The average worker receives 124 emails a day, but if you’re a leader, you may want to back away from your inbox. Keeping up with your messages can prevent you from achieving your goals and being a good leader, according to new research from Michigan State University published in the _Journal of Applied Psychology._

Managers spend at least 90 minutes a day recovering from email interruptions, and this distraction can be harmful, says Michigan State management professor Russ Johnson. “In some ways, managers are the nerve center of the organization,” he says. “All information comes through them and is disseminated to teams. On days when they’re overloaded by email, they scale back leadership behaviors, such as motivating and inspiring their team, talking optimistically about the future or explaining why work tasks are important.”

Stress narrows your attention, and managers who feel overwhelmed and unproductive because of email demands recover by focusing on smaller tactical duties like assigning tasks or setting goals, says Johnson.

“They focus on what’s happening right now, and there’s an evolutionary ring to it,” says Johnson. “If you were being chased by a lion, you wouldn’t be thinking about tomorrow or next week. Being overwhelmed causes managers to buckle down and focus on the most familiar, day-to-day stuff. They stay in their comfort zone, and future-oriented thoughts suffer.”

The manager’s team suffers from the lack of motivation and inspiration they need to thrive. As a result, employees’ performance, work satisfaction, organizational commitment, intrinsic motivation, and engagement decrease, while their stress and negative emotions increase, says Johnson.

Why email is a problem

Unlike other forms of communication, email causes stress because it’s more invasive, says Johnson. “When you’re face to face, it’s easier to say you don’t have time,” he says. “It’s easier to hit the send button than walk down the hallway or call someone.”

Email also seems harmless; seeing a message in your inbox provides the brain with a hit of dopamine, which is addictive. But most of us don’t realize the cognitive demands that happen when you switch between primary work activities, says Johnson. “It takes upwards of a minute or more after responding to an email to get back into whatever you’re doing,” he says. “You have to rediscover your train of thought before the interruption.”

And because email is quick and instant, many of us believe we have to respond immediately, says Johnson. Instead, reduce the amount of time you spend on email, and turn off notifications so you won’t be tempted or distracted, he suggests.

For example, use email settings to put your inbox on pause, says Aye Moah, chief of product and cofounder of the productivity software provider Boomerang. “Essentially you’ll have no email interruptions until you decide you’re ready,” she says. “You can set a schedule and pick two, three, five times a day to have email delivered—whatever works for you.”

Moah recommends pausing your inbox for at least 90 minutes. “This is the amount of time it takes to get into a state of flow, feeling creative, and making progress on something hard,” she says.

You also need to communicate your email patterns, because managers often feel chained to their email worrying that their staff might ask questions or need clarification.

“Their progress is blocked if you are not responding,” says Moah. “It’s great to pause interruptions, but set expectations. Let your staff know you are focusing on something and will get back to you in an hour or two. People will get to know your cadence, and when they can expect a response.”

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

Why do answering emails such a drain on a manager's time and resources?

answer: Simply because it takes them 8 minutes to recover from each interruption.

text: The assertion made in the response isn't backed up anywhere in the original article.

refinement: Simply because it takes them upwards of a minute and more to recover from each interruption.

text: The response covered just one of the many reasons given in the article.

refinement: Answering emails causes distractions because of their instant nature. Such distractions can be harmful and also affect productivity in the long term. The huge amount of emails received by an average manager can cause stress and a lack of motivation, making them less able to fully focus on tasks that are important to their role as a manager. Emails by nature are invasive and sometimes difficult to ignore, hence many managers are always compelled to answer them immediately, much to the managers' detriment.

answer: Managers who feel overwhelmed and unproductive because of email want to recover by focusing on smaller tactical duties. Stress narrows attention. Because email is quick and instant, managers feel a need to reduce the amount of time spent on email. In the advice, sending fewer emails will enable a manager to spend more time on which is important to the entire office.

answer: Email communication is addictive and invasive, causing managers to constantly switch tasks, which hinders their progress. The manager's team suffers as a result, because the manager refocuses on more tactical duties and on the day-to-day rather than important long-term goals. This decrease in motivation and inspiration leads to decreased employee performance, work satisfaction, and engagement.

