The contract for Cyprus’ first integrated casino resort, the only one of its kind in Europe, was signed on Monday in Nicosia between the gaming authority and the Melco Hard Rock consortium and is designed to provide for an investment of €500m, attract an extra 300,000 tourists a year, and to add 4,000 jobs.

The contract was signed at the Filoxenia Conference Centre between the president of the National Gaming Authority and Andy Choy, chief gaming officer, of the consortium of Melco International Development Ltd, Seminole HR Holdings LLC (Melco Hard Rock) and CNS Group (Cyprus Phassouri Zakaki Ltd).
Energy, Commerce and Tourism Minister Yiorkos Lakkotrypis, who addressed the event, touted the fact that the Limassol complex would be the only integrated casino resort in Europe, which will be based in Limassol, and will include four satellite casinos in Nicosia, Larnaca, Famagusta and Paphos.

The main resort will also be the largest casino in Europe, the minister said with 136 gaming tables, 1,200 gaming machines, a luxury hotel with 500 rooms with the capacity for expansion, a conference hall spanning 6,000 square metres that can accommodate audiences of 1,500, and a wellness centre covering 4,000 square metres.

“Total investment is expected to exceed half a billion euros and is estimated to create more than 4,000 jobs during the construction phase and the same number during operation,” Lakkotrypis said.
“This is undoubtedly, a project that will enrich our tourism product, attracting an additional 300,000 tourists annually and contributing significantly to combating seasonality,” he added.

The casino licence allows for the operation of an integrated casino resort in Cyprus for 30 years, as a monopoly for the first 15. Finance Minister Harris Georgiades said earlier this year that the casinos would bring in €100m a year in taxes.

The satellite casino in Nicosia is estimated to be up and running this year, and a temporary casino in Limassol – until the full-blown casino resort is ready. This will likely be located at the current premises of the Monte Caputo nightspot on Amathus Avenue. Construction on the resort – which will include a luxury hotel and theme parks – is expected to be completed by late 2019 or early 2020.

Lakkotrypis said that due to its size and importance, the casino was probably the most important project Cyprus has seen in decades.

He also said it was important that part of the government’s vision was that the casino would operate in a controlled manner so that vulnerable groups would be protected.

The previous government under Demetris Christofias had vowed to never allow a casino for social reasons but the financial crisis in 2013 prompted the current government to see it as a way to attract investment. Lakkotrypis said the age restriction has been set at 21.

“Our goal is the improvement of incoming tourism, increasing arrivals, and average spending per capita, and also to see this contribute to the ongoing efforts to address the problem of seasonality in the Cypriot tourism industry,” he said.

“Our other strategic objective was the creation of new jobs and additional tax revenue, supporting sectors that will be associated with the casino, and attracting further foreign investment.”

The casino operations will be overseen by the six-member National Gaming Authority, set up only five months ago, headed by Christos Mavrellis who said during the signing ceremony that its mission would be among other duties, to make sure the operation did not fall under criminal influence or exploitation.

The body will also make sure the games in the casino are conducted honestly, to make sure the operator complies with the terms of the licence and to monitor any negative social consequences.

“We shall exercise our authority and perform our duties and responsibilities in good faith always aiming at making this ambitious project a success,” he said.

Before the war, he told me, all the kids went around munching mumpsicles. "Mumpsicles? What is that?" I asked. "What does it sound like," he said with a snort. That's the way it always was with Uncle Hobo. He had seen it all before and who was I to second guess him.
I suppose I should be happy that I get to go to his practice for free, ever since I moved in on his street and my parents got stabbed. A kind heart in that one. But every time I go in for a check-up, his remarks make me less than a little bit comfortable.

"Come on in, Gordon. Take a seat. Have a lolly, won't you?" Always with that smile. That's the thing about it- he always respects you first, reels you in with some prospect and then disappoints. Gordon's my name, all right, but I sure as hell dont see no lollies.

And that's not the half of it. He wasnt my uncle anyway but he doesnt like formal titles like "doctor." Says they make him feel old. Threw away his diploma years ago- I sure havent seen it. Hell, he doesnt even wear the garb- calls it pretentious and what have you.

We go through the procedure, same as always: he puts his stethoscope to my bare chest, checks in my eyes and ears, and tells me to say "ah." The only thing that concerns him is my blood pressure. I'm not a big salt eater so this comes as a surprise. "Since when is my blood pressure high, Uncle Hobo? I've been eating my greens, I swear!"

