color of the tone. The internal divisions that divide the reed into chambers at each knot from the inside are then removed, resulting in a hollow pipe open at both ends. Any excess is then trimmed away, together with the remainder of the internal divisions, for a smooth, even interior texture.

answer: Davis was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the third round of the 2008 NFL Draft, converted to linebacker, and eventually waived in 2009. In 2010, Davis was signed by the Denver Broncos and released. In October 2010, the Oakland Raiders signed Davis to their active roster. He was waived in 2011, and signed to the San Francisco 49ers practice squad in 2012. In August 2012, Davis was signed by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

answer: He was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the third round (88th overall) of the 2008 NFL Draft where he moved to outside linebacker in the Steelers' 3-4 defense, but moved back to defensive end when Pittsburgh injuries occurred. He was cut in September 2009 and signed with the New England Patriots as a linebacker practice squad.

He was cut in September 2009 and signed with the New England Patriots as a linebacker practice squad.

text: Add that Davis was signed and waived by several other teams, which is the story of his career.

refinement: He was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the third round (88th overall) of the 2008 NFL Draft where he moved to outside linebacker in the Steelers' 3-4 defense but moved back to defensive end when Pittsburgh injuries occurred. He was cut in September 2009 and signed with the New England Patriots as a linebacker practice squad. Davis was signed and waived by several other NFL teams, including the Denver Broncos, San Francisco 49ers, and Cincinnati Bengals, but he was mostly relegated to the practice squad. One of his longest stints was when the Oakland Raiders signed him to their active roster to bolster their injury-depleted linebacker corps. Davis was waived a year later. Davis was signed by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on August 4, 2012, and assigned to their practice squad. He was promoted to the active roster on August 16 and started his first career game versus Winnipeg.

answer: Davis was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the third round (88th overall) of the 2008 NFL Draft. He played college football at UCLA but was soon later cut (for the fourth time) on the New England Patriots practice squad on October 7, 2009. Following 2009, he was waived on May 27 and re-signed to the Denver Broncos practice squad on June 1. Unfortunately, he was cut once again on July 27 and signed with the San Francisco 49ers on August 10. On September 3, he was cut from the 53-player roster. He was re-signed to the San Francisco 49ers practice squad on September 5, 2010, but was released from his contract nine days later. He re-signed to the practice squad on September 22, but was waived five days later. He eventually landed with the Oakland Raiders, where he was later waived on October 13 and added to the Cincinnati Bengals practice squad on November 23.

[A Flint water bill.]
LANSING — Without debate, the Michigan House of Representatives unanimously approved providing $30 million to Flint to help pay water bills for residents and businesses in the city.

The bill would give a credit that would be applied to how much water people consume — roughly 65% of the water portion of a resident's bill. Businesses would be eligible for credit of 20% of the water portion of their bills. Residents and business owners would still be responsible for paying the sewer portion of their bills.

Residents have long complained about having to pay for water they could not drink. A lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court this week seeks more than $150 million in refunds and compensation for damages for water that the plaintiffs allege was dangerous, undrinkable and unusable.

New Michael Moore documentary gets free Flint showings

Flint’s chief financial officer, Jody Lundquist, told House members Wednesday that without the financial support from the state, “the city’s water fund is projected to run out of cash by this summer. Even with the appropriation, if public confidence can

While Democrats offered amendments that would have doubled the amount from $30 million to $60 million to pay for entire water bills, along with $3.5 million in aid to help with nutritional needs of children and families and $55 million to kick-start the removal and replacement of lead pipes, all those proposals failed before the bills was unanimously approved by the House.

"$30 million will not solve the problem. It will not be a sufficient amount of money to recoup the users from April 2014 to April 2016," said state Rep. Sheldon Neeley, D-Flint. "This bill is going to be a start. We don't want to reject anything that's going to provide some level of relief from ratepayers."

The House did approve additional guidelines on how the money will be spent, including a provision that none of the money be used for administrative costs and that no water bills that were delinquent before April 2014 —  when the city switched from using water from the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department that was drawn from Lake Huron to water from the Flint River — would be eligible for credits.