answer: Email interrupts a manager's primary work activities, stresses them out and prevents them from focusing on long-term goals. This makes their team less productive, decreasing employee's performance and work satisfaction. The managerial time spent recovering from email demands also prevents them from focus on guiding their team in the right direction.

answer: Because an average worker receives over 100 emails a day, it is easy to imagine leaders of organizations receiving much more. Answering such emails can be a drain on mental resources for managers as well as draw them away from other important tasks. This is because email is an invasive technology and easy to send (as well as receive). Emails notifications also distract, interrupt, and tempt us to check our inbox every hour, thus facilitating unproductivity.

"There's been a terrible, horrible, unavoidable accident. And I'm sorry but your lover..." The following words that escaped that persons lips were white noise. The phone dropped into the dishwater. A spark jumped, but I didn't flinch. Didn't blink. My eyes burned. Singed with passion and pain. I pawed the faucet and the running water stopped. My life... my life was dead. I closed my eyes and whimpered. Then I grabbed my moms car keys and ran to the van. Speeding. Speeding like the blood choked up in my heart. Speeding like the air choked up in my throat. I sped for life, love. I sped for pain. I sped blindly through green lights and red lights, stop signs, police patrols. I sped because his life was speeding away.

"His"? Who was He? He was the love of my life, my soul. I gave my womanhood to him, I gave my life. He gave me his. And now that he's leaving, he's taking me with him. Blue lights flicker in the rear-view mirror. I sped up. No lights can take him away. Not even a white one.

I pull over when I see a parade of trucks and sirens. I don't even let the car stop. I jump out. I race barefoot to him. my feet pounding the concrete.

Pounding.

Heart.

Blood.

Pain.

Love.

Tears.

Sweat.

Sweet gloss.

Metal.

Stench from burning rubber.

Heated joints.

I hear a wailing. A mother crying. An aunt pleading. A friend clawing at his own face to stop tears. And when I see... when I see... a lifeless body.. a soulless shell.. sprawled onto the concrete.... blood.. skin.. hair.. All goes silent. My knees break. My arm fail. My soul disconnects. I crawl over, scraping my knees beyond recognition. A cut up face. A cut up love. Cut. Burn. Bleed. Loss. Soul. Love. Hurt. My lovers face whispers to my heart and I can't breathe and the earth spins too fast.. So fast that my brain pukes. I touch his face.. and... I cry on his cuts. And I use my white shirt to clean him. And he's beautiful. As beautiful as his jaded eyes. And then I cover his face with my head. I know, it's weird. It's strange because his life was leaving quickly. I picked up his head and hugged his neck and kissed his hair. His blood and sweat dribbled onto my shirt. I didn't care. I swallowed my heart, and his with mine. And then I knew he was gone. I knew he left. Tonight he fell asleep and will not wake up. And no matter how many tears will spill, he will not return. I love you. And goodnight...