"Have you now, boy?" says Uncle Hobo rifling through some papers, barely looking up. A long pause as he grunts to himself. "Have I ever told you how blood works, Gordon?"

I considered his question. "No, sir, I don't believe you have." I replied, bracing for one of his wordly explanations.

"Well then, to understand why blood is important, we must first turn to veins and arteries."

I listened intently, taking my hand out of my pocket and then putting it back in.

He continued, peering through his spectacles, "Now you see, Gordon, blood is like dogs and veins are like dog racing tracks. Have you ever been to a dog race, Gordon?"

"Yes, sir, I sure have," I exclaimed.

"Well then you of all people should know that veins are like racing tracks for medium-sized dogs, arteries are like racing tracks for large dogs, and capillaries are tracks for small dogs."

I listened intently. I let the knowledge wash over me like awakening to a sunrise.

"In your arteries you got your Alpine Spaniels, your Cesky Terriers, your Lapponian Herders, oh and your Otterhounds..."

I quietly inserted my hand into my pocket, my eyes fixated on his.

"...Gotta remember your Polish Lowland Sheepdogs, your Giant Schnauzers, your Japanese Spitz..."

I began to move my hand back out of my pocket, staring at his face.

"...Your Great Danes in the arteries too, of course. And in your veins, that's where you find your Dachshunds, your Labradors, your Dalmatians, a good deal of Collies..."

I put both of my hands into my pocket and took one of them out, then I put one hand in as I took the other hand out. I was still listening to his fascinating words.

"...your Mastiffs and Boxers. Not to forget your Bloodhounds in your veins and your Bulldogs..."

This time I took both hands out of my pockets and my eyes never left his. I couldnt believe what I was learning about blood.

"In your capillaries--they're the tiniest--you have your Chihuahuas, Pomeranians and Chow Chows, your Poodles, your Bassett Hounds, your Cocker Spaniels, can't forget your English Setters..."

Trying to encourage Uncle Hobo, I shouted at the top of my lungs "WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!" He took it as encouragement and kept talking.

"Also, Gordon, in your capillaries you have your Pugs, your Jack Russell Terriers (remember Wishbone, Gordon?), your Miniature Schnauzers, and your Shitzhus. See what I mean?"

I nodded excitedly and shouted "I sure as hell understand, Uncle Hobo. Better than I ever did before!"

Uncle Hobo looked satisfied. He gazed at me and then reached for something.

"Gordon, it's time for me to give you something." proclaimed Uncle Hobo.

He got a hypodermic needle in his shopping cart. We were on the sidewalk at the time, where he sleeps. He stabbed his shoulder, extracted some blood. Then he stabbed the needle into my shoulder and with a push of his thumb, all his blood entered my bloodstream.

Uncle Hobo explained: "There- now you can see the color 'threeve.'"

Sure enough, there it was all around me. The sky had tinges of 'threeve' and passersby had 'threeve'-colored hair and even there was 'threeve' in a discarded hamburger wrapper on the street. Why couldn't I see 'threeve' before? Was it a special property of Uncle Hobo's own blood? Whatever it was, I was grateful. 'Threeve' would be my new friend.

I thanked Uncle Hobo and left my appointment, but not before giving him a present of my own. I reached into my pocket and pulled out the little man I had hidden there: he stood on my extended palm and performed gymnastic feats before bursting in an explosion of scalding blood. The blood got into Uncle Hobo's eyes and blinded him. I told him it was okay because now he can always see the color 'bars,' because I was a police and he was under arrest. He laughed and he licked my cheek. I handcuffed him- he wasnt a doctor or my uncle. He was a filthy hobo. Case solved.