"It’s a big step now the third time that we’ve acted to send needed dollars to the city of Flint," said Speaker of the House Kevin Cotter, R-Mt. Pleasant, referring to $9.3 million approved last year to help the city connect back to Detroit's water system and the $28 million approved in January for a variety of services in Flint. "We're trying to be helpful where we can ... but no matter where we came down, there were going to be some that aren't going to be happy one way or another. It’s unfortunate that each time we act, its considered not enough."

The bill — SB 136 — has to go back to the Senate, which unanimously approved it two weeks ago, for concurrence in the changes made by the House. It's expected to be taken up on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Gov. Rick Snyder on Thursday announced $2 million in additional funding to help Flint address its water infrastructure needs, including replacement of lead service lines.

Snyder said in a news release the money will be available for the city to start removing priority lead service lines within the next 30 days.

Based on estimates Flint Mayor Karen Weaver has received from the Lansing Board of Water and Light, which is assisting with the replacement of lead service lines, that should cover several hundred homes, he said.

Snyder said the money will come in the form of a Financially Distressed Cities, Villages and Townships Grant intended to reimburse the city for its $2-million share of the cost of reconnecting to the Detroit water system in October.

“This funding continues Michigan’s substantial and coordinated response to the Flint water crisis,” Snyder said. “We continue to ensure every possible resource is being utilized so that Flint families have safe and reliable drinking water in their homes and schools.”

Flint's drinking water became contaminated with lead in April 2014 while the city was under the control of a state-appointed emergency manager and began drawing drinking water from the Flint River as a temporary cost-cutting measure.

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

Is there any reason why the Michigan legislators approved $30 million to Flint without debate?

answer: There is likely no reason why the legislators approved $30 million to Flint without debate. Likely, they agreed that the money would be a start in helping the situation, considering the devastation the crisis has caused to the city.

text: The first sentence contradicts the sentence after that. There is a reason why the Michigan legislators approved $30 million to Flint without debate.

refinement: Likely, they agreed that the money would be a start in helping the situation, considering the devastation the crisis has caused to the city.

answer: Residents have long complained about having to pay water they can't drink. A lawsuit filed this week seeks over $150 million in refunds and compensation for damages. The Michigan legislature approved $30 million as a stopgap measure, but others feel it doesn't address the root of the problem.

answer: The Michigan House unanimously approved providing $30 million to Flint to help pay water bills after debating various amendments. There was no discussion or debate on the bill before it was passed.

text: The last sentence does not answer the question.

refinement: The Michigan House unanimously approved providing $30 million to Flint to help pay water bills after debating various amendments.

answer: It may have been a response to the April 2014 incident when the City of Flint got a new water source from the Flint River instead of the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department.

answer: Because they recognized the gravity of the water situation in Flint.

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

What are the reasons why some people find the government reaction to Flint water crisis inadequate?

answer: Many people feel that the government's reaction has been inadequate based on the required amount being allocated for water bill credits. Some feel that even the allocated amount is not enough to recoup that which users have been charged for contaminated water, which goes back to April 2014. Others also feel that the allotted amount does not provide any substantial assistance for water infrastructure and pipe replacement needs. Additionally, others view the allocated amount as insufficient because it is not double the amount and does not fund the entire bill. Lastly, some people feel that the government has not reacted properly to the Flint water crisis because officials have yet to step down.

text: Some parts of the response do not seem necessary and sound redundant.

refinement: Many people feel that the government's reaction has been inadequate based on the required amount being allocated for water bill credits. Some feel that even the allocated amount is not enough to recoup that which users have been charged for contaminated water, which goes back to April 2014.

answer: Some people think the government's reaction is inadequate because $30 million will not solve the problem and the bill is not a sufficient amount of money to cover the costs incurred by Flint residents during the period of contaminated water. Moreover, some people believe there should have been more amendments that would have led to more assistance to Flint residents who are still dealing with the aftermath of the contaminated water situation. Finally, there are those who think Governor Rick Snyder should resign given his role in the water crisis.

text: The last sentence does not specify Governor Rick Snyder's role in the water crisis. It is also irrelevant and does not answer the question.

refinement: Some people think the government's reaction is inadequate because $30 million will not solve the problem and the bill is not a sufficient amount of money to cover the costs incurred by Flint residents during the period of contaminated water. Moreover, some people believe there should have been more amendments that would have led to more assistance to Flint residents who are still dealing with the aftermath of the contaminated water situation.

answer: It is not enough to solve the problem and goes primarily to mitigating, short-term measures.

answer: They think it is not enough to alleviate the sufferings of people affected and that the only way forward for Flint is to completely replace the infrastructure and replace all piping that has been contaminated by the Flint River and start using water that comes from a reputable source.

answer: Some find the $30 million a small to compensate families that suffered during the crisis. Others find the money allocated for water infrastructure upgrades inadequate.