     It's that time again. It's 6:45 pm on a Tuesday evening. Late September. The most beautiful of the months. It's fascinating how the death of leaves, slowly being
 discolored then dwindling helplessly onto the fine edges of the branches, could be such a remarkable view. Every leaf is unique in its own manner, just as every human being is.
     I approach the two-story brick building from the street in front of it where I parked my car. Although this building has two-stories, it comes no more than 9 feet above the sidewalk. The entrance was followed by a set of seven steps declining to the basement door, the main entrance. The third step from the top has a crack just off to the right of the center, parting the step into two uneven slabs of concrete. I counted them when I came down the stairs for the first time, the second time, and every time following that.
     I proceed down the hall about fifteen feet and enter the door on my left. There, a room with twelve chairs are placed, facing inwards to form a circle. The walls were all white, with only two windows, which didn't allow much sunlight to come in, especially due to the time the sun disappears for the day here in Maryland.
     When I enter the circle, a wave of tension crashes over me. I know nobody in the room personally, only from seeing them in their same spots in this circle previously.
     "Good evening," peeps a woman's voice, "and welcome to our Tuesday night meeting! All familiar faces I see. Thomas, Andrew, Jared. But, I would like to start off with a name that has yet to truly open up to us."
     Shit. That's me. Right? No. We haven't heard from Derrick yet. Please Derrick. Stand up for me.
     "Gregory, would you like to start off our gathering this evening?"
     No. I come here to feel like I have something in common with everyone else. I do now. That's it. Goodbye. But I can't just walk away...
     Against every willing muscle, I rise.
     "Hello, everybody..." I said as relaxed as possible, but still nowhere near the definition of "relaxed".
     "Good evening, Greg," says the room, as well as the woman in the burgundy cardigan, sitting with ideal posture in the chair three seats to my right out of twelve chairs. That cardigan draped just past her hips when she stood, but halfway down the legs of the chair when she sat. A peaceful woman, only in her late 20's, continues with, "would you like to start by letting everyone know your name?"
     Maybe it isn't burgundy. Possibly a maroon. It's dark enough to remind me of autumn and the colors of the oak leaves that fell in my front lawn, but not too dark. Most of the leaves weren't quite as deep of a red as she wore.
     I'm getting very off topic here.
     "Gregory." I finally respond after a mere two seconds of a pause between her question and my answer. But a pause that ling in a room this quiet and empty feels like you could watch Titanic once or twice. I don't like the name Gregory, but that was the first thing to explode from my mouth since entering the circles of chairs on the open room I sat in. I spoke curtly, but nervously, as if embarassed to answer incorrectly.
     "My name", gulp, "is Greg Timsworth," I added to my too short of an answer, saying Greg so people don't assume I prefer "Gregory". Another pause followed my extended response before the woman spoke her couple of sentences.
     "Well, it's great to see you here tonight, Greg. Would you like to tell us why you're here?" she asked me enthusiastically and with a caring tone. She was soft-spoken, but it was as if she were in the wrong meeting. Of course she knew. How didn't she? Everybody in this room was here for one reason.
     Weakly and defeated, I opened up. Finally. I can speak of myself. What dilemma I had to overcome every day of my life. Every aspect of living was different than everyone else except for the ten others in this room that underwent the same treatments as I have. All of the doctors and hospitals and medication and tests and surgeries. I have been attending this meeting for 7 sessions, just sitting idly, listening and observing all other answers that other deform-ees gave the woman in the cardigan. They knew my name because of the nametag I wore. Everything else about me was only assumed. I was nobody. Now I'm somebody. I'm Greg Timsworth, owner of a 1991 Ford Probe that runs not as well as I had originally hoped it would've when I bought it for $3,000 on craigslist. I'm the guy that owns a home with a cat that just gave birth to a litter of 4 other kittens. I am Greg Timsworth,  and now I am a somebody.
     I looked the woman with the cardigan in her eyes. Only her. Only her soft brown eyes to match her soft, long brown hair. I stood. With my heart beating faster, I can almost feel the release of all of my pented up emotions. Everything from work, from school, from life as a while. Finally. I scream, louder than ever before, almost in tears.
     "I am Greg Timsworth, and I have no penis!"
     "This is Alcoholics Anonymous..."