The surname STAMP is the anglicized version of the French family name, D'ÉTAMPES,[1] which in turn is a locational derivation from Étampes (lat. _Stampae_), a community near Paris, France. [ 175px|Remnants of the _Tour de Guinette_ at _Château d'Étampes_]

d'Étampes origins

The mid-12th-century German colonization of the Siebenbürgen region (_kartewanderung_) found members of the d'Étampes _Sippe_ tasked with developing and defending the southeastern border of the Kingdom of Hungary[2] - actions integral to the emergence of the _Siebenbürger Sachsen_, or Transylvanian Saxons,[3][4] who were afforded provisional autonomy under the _Diploma Andreanum_ of 1224.[5][6] In accordance with the official recognition of the Augsburg Confession by the Siebenbürgen synod in 1572, this d'Étampes sept was converted in its entirety from Roman Catholicism to Lutheranism.[7]

Variations and anglicization of the d'Étampes name

The earliest known alteration of the d'Étampes name on English record dates to 1191, with the _Pipe Rolls of the City of London_ listing one John de Stampes. Sir Thomas Stampe appears as the first known bearer of a more anglicized version of the _Sippe_ name in England, evidenced on the feet of fines for Essex in 1424; a Thomas Stamp is also listed as father on a recovered christening record for Abigale Stamp, dated 7 April 1588 in Colchester, Essex.[8] One may also note the contemporary spelling of the surname of Johann Stamp of Mortesdorf, Süd-Siebenbürgen on extant vital records for two of his sons, Michael Stamp (b 1682 / d 1742) and Andreas Stamp (b 1684 / d 1769). Joe Stamp, Lord of the North ventured into England mid 14th Century.

_Châteaux d'Étampes_ and _de Valençay_

The _Château d'Étampes_ housed the royal seat of Robert II of France at the start of the 11th century. [ 300px|_Château de Valençay_] In 1540, a French descendant of the d'Étampes _Sippe_ and _conseiller d'État_, Jacques d'Étampes de Valençay, ordered construction of the family residence, _Château de Valençay_, in the Loire Valley on a hillside overlooking the Nahon River.

text:
A nation's Intelligence Agency released a 140 page report detailing the lack of food and water for the planet's growing population, the inevitability of climate change to keep elevating dangerous weather conditions, and the destined collapse of the current monetary system.  The whole nation was already full of unhappy people, a generation that had been fed the lie that if they worked hard they would eventually be prosperous and happy, were unemployed or held dead-end jobs where they were constrained, bored, underpaid and unappreciated.  They were furious at being mislead.  A generation of baby-boomers before them had stolen all of the prosperity from the nation and left a dying planet behind as their inheritance.

The nation’s news-media grew increasingly cynical, morbid and depressing every day.  Networks were purely out to make money and the dying nation, which felt helpless to help itself, ate up these stories and wallowed in its unhappiness.  As a result those with mental disorders such as antisocial personality disorder, psychopathy and narcissistic personality disorder, began to believe that they were in fact part of the majority, as people had forgotten long ago that TV was not a true representation of reality.  Such individuals became so convinced of their normalcy that they never sought out the mental counseling they so desperately needed, and as their self-assurance grew so did their boldness.

A few started openly killing innocents, and once made famous by the greed of the media, more joined in.  Soon even innocent children were not safe from the crossfire.  With every disaster that befell the nation its people, scared and delusional, gave up one civil liberty after another until the freedom the nation once held proudly over the heads of the rest of the world was nothing more than a distant memory.  Its citizens grew divided between the five stages of grief; denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance as though each stage were in fact an ideology to live by.

Only a small percentage of the population had made it to the final stage and the deniers were so desperate to believe that everything would be OK that they turned their back completely on science and reason, the two things that human beings prided themselves on the most.  The desperate actively ignored the evidence that came to light more and more every day, and lashed out at those who sought to end their ignorance.  These people controlled vital aspects of the government, and so the nation was locked in a terrible stand still, completely unable to deal with the current problems and imminent dangers of the future.

Only one solution seemed to remain; revolution.  A total revision of government and civilization.  But revolution was never to happen, too much of the nation had become convinced that they were completely helpless to influence the world, and reverted to total depression, complete apathy or a mix of the two.  Each time an uprising started it was never able to gain enough momentum to stop the government from quelling it, through military and police action, and more powerfully through clever manipulation of the press and propaganda.  People came to fear conflict more than anything, especially amongst themselves and so they created societal restrictions on which words they could say and which situations they could show in movies and on TV. In this stifling environment people became unable to think for themselves, and creativity and originality were snuffed out.  Suicides, murders and sickness grew.

Some began openly hoping for the end of their world.  Nature began lashing out in its death throes as the misery of money continued to strangle it.  Floods, droughts, blizzards, and terrible storms wreaked havoc across the planet.  Wars over resources broke out around the globe, and finally the government took total control of the nation through military and police supervision.  Each and every citizen was now a ward of the state, but even with strict laws in place limiting the production of more children the population had already grown too large to sustain.  Soon governments around the world began to consider something once thought to be unthinkable-nuclear war.

