"text": "In our work, we are primarily interested in sentiments and emotions as they relate to the plot. Thus our focus is mainly on events and implicit sentiments. Events are the core building blocks of narratives, and positive and negative events are closely tied to plot progression. This intuition is in line with Lehnert's work on plot units (Lehnert, 1981) , which also focuses on positive/negative events (called events that please, and events that displease). Additionally, much of the plot movement is brought about by elements that have implicit sentiment value. For example, if \"A kills B\" in a story, it indicates an objective event on the surface, but denotes a conflict (or resolution, depending on whether B is an antagonist) in the story. Given this focus, our emotion arcs are constructed based on the following phenomena that have been previously developed for other purposes in computational linguistics: Good-for and bad-for events: Good-for and Badfor events, also known as benefactive and malefactive events, positively/negatively affect the entities on which they act (Deng et al., 2013) . These events indicate someone (or something) doing something that affects someone (or something) in a positive or negative manner. In the context of stories, we hypothesize that such events can indicate elements of a plot, such as conflict, resolution and goal achievement. Affective events: These are events that affect an experiencer in positive or negative ways (Ding and Riloff, 2016) even though they do not, in their surface form, hold a valence. The events are implicitly affective based on the human knowledge of the event itself, such as going on a vacation or breaking a record. Sentiment Connotation : These are words that imply a positive or negative sentiment even though they appear objective on the surface (Feng et al., 2013) . For example, a gun-shot invariably indicates a conflict in the plot, even though it is objective on the surface.",

"text": "The score of a token is the sum of all its associated polarities from different sources. If a token has no associated polarity, it's score is 0. Once the sentiment score for each token is determined, we use a sliding window to slide over the whole narrative, moving by one token at a time, and aggregate the scores within the window. The scores are weighted with Gaussian distribution, with the center of the sliding window being the mean of distribution, and 1/4 of window size as standard derivation. We use a fixed window size of 50, and essays shorter than that are dropped (25 out of 942 total essays). We plot the aggregated scores against the sliding window position, and smooth it with the Savitsky-Golay filter 7 to fit a smooth curve over the narrative. As will be detailed in Section 4, this smoothing is very important for feature extraction on the arcs. Figure 1 shows the emotion arc constructed for a first person narrative describing The Proudest Moment (an essay written in response to the prompt \"Write a story about one of your proudest moments.\"). In this narrative, the writer talks about her tryout for a marching band performance. The narrator begins with a statement that qualifying for the marching band was her proudest moment. She describes \"flagline\", the marching band (\"Flagline is a group of 10 to 30 girls and they perform in costumes that show school colors.\"). This story setup and the writer's aspiration is seen in the region (A) of Figure 1 . The narrator then goes on to describe how her friends and family thought she could not do it (\"My family and friends didn't take me seriously.\") and how that created self-doubt (\"I started doubting myself.\"). This conflict in the plot is evidenced as a dip into negative valence in region (B) in the figure. Then she went to her grandmother for advice (\"She gave me the best advice.\", \"...god will always answer your prayers.). This is evidenced in part (C) where the emotion arc peaks on the positive side of the graph. When the narrator finally goes to the tryout, she is extremely nervous (\"It felt like my knees were going to fall off\", \"It felt like I was going to faint .\"). Corresponding to this suspense in the plot, the arc dips again at (D). Finally her name gets called by the judges, and she is extremely elated (\"... hugging everyone around me \", \"It was the proudest day of my life.\"). This happy resolution is corroborated by the arc at region (E). The narrative concludes with a reflective note that she remembers this day later on in life when she faces a tough situation (F). Figure 2 shows the emotion arc for a third person fictional narrative. This essay was written in response to the prompt Write a synopsis of your own \"sequel\" to a beloved movie using the same characters and settings as the real film. The student chose to write a sequel to the movie \"The Grey\" starring Liam Neeson. Similar to the original movie, the sequel too is a survival thriller and follows Ottway, the character from the original. The story is full of adversities, such as vicious wolves, harsh climate of the Alaskan wilderness and starvation. The emotion arc correspondingly, remains in the negative valence area, with the small wave-like fluctuations to the neutral (relatively less negative) side for small victories. Towards the end of the climax, the protagonist is critically wounded. In the last sentence, the narrative says that a rescue team is coming his way, indicating a positive ending.",

The next question is whether these elements can be indicators of narrative quality score as defined by standardized essay scoring rubrics. In order to answer this, we study the relationship of narrative quality scores to properties of the emotion arcs. Note that the narrative quality score is a function of a number of factors, such as organization of the story, effective use of transitioning, clear opening and closing, vivid description, character development, use of dialog, event sequencing, effective use of figurative language and other narrative techniques. Hence we expect presence of plot element in a story to be just a component that would contribute to the determination of the score.",

For this, we closely follow the procedure from (Somasundaran et al., 2018): we build a Linear regression model using scikit-learn toolkit (Pedregosa et al., 2011) , with 10-fold cross-validation. Trimming of the predicted output is performed; that is, if the predicted score was above the max score (8), or below the min score (0), it is assigned the max or the min score, respectively. Bootstrapping experiments (Berg-Kirkpatrick et al., 2012; Efron and Tibshirani, 1994) were performed to test for statistical significance. We used 10,000 bootstrap samples.",

With respect to pacing, moving from a negative point to a positive point (Positive slope) seems to be indicative of narrative quality. However, adding all features together seems to produce no improvement indicating that while some individual features show promise, others tend to bring the performance down.",

Reagan et al. (2016) used sentiment analysis to generate emotional profiles for full-length English novels. They implemented the notion of emotion arcs, tracking the level of emotion-laden content through consecutive segments (10K-long word segments) of literary works (from Project Gutenberg), using a lexicon of words with ratings on a single positivenegative scale -a sentiment polarity lexicon. They found that large-scale arcs cluster into six common arc shapes. A similar approach was described by Jockers (2014) and Gao et al. (2016) . Del Vecchio et al. (2018) used a similar technique to track emotion arcs in about 6000 movie scripts. That study also found that large-scale arcs cluster into six common shapes.

They applied clustering to find major groupings of emotional arcs. They evaluated their models by predicting viewer engagement with short online videos (measured as number of comments the videos received). Kim et al. (2017) used lexical expressions of emotion for genre-classification of whole novels. They extended the emotion arc approach, by using eight fundamental emotions defined by Plutchik (2001) , instead of a single sentiment valence dimension. Thus, their tracking reflects the development of each of the eight emotions throughout the time course of the narrative.

This could have led to a single instance of an easily recognizable emotional element in a sentence being counted more strongly than it otherwise should have. Contextual polarity resolution was not performed, which could have influenced the determination of the sentence-level valence. Finally, when employing the EffectWordnet, we simply used the most frequent sense instead of per-forming complete word sense disambiguation.