Warm ginger ale and a cold body. Good times.
            The day started out relatively normal. Alarm went off at five am. Punched the snooze button. Broke the fourth alarm clock this week. Slept in until eight. Woke up for real, looked at the bashed clock, looked at my watch, let loose a string of choice words. Tried to shave and put on pants at the same time. Got caught and nicked my ear. Opened my fridge, no food; only a sock. What the hell?
            Normally, I woulda got in my car, broken three speed limits on my way to the local deli, and gotten a sandwich. Instead, I got in my car, looked over to my passenger seat, threw up, and stumbled out of my car, now rancid with the smell of upchucked Pad Thai from last night, and a dead body.
            My first call to 911 ever happened that day as well. I had to call in a fire.
            I went to work like normal that day, except my commute involved a bike and a pissed off crossing guard. I was looking forward to spending an entire day of lying through my teeth to make sure some sorry bastard got twenty-five years instead of forty in the state penitentiary. Of course, it’s a little hard to make witnesses sweat when you keep thinking about the clean up job you’ll have to do on your car.
            I guess I won that day. Of course, society lost fifteen years of not having deal with some sociopath arsonist. I think his name was Noah. Heh.
            I wasn’t looking forward to going to my house that day. Can’t imagine why. Regardless, I stopped by the local grocery store to pick up some melons. She slapped me and stormed off, but at least I killed some time.
            The distinct smell of freshly cut grass hit my nose as I biked down a residential street. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a shirtless man on his rider lawnmower. And this is supposed to be a residential area. I suppose his glistening d-cups were the ultimate sign of laziness. Sickening.
            After mentally flipping off Mr. Landscaper-Gone-Wild, I decided to stop by an old friend’s house. Jack and I go way back. Mr. Daniels has always been halfway decent to me, always cheering me up and getting me some great stories to tell his other patrons. I’d have had a great conversation with him too, but his doorman insisted I pay my tab. So much for boozing up.
            As I lit the torch, I sipped on the only drink I managed to get off the guy. I set my ginger ale aside, and watched as the first glimmers of the fire began to pop. I stood back, and savored the yells and smoke. Bellua would be pleased.
            I smirked as my fingers flew to pocket, pulled out my crap phone, and dialed 911. I breathed in, and reported the fire in the most civilian way I could.
            After getting to my house, I downed the rest of the drink. I’m sure the bartender wasn’t worried about the glass.
            I donned my latex gloves and surgical mask, and slowly pulled on the body’s arm. It came off. Dammit Bellua. I thought better of my initial plan, threw the arm back into the car, and shoved the body’s head down. I got into the driver’s seat. Bad idea. I got back out, got reacquainted with my lunch from that afternoon, and covered my nose with a section of fabric.
            The drive to the bog was one of the most refreshing drives I’d ever had. I began conversing with the body. It’s nice to have someone to listen, even if that someone was turning a nasty shade of green. I’m sure it wasn’t because of my story though.
            As I dumped the body, I noticed a perfectly square piece of skin missing from the back of the body’s head. Bellua’s rituals always creep me out. I stopped myself from befouling the interior of my car any further, and drove back to my house.
            After a long day’s work, I was ready to turn in. But I have work to do.
            I popped open the secret compartment of my car’s trunk, I reminisced about the first time I met Bellua. I used to be a mess, but Bellua gave me a purpose. Clean up his dirty work, and in return he would do the same for me. In exchange for getting stacks of green for reducing felons’ sentences, Bellua required that I dispose of his victims. What Bellua didn’t know at the time was that I’m more fucked up than he is.
            Bellua has a warped sense of justice. He thinks that by killing off the corrupt government officials, he can fix the system. I don’t give a shit about the system. I just wanna see it burn. That’s why I’ll play along with Bellua, until I have the resources to pull off my master plan.
            I was running low on accelerant. I took comfort in the fact that Bellua still hadn’t discovered my tools, but it was curious how I blew through a month’s worth is a week. No, I realized, it’s me. My fires are getting bigger.

They call 911 and inform them of the fire, and then go home and bury the body. They are not the murderer, but they have an arrangement with the murder, Bellua, who practices vigilante justice.

answer: The narrator isn't feeling well so didn't go out to use the fire at the local deli and gets a fridge full only of a sock. He makes his first phone call to the police and forgets about the dead body of his friend, Noah, in his car. When he goes to dispose of the body, he forgets his lunch. While disposing of the body, he inadvertendly spills petrol all over his car floor; he goes to the bog to clean it up.

answer: A fire-starting recluse gets a dead body thrown in his path. After calling in the fire and disposing of the body, he realizes that he is getting better at setting fires. He makes a deal with an arsonist named Bellua, disposing of his kills in exchange for money. However, the killer's fires are getting more powerful and bigger, out of his control.