All it took was one missile, and all pandemonium broke out. No one can remember who made the first move, but it hardly mattered once a nuclear winter, an event which scientists had been warning about for decades, consumed the planet.  The access to food and water, already scarce, became virtually non-existent and the starving population bottlenecked.  The humans, plants and animals that managed to survive were plagued with genetic mutations and disease.  Extinctions on a massive scale ravaged the land and sea.  Eventually only a small niche of organic life remained, breeding and evolving over many thousands of years to create a new era.  Although some mutated form of the human genome survived, the human race is never again at the top of the food chain.

All information that humans had gathered and analyzed over the centuries was lost forever, for you see, the human race had been so distracted by war and money that they had never mastered space travel.  When the sun eventually went supernova, any existence of life on the planet Earth and possibly in the entire known universe was completely eliminated.  Doomed to revert to the stardust which had originally allowed for its creation.

The end.

-Governments take total control over nations and enforce martial law
-Resources start to run low, wars start, nuclear war breaks out, and the earth gets ravaged
-Humanity is destroyed and in future eras of life is never as important as it was before

answer: The story has three major events: the government controls with military supervision, the population grows too large, and nuclear war breaks out. Beyond that, the entire world is no longer sustainable, and as a nation devolves into panic, its people give up civil liberties.

text: It has more than three events and this summary is not in order

refinement:
-A nation's intelligence agency releases a report about global lack of food and water, the destined collapse of the current monetary system, and climate change being inescapable
-Cynical news media alters people's perceptions of reality, and people with mental health issues become convinced of their normalcy
-People start killing innocents, more people start killing innocents, nations slip into chaos
-Governments take total control over nations and enforce martial law
-Resources start to run low, wars start, nuclear war breaks out, and the earth gets ravaged
-Humanity is destroyed and in future eras of life is never as important as it was before

answer: The decreasing amount of resources due to climate change and the killing of innocents by a small group of people lead to massive riots and government take over. In an effort to prevent war, governments start considering using nuclear weapons on each other, which eventually causes nuclear winter. This causes a major decrease in resources, especially food and water. The humans and animals that survive have mutations and disease.

-Resources start to run low, wars start, nuclear war breaks out, and the earth gets ravaged
-Humanity is destroyed and in future eras of life is never as important as it was before

answer: The major events of this story are that a hostile and pessimistic atmosphere builds in a nation's news-media, leading to violence against innocents. Eventually the country falls into anarchy and war spreads globally. This eventually leads to the end of all life on Earth due to nuclear war or the sun going supernova. The cause and ultimate ramifications of this bleak future are the result of the people being misled by inaction on the part of the government and a critical dismissal of scientific findings.

The cause and ultimate ramifications of this bleak future are the result of the people being misled by inaction on the part of the government and a critical dismissal of scientific findings.

text: This is not a concise coverage of all the reasons

refinement:
-A nation's intelligence agency releases a report about global lack of food and water, the destined collapse of the current monetary system, and climate change being inescapable
-Cynical news media alters people's perceptions of reality, and people with mental health issues become convinced of their normalcy
-People start killing innocents, more people start killing innocents, nations slip into chaos
-Governments take total control over nations and enforce martial law
-Resources start to run low, wars start, nuclear war breaks out, and the earth gets ravaged
-Humanity is destroyed and in future eras of life is never as important as it was before

answer: The story begins with a dire report of environmental conditions and an increasingly unhappy populace. A minority of individuals with antisocial personality disorders take advantage of the high level of desperation, increasing the level of violence. This leads to a rapid decline in individual rights and freedoms. Finally, nuclear war wipes out all life on Earth.

Wow, this is fun. Running around in the woods with my best friends in the world, laughing, giggling, and pretending to be wizards from Harry Potter. I weave and dodge through the trees when I spot Gia coming towards me. I yell an expelliarmus and duck behind a bush. Crawling backwards, I find a pile of leaves and partially cover myself, trying to blend in. Unfortunately, she sees me. She screeches out a Petrificus Totalus and scampers off. I can’t chase her, because she froze me. Man, I’m having fun. Unfortunately, Mason isn’t.