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

What forced the Michigan State government to respond to the Flint water problem?

answer: The residents brought a lawsuit, complaining about having to pay for water they are not using. Also, there was a documentary made about the problem, which gave the state government a lot of negative publicity.

answer: The contaminated water in Flint has caused many residents and businesses to complain about paying for water they cannot drink. The state agreed to provide $30 million in order to help pay water bills in Flint. This was done in response to the crisis.

answer: The forced response from the Michigan State government was because of complaints from residents about having to pay for water they could not drink. A lawsuit was filed requesting more than $150 million in refunds and compensation for damages allegedly caused by the water.

answer: The number of lawsuits and a decreased quality of life in Flint.

text: There is no indication in the text that the decreased quality of life in Flint is what urged the Michigan State government to issue the $30 million.

answer: Despite having popular speakers open to discuss the water systems and probably having better rates of pumping water, Flint was in the end reimbursed less than before. When tests were conducted, it was discovered that the water from the water system was highly contaminated with lead.

text: This is not the reason the Michigan State government responded to Flint's water problem. Although the facts stated are true, it is irrelevant to the question.

refinement: Despite having popular speakers open to discuss the water systems and probably having better rates of pumping water, Flint was in the end reimbursed less than before. When tests were conducted, it was discovered that the water from the water system was highly contaminated with lead. A lawsuit worth $150 million in refunds and compensation damages was filed but the government only reimbursed $30 million.

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

What are the guidelines set up by the state government around the funding providing for the Flint water crisis?

answer: Under SB 136, the House unanimously approved providing $30 million to Flint to help pay water bills for residents and businesses in the city. The money is intended to cover water consumption, with residents and businesses responsible for paying the sewer portion of their bills. Guidelines set up around the funding include the requirement that the money not be used for administrative costs and that no water bills that were delinquent before April 2014 be eligible for credit.

answer: No administrative cost. Water bills that were delinquent before April 2014 are not eligible to be paid partially by the state. The general fund will be used for the water infrastructure needs.

answer: They are asking that the state not be used to pay admin costs, that none of the money be used for people who were delinquent on their bills before April 2014, when the city switched to using water from the Flint river, and that none of the bill be used for any expenses tied to switching the water source to USE the Flint River.

answer: The government has included a provision that none of the money provided will be used for administrative costs. Also, some part of the money is to be used to fix water infrastructure.

answer: The state of Michigan is providing $30 million to help Flint residents and businesses pay their water bills. The guidelines set up for this money include that none of the money may be used for administrative costs and that no water bills that were delinquent before April 2014 are eligible for a credit. The bill is expected to be taken up by the Senate next Tuesday.

I was lying on something soft, my body sunk into it. When I opened my eyes everything was so white, so clean.
“Where am I?” I thought. “Am I dead?”

I sat up and looked around. I felt strangely light headed but not in an uncomfortable way. It felt like I was flying.
When my eyes adjusted to the brightness I saw a figure approaching me. I felt no fear but more of rejoice, like seeing an old friend after a long time.

I stood up, but fell backwards; only to find a stool behind me, in which I sat. When the figure got closer I saw it was a man. His skin was somewhat of a mixture of white, brown and black, I couldn't figure out the colour.
As he came closer he started to speak. I had never heard the language but I somehow recognized it. To my amazement I could understand it. He was speaking towards me, but not to me. What he said was beautiful. He said “Come here my child, for you have nothing to fear with Me. Walk along side Me and you will never feel the need of anything ever again.”

When the man was close enough I stood up. At that moment he was within five meters of me. I asked him “Where are we?” And he answered “We are where you want us to be. We can be anywhere.” I looked around for the second time and my heart nearly skipped a beat; we were in my childhood home, in the living room.
The man sat down and so did I.