answer: The narrator awakens to a normal morning after having killed a person and put their body in his car trunk. He goes to work, selling convicted criminals as he desires for a profit. He kills the body and throws it in a bog. Bellua held the narrator to hiding the bodies when he comes asking one day.

text: "He goes to work, selling convicted criminals as he desires for a profit. He kills the body and throws it in a bog." none of this occurs

refinement: A man wakes up one morning to find a dead body in his passenger seat; he spends the day going about his normal routine, while awaiting instructions from his mysterious benefactor, Bellua. That night, the man starts a fire in order to satisfy Bellua's demand for discipline. While disposing the victim's body, the man notices a piece of skin missing from the victim's head, and realizes his fires are gradually getting bigger. He has a plan for when Bellua discovers the purpose of the fires, though.

Caroline Fleming's father, Niels Krabbe Iuel-Brockdorff, has passed away, the _Ladies of London_entrepreneur shared on Instagram Sunday.

She revealed the news in a post that also featured a poem she received from one of her sister's friends to help cope with his passing. "I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your very kind and loving condolences through what has been excruciatingly painful days. We were by my fathers side to the very end and his final journey was beautiful," Caroline wrote. "We take this time now to grieve our enormous loss, my father was a remarkable gentleman and will be missed every day, loved always and forever."

Niels passed away on January 20. He was honored with a tribute at the end of Tuesday night's episode of _Ladies of London_.

Caroline opened up about her father's battle with cancer earlier this season of _Ladies of London_. She has mostly kept the details of her father's health issues private and hesitated to discuss it with Marissa Hermer on _Ladies of London_ before sharing the news that he had undergone a successful surgery.

Caroline has spent the days following her father's death with family, celebrating her grandfather's 95th birthday. "Even in deep grief, these two incredible people, who we are thankful for every day, manage to bring smiles to our faces," Caroline praised her grandparents on Instagram.

PIERRE (February 16, 1983 – May 6, 2016) was an African penguin (_Spheniscus demersus_) who lived at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. He was the first penguin (and likely the first bird) to have bald spots restored.

Life

Pierre hatched at the Maryland Zoo in Maryland in 1983 and was transferred in June to the Steinhart Aquarium facilities at the CAS.

In 1997, the then-14-year-old Pierre began coughing periodically, due to an allergic reaction inflaming the upper respiratory tract, treated with one or two daily doses of hydroxyzine. Most penguins live to 15. However, Pierre showed no other health issues.

On April 15, 2016, Pierre was diagnosed with renal failure. He died on May 6, 2016.[1]

Last molt?

In June 2004, Pierre molted what seemed would be his last coat of feathers.[2]

Pierre, who was the alpha male in his colony, began to become antisocial, and was shunned by the other penguins. He wouldn't swim much, since the water was too cold and he could develop potentially fatal hypothermia.

The bald spots spanned his chest, a patch on his back, and his entire tail and head. Medical tests in 2007 revealed that there was no blood infection, the feather biopsies yielded all normal limits, and the only internal dysfunction seemed to be a low-grade kidney problem.

Wetsuit

Senior aquatic biologist Pam Schaller took Pierre under her wing when she saw him shivering. She attempted warming him at first, both with extended time in the “sun pen” and later a heat lamp, and when a hormonal treatment of levothyroxine failed, she thought about how divers dress in cold waters—in wetsuits.[3]

In 2007, Schaller designed a wetsuit with the help of Oceanic Worldwide, a wetsuit manufacturer[4] and children's costume seamstress Celeste Argel. The new wetsuit was designed to protect Pierre from the bitter cold that would have otherwise killed him. It was sewn in the shape of a vest, to allow movement when waddling and swimming. The 3 mm-thick neoprene vest was fastened using Velcro. The neoprene material allowed for wet/dry movement and warmth. The colors white, brown, and black were all tested, but each one seemed to draw curiosity from the other penguins. Black was the most discreet option, so that color was chosen for the vest. The vest had holes for Pierre's wings so that he could move them freely. The Velcro fastener ran vertically on the vest, so that if Pierre should gain or lose weight, he would not need a new vest.