	“Hey Gardner, let’s get out of here,” he rambles as he pulls me out of the leaves. I try to object but he keeps talking. “I can’t believe I agreed to this, it’s so lame and nerdy. Why don’t we go to my house? I’ve got this huge TV and a DVR full of George Lopez.”

	“Mason, what are you doing?” I hear John yell, moments before he hops out from behind a tree about twenty yards away from where we are now. “This is fun!”

	“No, it’s really not,” objects Mason. I groan.

	“It’s fun for us. If you don’t like it, why did you come?”

	“Because I wanted to be with my friends, but I’m sorry. This sucks.”

	“Hey, what are you doing? I froze him!” Gia exclaims as she sprints towards us. “Do you even know the spell to unbind him?”

	“Look, I’m out of here,” Mason says, firmly.

	“How about this. You can leave here if you beat me in a duel,” John suggests.

	“...A duel? A Harry Potter duel?” Mason sounds incredulous. “Fine. Whatever.”

	Gia and I watch as the two idiots get ready. John makes a big show of twirling his “wand” around and drops it. Mason just stands and waits. John is telling Mason the rules when Gia sees that she dropped her wallet behind where Mason is standing. As she is picking up, John yells for the duel to start. He lifts his wand and screams “Avada Kedavra,” an unforgivable curse that kills anyone who it is cast on. A green light shoots out of the twig in his hand, and Mason jumps out of the way in terror. Unfortunately, Gia doesn’t see it coming.

	“What the…?” Is all I can say as I stumble over to where Gia is laying.

	“What happened?” Mason asks, looking concerned.

	“John just like...frickin...shot Gia. I think she’s dead.”

	“John, why would you do that?”

	“What do you mean ‘Why would you do that?’” John asks, incredulous. “I thought that we were just messing around. I swear I didn’t do it on purpose!”

	“Then why did you do it?” Mason asks, accusingly.

	“Look, I didn’t expect you to know any spells, so I figured this would be an easy way to shut you up. I didn’t expect real freaking magic to happen!”

	“Guys,” I say. “Calm down, let’s think about this. We need to figure out what to do with the body. We can’t just leave it.”

	“Yeah we can!” Says John. “I am not going to let anyone find out that I killed somebody!”

	“No one is actually going to believe it was you. I mean, come on. Magic? No one would buy that!”

	“I think we should leave her,” says Mason. “I mean, she was kinda annoying.”

	“What?” I ask, flabbergasted.

	“Yeah. I don’t want to be seen with that corpse. She has on like eighteen bracelets. Totally ratchet.”

	“...Ratchet?”

	“Ratchet. I didn’t even like her that much when she was alive. I always asked her to buy me chicken fingers, and she never, ever would.”

	“You’re going to leave her out here over chicken fingers?” Interjects John. “At least I have a good reason.”

	“No,” I say. “Neither have you have a good reason.” I look down at my deceased friend, and I’m rendered speechless. Her mouth is actually moving. “Oh, my god! Guys, check this out! She’s actually alive!”

	“What?” Cries John as he lifts his wand again. “Avada Kedavra!”

	“What was that for?” I scream, furious. “She wasn’t dead! What was your line of thinking there?”

	“Dead people should stay dead.”

	“He’s right,” adds Mason.

	“Shut up, shut up both of you!” I say, taking control of the situation. “What are we going to do now that we know she’s definitely dead.”

	“I have a cousin in Chicago. This happens all the time there, I’ll ask him for advice.”

	“Exactly,” says Mason. “We’re not that far from the hood. I’m sure we could get some good advice there.”

	“Mason,” I say. “It was a ten minute drive here from the suburbs.”

	“I’m just saying,” Mason says, indignant.

	“Look, this was John’s fault. Because of John I’m going to miss NCIS tonight.”

	“Yeah, John. This is messed up. I have to go to VBS next week and because of you I can’t start my George Lopez re-watch until August.”

	We’re just standing here, totally at a loss for what to do. Then, out of nowhere, it hits me. “Check her pockets!”

	“Why?” Mason asks, obviously not following my train of thought.

	“Her keys! Look, I found them!”

	“All right, George Lopez!”

	“Wait!” John yells out. We look at him, curious that he may have had a change of heart. “How about we all go to my house and have a Call of Duty tournament?”