After a short while I asked him “Are you God?”

“Yes.” He answered.

“But if you are God then I must be dead.”

“Must you?” He asked. “For you to be dead you had to be living at some point.”

“Are you saying I don’t exist?”

“No. On the contrary; you are the only one that exists.”

“What are you saying?”

“I am saying that you are the only human being in the world.”

I did not quite understand what he was talking about and he must have realized that because he said. “You are the only man in the world and every other human is your imagination. What I am telling you now I have told you countless of times.”

I started to get very confused and felt a headache coming. “Just to get this straight; I am not dead because I was never alive, I am the only man and everything else is my imagination and you have told me this before? How come I can’t remember it then?”

God signed and pointed to the door. “When you walk through that door you will be born again. You will know everything from all your past ‘lives’ but not remember anything from them.”

“What is the point in this?”

“The point is very simple; when you have lived through everything you will know everything and then you will become God.”

“So I will replace you?”

“Correct.”

“And the only thing I have to do is walk through that door?” I pointed at the door and felt a small shiver lead up my spine.

“Also correct.”

I stood up in haste and was going to walk to the door when God interrupted me. “But I must warn you; you are automatically walking to your doom.”

“I know, but since I don’t really live I don’t really die either, do I?” I said, with a grin, and walked through the door.

“Smart kid” mumbled God “I wonder how long it will take him this time to figure out that he is my son.”

All Because of Me
   Just one more minute, one more moment. It was all I needed, and I blew it. She’s gone, forever, all because of me. Our eyes will never meet, our hands never interlock, our love never shared ever again. And it’s all because of me. She was my entire life, my whole inspiration and purpose in life. I lived every day of my being just to spend even a single minute with her. She was my definition of beauty, for no one to ever come close to. And now I have nothing and nobody else, in the world right enough for me. And it’s all because of me.
   My senior year of high school was picturesquely perfect. I was a god who walked those halls, merely among common men, of those whom were barely worthy enough to bow down to me. Except something felt missing. For all the fun I was having, it just wasn’t satisfying, and for all I tried and tried it never would come to me why. That was, of course, until I met her. The way she could light up the room was indescribable. She literately made me freeze in my tracks, made me forget everything, and just know her. But no one else noticed this. So I saw it as a blessing, we were destined to be together and nothing would get in our way.
   Our simple passings in the hallways turned into eye contact, but awkward at first. Oh how her eyes shuttered like a pristine lake, glimmering like the sapphires given to her by birth. These very eyes starred into the depths of my soul and dug into me like a harpoon, latched in and never came out. So I pulled my churning stomach together, and went for it. The girl I had merely thought about, never talked to before, was not startled at all by my contact. She seemed to expect it, and very enthusiastically went on our first of many dates that Friday night. As the time passed, I fell in love with just everything about her; how she parted her golden locks, which clothes she wore on what days of the week, how she giggled when I tickled her, and how she breathed deep when I hugged her. But this the proverbial iceberg, I had only met the surface of this deep, dark twisted beauty.
   One late night, after going to a friends party, she broke down in the car on our way to her house. I didn’t understand what was going on, and any words I tried to say to comfort her were ignored. She just wept and wept, for no apparent reason at all. Finally, when we arrived at her house, she looked up from her tear soaked knees and make eye contact with me. Our eyes stayed there, interwoven, for God knows how long. All I could do was pull her in, hold her tight, and promise her that she could tell me anything in the entire world, and that no matter what happened I would be there for her in an instant. We spent 2 more hours that night just sitting in my car, talking. The love of my life opened up a wound that no one had ever cared enough to examine before, and she told me about how depression had affected her. She spent her nights, locked in her own room, cutting herself as she wept. The pain was the only way she knew how to come back from her nightmare of a life. Her parents were clueless, and she was lost in a deep sea of terror and confusion and fear all mixed into one grand tempest of her life. She feared for her very own life, because she never knew when or what would set off her sadness, her emptiness. She tired to stay strong that entire conversation, but I knew on the inside it took her all the courage and trust that was encompassed in her small and delicate body to tell me her deepest and darkest secrets. It was at that moment that I realized my own purpose-it was to save this girls life.
   After that night, things would never be the same. She expected me to abandon her, to throw her off like an outcast. But I didn’t, and she became my obelisk that I put all my energy and time into, and I knew that God intended me on saving her. Months passed, and she showed progress. I became a crutch for her to lean on, in times of trouble, and she went an entire month without touching that unforgiving blade. Then, one night, my phone rang. All I could hear was her, sobbing with a waterfall down her face, telling me to come over as soon as I could, because she had lost it. She had her father’s revolver held up to her head, minutes away from her life ending in a pull of a trigger. I bolted to my Dad’s car, the closest and fastest way I could think of to get to her, and left without a word to my family. I sped through the streets, taking every single way I could to save even just a second, because it could be the difference. I approached a stop sign, and after a split second decisions, stopping at this sign became a definite no. So I blew right through it, and then-nothing. The next thing I know, I am at the gates of Heaven, being told the story of my life and death to see if I am worth of this eternal life. It turned out that I was t-boned by a drunk driver who also ran that fateful intersection. I died on impact, but I will never be told if my angel made it that night. I will never know. And it’s all because of me.