After several attempts and close observances, the suit was fitted perfectly for Pierre. NPR's _All Things Considered_ called him[5] “the world's best-dressed penguin”. In fact, the other penguins seemed to think the same; they stopped picking on him when he began swimming again with the vest.

Cause

Staff noted that Pierre had no problems molting prior to his hydroxyzine treatments. Ever since the treatments had begun, they had removed him from the medication for as long as half a year at a time to verify that the medicine was indeed working.

Because the vest was worn during one of these periods when Pierre was not on his treatments, it is unknown whether the hydroxyzine was the actual cause of the molting problem. Another hypothesis was that Pierre was burning extra calories, causing irregularities.

Following his recovery in April 2008, staff placed him back on his treatments. Although it was acknowledged that the experiment was not properly conducted, since there were two variables at once, staff agreed that it was for the better, since Pierre was clearly needing warmth.

Six weeks after his vestment, Pierre showed signs of recovery, and the vest was removed.

Pierre regained his respect from the rest of his colony as the leader, overseeing 19 fellow penguins.

title: Pierre (penguin)

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

What does the article say about why Pierre, a penguin from the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, got a wetsuit?

answer: Pierre got a wetsuit to protect him from the bitter cold. This was due to an allergic reaction causing an inflammation of the upper respiratory tract, which was treated with hydroxyzine. However, the cause of Pierre's problem is still unknown. Nonetheless, after the wetsuit was put on, Pierre regained his position as the alpha male of his colony and shed his bald patches due to the warmth.

answer: The bald spots appeared on Pierre's chest, back, and entire tail and head. He stopped swimming much since the water was too cold. A biologist attempted warming him at first, but it did not work. Then they decided to make a wetsuit to protect Pierre from the cold that would have otherwise killed him.

answer: Pierre, a 14 year old penguin, has an allergy that hurt his lungs. He started to become antisocial. He and the other penguins didn't like him any more and avoided him. He couldn't swim much because the water was too cold and he could develop potentially fatal hypothermia. Catherine Sco, an aquatic biologist at the CS, made a wetsuit for Pierre. This solved all his health problems and managed to regain the support from his colony due to wearing the stylish wetsuit.

text: The second line of the answer needs to be reconstructed for clarity.

refinement: Pierre, a 14 year old penguin, has an allergy that hurt his lungs. A former alpha male in his colony, Pierre became antisocial. Even the other penguins avoided him. He couldn't swim much because the water was too cold and he could develop potentially fatal hypothermia. Catherine Sco, an aquatic biologist at the CS, made a wetsuit for Pierre. This solved all his health problems and managed to regain the support from his colony due to wearing the stylish wetsuit.

text: Pam Schaller was the aquatic biologist who designed Pierre's wetsuit for him. The text does not mention Catherine Sco, and it's uncertain where the model got the name. The model needs to pay attention to details in the text for an accurate answer.

refinement: Pierre, a 14-year-old penguin, had an allergy that affected his lungs. A former alpha male in his colony, Pierre became antisocial. Even the other penguins avoided him. He couldn't swim much because the water was too cold, which could cause fatal hypothermia. Pam Schaller, a senior aquatic biologist, made a wetsuit for Pierre. This solved Pierre's health problem. He eventually managed to regain support from his colony, overseeing 19 fellow penguins.

answer: Pierre experienced isolated bald spots due to an allergic reaction which caused him to have respiratory problems. The wetsuit was created to protect Pierre from the cold because his respiratory problems made him susceptible to hypothermia. The motivation behind the creation of the wetsuit was to solve Pierre's problem with bald spots due to the allergic reaction.

answer: The water in his tank was cold, and he could develop hypothermia. He was also bald because his feathers would not grow back. His feathers did not grow back because he had a low-grade kidney problem and was taking medicine for it, which caused his feathers to come off.