	“Yeah!” Mason and I call out in unison. Keys in hand, we walk to her car, load up and head out. I feel like this is going to be a good week.

title: "Whoops." Harry Potter LARPing goes wrong.

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

Summarize how guilt and remorse are characterized in this story.

answer: No answer

text: While the characters do not show any form of guilt or remorse, the lack of guilt and remorse is in itself a discussion about guilt and remorse.

refinement: The characters show no level of guilt or remorse over the death of Gia. Instead, they consider it as a bother. The story shows that even during tragic events, there are people who are not affected by it, even if the people are directly responsible for what happened.

answer: All three friends feel guilty over the death, the narrator most of all. No one feels the moment of death will come closer than those seconds that Gia is standing, alive and beholding their silence. This was the moment for which the friends prepared, a thrill unmatched and one in which would add to their quest, that is until an aimless curse from John splattered Gia's brain. Carried by the momentum toward instinct rather than from the desire to actually kill, they all chuckle. Mason, the protagonist of the video game being referenced, tells everyone that they shouldn't appear on the same page lest any of them be traced to the murder. The villain steps in to overstep, and robs Gia of life all over again. The death is unfair and unjust because Gia never got to eat her chicken fingers.

text: The contents of the response are wrong. They do not feel guilt. The spell casted is not confirmed to affect the brain. Gia does not want to eat chicken fingers. There is no video game being referenced.

refinement: The characters show no level of guilt or remorse over the death of Gia. Instead, they consider it as a bother. The story shows that even during tragic events, there are people who are not affected by it, even if the people are directly responsible for what happened.

answer:
Chiev's and Mason's response to Gia's death is pretty blasy and cynical. Mason pins the responsibility on John, who is a bit shocked.
They quickly talk themselves into a mindset that they really don't care one whit about Gia, and how much they hate hanging out with her. This is just related to how guilt and remorse are characterized in this story.

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

What would the characters do to explain Gia's absence to her family and friends?

answer: They would all probably get together and submit a falsified story to Gia's family that she died in an accident.

answer: They would probably tell her family and friends that Gia is on a vacation or sick.

answer: They would probably tell her family and friends that Gia is dead.

text: The question asks what the characters would say to explain why Gia is dead or missing. Simply stating she is dead does not provide a reason for her being dead.

refinement: Since they are asking for advice from someone who apparently deals with dead bodies, it is likely that the three will provide a falsified story to explain how Gia died.

answer: They decide to just not mention it and say that she had a problem and left in a hurry.

answer: No answer

text: "what would" heavily implies that instruction is asking for a hypothetical response, as such, an answer must be given.

refinement: Since they are asking for advice from someone who apparently deals with dead bodies, it is likely that the three will provide a falsified story to explain how Gia died.

answer: They would all probably get together and submit a falsified story to Gia's family that she died in an accident. The story is a spoof.

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

How do the characters change throughout the story?

answer: At the beginning the characters get on each other's nerves, Patrick believes this is fun, John Mason disagrees. By the end John wants a Call of Duty tournament, Mason is complaining about time wasted, and Patrick is content.

text: They do not get on each other's nerves at the start. The narrator's name is not given. Gia is not mentioned. John's initial status was not given.

refinement: Gia, the narrator, and John are playing seriously. The narrator believes this is fun, though Mason disagrees. By the end Gia is killed by John who wants a Call of Duty tournament, Mason is complaining about time wasted, and Patrick is content having gotten Gia's car.

answer: They all seem to be less concerned about Gia's death, especially the repetitiveness of their actions (fighting, continuously freezing and unfreezing each other, killing Gia and forgetting her) suggests a lack of respect for Gia as a person

text: The response starts with Gia's death and fails to show how the characters are prior to her death. The instruction requires showing the change of states for each character. Just showing the result is not enough to quantify the answer.

refinement: Gia, the narrator, and John are playing seriously. The narrator believes this is fun, though Mason disagrees. By the end Gia is killed by John who wants a Call of Duty tournament, Mason is complaining about time wasted, and Patrick is content having gotten Gia's car.

answer: They all seem to be less concerned about Gia's death, especially the repetitiveness of their actions (fighting, continuously freezing and unfreezing each other, killing Gia and forgetting her) suggests a lack of respect for life and Gia as a person.

text: The response starts with Gia's death and fails to show how the characters are prior to her death. The instruction requires showing the change of states for each character. Just showing the result is not enough to quantify the answer. The line about the repetitiveness of actions is incorrect in context (the way they played does not reflect their character).