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

What does the story say about how the protagonist feels about the girl?

answer: The protagonist feels deep love and concern for the girl due to her depression. He is determined to help her because she deserves happiness.

text: The answer fails to mention why the protagonist is determined to help the girl. The answer should include this detail.

She was [his] definition of beauty" no one could ever come close. She lit up the room, made him freeze in his tracks, made him forget everything. She had eyes that shuttered like a pristine lake, glimmering like sapphires. They "stared into the depths of [his] soul and dug into [him] like a  harpoon." He fell in love with "just everything about her." Even after she revealed her self-harm and depressed nature, he doubled down and was committed to helping her. So much so that he drove haphazardly at top speed to get to her and save her life ultimately costing him his own. His only regret being that he wouldn't see her again.

text:
-The model should remove the quotation marks around 'inspiration and purpose in life' and the brackets around 'him' because they do not add meaning to the answer.
-The third sentence omits 'to.'
-The seventh sentence is unnecessary and somewhat redundant since a similar sentence was mentioned in the first sentence. This should be eliminated.

refinement: The protagonist was wholly in love with the girl, and she was his inspiration and purpose in life. He lived every day of his being to spend even a single minute with her.

So much so that he drove haphazardly at top speed to get to her and save her life, ultimately costing him his own. His only regret was that he wouldn't see her again.

answer: At first, the protagonist doesn't think other people notice the girl, but once they start "interlocking", he knows he loves her. He feels connected and thinks she's special and beautiful. He breaks down in tears when she tells him about her depression and starts supporting her. When she tries to commit suicide and he thinks she's lost to him, he drives as fast as he can to reach her and finds out that it was because of his death and not hers: even at the gates of heaven, someone doesn't want him since he died before saving her from death.

text: The first line of the sentence is inaccurate and made up. Nothing in the story indicates that people didn't notice the girl. It's also uncertain what the model means by 'interlocking' in this sentence, which should be removed from the answer.

refinement: The protagonist feels immense attraction for the girl right from the very first day he saw her. He feels connected to her and thinks she's special and beautiful. He breaks down in tears when she tells him about her depression and starts supporting her. When she tries to commit suicide and he thinks she's lost to him, he drives as fast as he can to reach her and finds out that it was because of his death and not hers: even at the gates of heaven, someone doesn't want him since he died before saving her from death.

text:
-The third sentence inaccurately mentions that the protagonist broke down in tears after the girl told him about her depression. This is not according to the story and should be written correctly as it appears in the story.
-The concluding aspect of the answer is also not accurately written. The part that states 'someone doesn't want him since he died before saving her from death' is entirely made up. This should be removed.

Even after she revealed her self-harm and depressed nature, he doubled down and was committed to helping her. So much so that he drove haphazardly at top speed to get to her when she called him to save her life, ultimately costing him his own. His only regret was that he wouldn't see her again.

answer: The protagonist fell in love with everything about the girl, from her hair and clothes to the way she giggled and took deep breaths. The way the girl's eyes shiuter and speckled like a lake made him freeze. He was lost in everything about her. He was thrilled when the girl opened up to him and told him her deepest secrets. The girl's happiness gave him purpose and he wanted to be there to save the life of that beauty.

text: The model fails to add that the protagonist loved the way she parted her hair, the way she dressed, the way she giggled when he tickled her, and the way she took deep breaths when he hugged her.