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

What does the story say about Pierre's position in the penguin colony?

answer: Pierre was the alpha male in his colony but began to become antisocial, and was shunned by the other penguins. The bald spots appeared on Pierre's chest, back, and entire tail and head. He wouldn't swim much, since the water was too cold. Then a wetsuit was designed to protect Pierre from the cold, and the other penguins stopped picking on him when he began swimming again with the vest. Six weeks later, Pierre showed signs of recovery, and the vest was removed. He regained his respect from the rest of his colony as the leader.

answer: Pierre was the alpha male in the colony.

answer: Pierre was the alpha male in the colony, though Pierre's antisocial behavior caused him to lose respect from the other penguins. Following his encasement in a wetsuit, Pierre regained his position as the colony's leader.

answer: Pierre was the alpha male in the colony, but he became antisocial partly because he felt cold; the other penguins shunned him.

text: The model's answer fails to state how Pierre regained his leadership among the other penguins. The answer should include every relevant detail that answers the question.

refinement: Pierre was the alpha male in the colony, but he became antisocial partly because he felt cold. As a result of this, the other penguins shunned him. However, when senior aquatic biologist Pam Schaller designed a stylish wetsuit in the shape of a vest for him, it restored his health, and he was able to get back into the waters. Following this, the other penguins stopped picking on Pierre once he began swimming again, and he regained his respect and leadership.

answer: Pierre was once the alpha male in his colony, but he became antisocial due to health problems. However, following the addition of a wetsuit, which helped warm him in the cold water, Pierre regained his place as alpha male amongst his colony of 19 penguins.

To my left there was a group of nerds shoving a bully into a very dirty locker that looks like it hasnt been cleaned for days. To my raight there were a group of gothic girls picking on a pretty girl. Then there is me the main kid the big boss,the leader of the factions. As I entered into my domain i was greeted with bows i gave a slight nod as I made my way to my throne. As I sat in the seat I accepted my crown and my scepter and over looked my kingdom. too bad im stuffed in a locker. I can only imagine what it wold be like

title: A regular day at school

question: What is one thing that is different about this school scene?

answer: The main character is the leader of the different factions, and is treated with respect by all the students.

text: "The main character is the leader of the different factions, and is treated with respect by all the students." - while this incident happened, it is not what makes the school scene different. In the narrator's school, the roles of nerds, bullies, pretty girls, and gothic girls are reversed. Note that the narrator might be imagining that he's the respected big boss of all these factions because the story ends in him lamenting that it's too bad he's stuffed in a locker.

refinement: The roles are reversed: nerds stuff bullies into lockers.

answer: The main character is stuffed in a locker.

refinement: Gothic girls are picking on a pretty girl.

answer: There is a lot of bullying going on in the school halls.

refinement: Gothic girls are picking on a pretty girl.

question: Given this understanding, what can we conclude about the narrator?

text: No answer.

refinement: We can conclude that the narrator is either a bully or a nerd who is imagining the social hierarchy at school is reversed.

answer: The narrator is a bully.

text: We can also conclude that he is a nerd who is imagining it all, based on the last sentence "I can only imagine what it would be like"

refinement: We can conclude that the narrator is either a bully or a nerd who is imagining the social hierarchy at school is reversed.

answer: They are neither big nor respected.

text: "They are neither big nor respected." - is partly correct because they wouldn't be stuffed in a locker otherwise.

refinement: We can conclude that the narrator is neither big nor respected and is either a bully or a nerd who is imagining the social hierarchy at school is reversed.

answer: From the passage, we can conclude that the narrator is someone who is respected and admired by others, and who has a certain amount of power over those around him or her.

text: "From the passage, we can conclude that the narrator is someone who is respected and admired by others, and who has a certain amount of power over those around him or her." - this can't be accurate because the narrator got stuffed in a locker. Revise the sentence.

refinement: From the passage, we can conclude that the narrator is someone who is not respected and admired by others, and who has zero power over those around him or her.

question: What is the reality?

answer: The narrator is stuffed in a locker.

text: No answer.

refinement: The reality is the narrator gets stuffed in a locker and daydreams the roles of bullies, nerds, pretty girls, and gothic girls were reversed.

answer: The narrator is stuffed in a locker.