refinement: Gia, the narrator, and John are playing seriously. The narrator believes this is fun, though Mason disagrees. By the end Gia is killed by John who wants a Call of Duty tournament, Mason is complaining about time wasted, and Patrick is content having gotten Gia's car.

answer: John's kindness is replaced by mean spitefulness. He is shown to be a black, demented individual who delights in killing and cursing people for fun.

text: The other characters need to be mentioned and John is not stated to be a black person who delights in killing others.

refinement: Gia, the narrator, and John are playing seriously. The narrator believes this is fun, though Mason disagrees. By the end Gia is killed by John who wants a Call of Duty tournament, Mason is complaining about time wasted, and Patrick is content having gotten Gia's car.

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

Summarize the unexpected plot twist(s).

answer: Harry, his friends, and Gia are playing a game where they pretend to cast spells from the Harry Potter series. They fight with fake wands, and try to freeze each other. One of them actually does -Gia. The trio tries to hide her body, but she's not dead, she's just frozen. They continue with their LARPing game and decide to leave her to rot.

text: It was John who accidentally casted a real spell. The person who was hit was Gia. The trio do not hide the body, Gia is killed when they discover she is still alive (this is a plot twist, as the story is meant to be read by people familiar with Harry Potter, and thus the concept of the killing curse creates an expectation for the reader), and they do not continue the game afterwards.

refinement: The unexpected plot twists are: an actual spell is casted by John, Gia initially survives the curse, and the three guys don't really care about Gia to the point that her death is something they do not take seriously.

answer: The narrator thinks that his friends, who all don't seem to share his enthusiasm for LARP, will have a change of heart. But they seem uninterested, the spell they are using seems to cause a real magical effect (killing), so the plan goes terribly wrong. The narrator's friend gets killed, and two boys argue about who will be blamed for the murder. In the midst of their squabble, the lifeless girl wakes.

text: Not all the plot twists are mentioned, only the spell.

refinement: The unexpected plot twists are: an actual spell is casted by John, Gia initially survives the curse, and the three guys don't really care about Gia to the point that her death is something they do not take seriously.

answer: The narrator thinks that his friends, who all don't seem to share his enthusiasm for LARP, will have a change of heart. But they seem uninterested, the spell they are using seems to cause a real magical effect (killing), so the plan goes terribly wrong. The narrator's friend gets killed, and two boys argue about who will be blamed for the murder. In the midst of their squabble, the lifeless girl wakes. Each boy casts a killing curse. Throughout the series of arguments, the reader can sense the narrator may be a real spy, as he can't really seemed to care who killed Gia.

text: Most of the details in the response are not accurate with the narrative. The response also fails to isolate the answer the the instruction's question.

refinement: The unexpected plot twists are: an actual spell is casted by John, Gia initially survives the curse, and the three guys don't really care about Gia to the point that her death is something they do not take seriously.

answer: While engaging in a Harry Potter camp, the friends use Harry Potter LARP weapons to shoot spells. The weapons end up being real, as a gun fires during a duel with Hermione's shooting of Gia with Avada Kedavra. They decide to leave her body in the woods rather than going to John's house to play video games while a detective show, NCIS, is on TV.

text: They were LARPing on their own, not as part of a camp. John used a twig as a prop wand, there are no Harry Potter weapons. None of the characters are named Hermione.

refinement: The unexpected plot twists are: an actual spell is casted by John, Gia initially survives the curse, and the three guys don't really care about Gia to the point that her death is something they do not take seriously.

answer: Harry Potter LARPing turns ill-fated when LARP weapons and spells result in a crasi death. After having unkind words regarding her lack of cooking skills and abandonment in the woods with no real purpose, the male characters decided to move the body without summoning help. Gia wakes up while they are deciding what to do with her body, and John attempted to reload when Gia attempted to gab them, but still killed her again. Eventually the others become angry with John's craziness and leave Gia in the woods to die.

text: The wording of the response needs to be fixed.

refinement: Harry Potter LARPing turns bad when an actual spell is casted resulting in an unexpected death. The boys criticize the dead Gia and decide to hide her body by calling for someone who knows what to do. Gia wakes up while they are deciding what to do with her body, so John kills Gia again. Eventually, the others agree with what John wants to do, play video games and leave her body.