From the way she parted her hair, to the way she dressed, the way she giggled when he tickled her, and her deep breaths when he hugged her.

From the way she parted her hair to the way she dressed, to the way she giggled when he tickled her, and her deep breaths when he hugged her. He was lost in everything about her. He was also thrilled when the girl opened up to him and told him her deepest secrets. The girl's happiness gave him purpose and he wanted to be there to save the life of that beauty.

text: The story does not mention that he was thrilled she told him her deepest secrets, so this should be removed or replaced with something more accurate.

refinement: The protagonist fell in love with everything about the girl. From the way she parted her hair to the way she dressed, to the way she giggled when he tickled her, and her deep breaths when he hugged her. He was lost in everything about her. He feels more drawn and protective of her when she tells him her deepest secrets. The girl's happiness gave him purpose and he wanted to be there to save the life of that beauty.

text: The answer omits the girl's deepest secrets which gave the protagonist purpose to save her life. The answer should mention this.

refinement: The protagonist fell in love with everything about the girl. From the way she parted her hair to the way she dressed to the way she giggled when he tickled her and her deep breaths when he hugged her. He was lost in everything about her. He feels more drawn and protective of her when she tells him of her self-harm habits and depression. The girl's happiness gave him purpose, and he wanted to save the life of that beauty.

answer: The protagonist feels deep love and commitment for the girl, enough to put her life at risk to try and save her. He is devastated that he accidentally caused her death and does not know if she made it or not. He misses her terribly, and nothing fills the void that she left.

text: The entire answer is highly inaccurate and should be rewritten more accurately.

refinement: The protagonist feels deep love and commitment for the girl from the first day he meets her. He feels connected to her and thinks she's special and beautiful. Even after she revealed her self-harm and depressed nature, he showed his commitment to her by doubling down and staying committed to helping her. So much so that he drove haphazardly at top speed to get to her when she called him to save her life, ultimately costing him his own. His only regret was that he wouldn't see her again.

Pushing through the the still wet air I found my way on to the dock through a morning fog that hid the world from view in all but five feet in any direction. My still damp knitted sweater that never seemed to dry or loose the smell of the sea weighed me down along with my cumbersome rubber boots. The long walk was lonely from my home and having left the Captain and my mates at Sullies with already too many empty pint glasses in front of them, I knew I be the first to get to the Mary Marget.

It had been a good catch yesterday, the first of many and if it hadn't been for a head heavy with a cold I'd have been drinking with them and warm and dry in my single bed listening to the fog horn that blanketed the coast with it's burdening moan.

I threw my gear into the Mary Marget with a loud thud and carefully climbed aboard. I was anxious for my cup of hot coffee and my first smoke of the day. It wasn't often that I could enjoy a morning alone like this so made a pot, filled a cup and headed back up to enjoy the sea air.

I looked out to the sea through the thick fog. I listened to the calm ocean lapping against the boat. It was quiet. A gull cried in the distance. The coffee warmed me. I held my pose like a statue in my contentment.

When I closed my eyes to fill my lungs and exhale the moment, I heard something. It was a melody. A voice so faint it wove itself through the wall of fog and lightly tickled my ear. I could only make out a few notes but there was something familiar about the song. A sad joy lifted me.

Straining my eyes, I looked in it's direction, searching for a source but seeing nothing through the grey haze. My heart raced at the desire to hear to know what the song was. I climbed back up to the empty dock and started walking slowly toward the end.

A soft woman's voice grew louder as I approached. The tone was as clear as glass and danced in the air around me. A vague shape appeared thought the mist. The silhouette of a woman. Her back was to me. Her light slender body was covered in a in a black humble dress and shawl. She stood poised, facing the sea and her long black hair blew delicately in a breeze that didn't seem to exist.