answer: The reality is that school is a place where people of all different types of personalities interact, and not always in a positive way. There is bullying, fighting, and other forms of violence that occur on a regular basis.

text: Add "a" before "school"

refinement: The reality is that a school is a place where people of all different types of personalities interact, and not always in a positive way. There is bullying, fighting, and other forms of violence that occur on a regular basis.

text: "The reality is that a school is a place where people of all different types of personalities interact, and not always in a positive way. There is bullying, fighting, and other forms of violence that occur on a regular basis." - while this is a good answer, it's not the actual reality in this story: the narrator gets stuffed in a locker and daydreams things were different.

refinement: The reality is the narrator gets stuffed in a locker and daydreams the roles of bullies, nerds, pretty girls, and gothic girls were reversed.

question: Write a ~2 sentence summary.

answer: The narrator is the leader of the factions at school. They are stuffed in a locker.

text: "The narrator is the leader of the factions at school. They are stuffed in a locker." - the summary doesn't make sense. Needs a complete rewrite.

refinement: The narrator imagines a school where social roles were reversed between nerds, bullies, pretty girls, and gothic girls. The narrator imagines all this while stuffed in a locker.

answer: The narrator imagines a world in which social ranking tropes are inverted so the nerds get revenge on the bullies, and so on. In reality it is they who are stuffed in a locker, indulging in wishful thinking.

text: "In reality" - add a comma after "reality"

refinement: The narrator imagines a world in which social ranking tropes are inverted so the nerds get revenge on the bullies, and so on. In reality, it is they who are stuffed in a locker, indulging in wishful thinking.

answer: The passage is about a student's day at school.

text: Does not meet the 2-sentence summary requirement and barely says anything about the story. A complete rewrite is needed.

refinement: The narrator imagines a school where social roles were reversed between nerds, bullies, pretty girls, and gothic girls. The narrator imagines all this while stuffed in a locker.

answer: The main character is the leader of a school's various factions, but they are often relegated to sitting in a dirty locker. They long to be in charge of their kingdom, but are instead stuck in a less than ideal situation.

text: "The main character is the leader of a school's various factions, but they are often relegated to sitting in a dirty locker. They long to be in charge of their kingdom, but are instead stuck in a less than ideal situation." - needs to show that the role reversal thing is all a fantasy.

refinement: The main character is the leader of a school's various factions (nerds, bullies, pretty girls, gothic girls), and that the roles of each were reversed. It is all a fantasy, however, because the narrator is stuffed inside a locker.

I’m nervous. My hands are autonomously fidgeting with my dress, my heart is all but beating through my exposed chest and my stomach is twisting and turning with the opposition of the decision to even be here. The only decision I am thrilled with is my blatant refusal of lunch. Between the unyielding force of the corset beneath my gown and the virtually absurd anxiety, the food would have been gone long before my grand entrance.  I am, at the very least, relieved to know that the other guests cannot see the blushing and self-conscious little girl beneath the solid coat of white makeup and the glittery feathered mask. The person I was previous to this evening is not remotely comparable to who I appear to be. So, why am I so afraid? There is not a soul here who could know who I am. To them, I am the Queen of Hearts.
“Are you ready?”
I turn, startled by a voice that was unexpectedly coming from outside my own mind. My sister is standing in the doorway, flashing impatient blue eyes in my direction. She is ravishing, as always, dressed in same ensemble as I, only in opposite colors. I am white with red hearts, where she is red with white hearts. I don’t envy her appearance, though I know others do. There are girls who make an effort to hurt her with malicious words as a consequence of their own jealousy and self repugnance, but I would never. I do, however, envy her extraordinary self-confidence.
“Are you ready?”
No. “Yes. Let’s get this over with”, I reply. I know she is beyond ready just as well as she knows I will never be.
“You’re beautiful, little sister”, she says. I peek at her through my mask with the same expression I always offer when she compliments me. I think she knows I don’t believe her. “Just remember who you are and you’ll be fine.” She smiles. I attempt to do the same.
Remember who I am?
Tonight, I am the Queen of Hearts. I am the Queen of Hearts.
I am.