*"...Take heed, young eaglet, till thy wings

Are feathered fit to soar

A little rest and then

The world is full of work to do
A little rest and then

The world is full of work to do

Sing hushabye loo, low loo, low lan

Hushabye loo, low loo"*

When she finished singing her the tender lullaby floated on the silence of the brisk morning. I stood motionless and stared at the stranger that pulled bitter sweet memories from me that had been forgotten decades ago.

"My Grand Da used to sing that song to me", I said.

She turned her head slowly with the grace of bird soaring in the wind and peered over her shoulder with out a startle. Her eyes were pale crystal blue and beamed from her light white skin with a beauty that men have sailed around the world for.

"Pardon me." she spoke gently, "I was saying goodbye to a friend."

 "I didn't me to disturb you, ma'am"

Turning, she walked towards me, gliding over the wet wooden beams. She cut through the mist and contrasted the white world around us with her black hair and garb. Her hand reached up and and touched my face softly. Her complexion was flawless and her skin seemed as soft as clouds. As eyes of angels looked at me, her cool fingers felt my unshaven face and a smile kissed her lips.

"No," she said, "I think we were supposed to meet."

title: The Siren, The Fog and The Forgoten

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

Describe the themes that are present in this story.

answer: The main theme present in this story is connections made in unlikely places. The protagonist hears a voice singing through the fog and finds themselves drawn to the mystery of it all. The woman turns out to be a Siren who was saying goodbye to a friend, but she eventually connects with the protagonist. The experience brings forth nostalgia and the sometimes surprising gifts of interacting with strangers.

text: Being that the themes aren't overtly present in the story, it would be better to suggest themes in speculative terms.

refinement: It's possible that a main theme present in this story is connections made in unlikely places. The protagonist hears a voice singing through the fog and finds themselves drawn to the mystery of it all. The woman turns out to possible be a Siren who was saying goodbye to a friend, but she eventually connects with the protagonist. The experience brings forth nostalgia and the sometimes surprising gifts of interacting with strangers.

answer: The themes in this story are loneliness, hope, and the possibility of finding love again. The narrator is lonely and wandering the dock at dawn when he hears a voice singing a song he remembers from his childhood. This woman's presence, her voice, and her touch gives the narrator hope in a time when he had lost that hope. She reminds him that there is still love out there, and the world is full of work to do. This story is about the chance to find love again, even in the midst of isolation.

text: This is far too speculative. The narrator isn't really lonely, despite going on a lonely walk. He seems to enjoy his quiet morning throughout the story before he meets the woman. There is also no mention of the narrator needing to finding love again. It would make more sense that the story is about fate or nostalgia.

refinement: It's possible a theme in the story is fate, as the woman says to the narrator, "I think we were supposed to meet."

answer: The ideas of nostalgia and the pull of curiosity are present in the tale. A man's idea of beauty and the draw of it.

refinement: It's possible the sea is theme present in this story. The narrator's recollections of their grand father could also be another theme.

text: It would make more sense to add what the recollections represent. Adding "nostalgia" to that point would make more sense.

refinement: It's possible the sea is theme present in this story. The narrator's recollections of their grand father causing nostalgia could also be another theme.

answer: The theme of a fisherman encountering a siren seems to be a common one in folklore.

text: "When I closed my eyes to fill my lungs and exhale the moment, I heard something. It was a melody." This very well could represent a siren.

When the fisherman hears the song, what does it remind him of?

answer: The song reminds the fisherman of his Grandfather singing to him as a child. It brings back memories of happier times.

refinement: The song reminds the fisherman of his Grandfather singing to him as a child.

answer: It reminds him of his Grand Da.

answer: The song reminds the fisherman of his grandfather who used to sing the same song to him as a child.

answer: It's not clear who she is beyond she is a beautiful young woman who is likewise an angel.

text: The song that lures the narrator is omitted.

refinement: It's not clear who she is beyond she is a beautiful young woman who is likewise an angel. She sings a lullaby that lures the narrator to her.

text: It's not known if the woman is an angel. She could even be a siren. It's best to use speculative terms with this assumption.

refinement: It's not clear who she is beyond she is a beautiful young woman who is possibly an angel or siren. She sings a lullaby that lures the narrator to her.

answer: The woman is a mysterious figure that appears from the fog and sings a lullaby. She is likely an otherworldly being.
