Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Kamila Shamsie ? Kamila Shamsie  didnât have to stretch to fit the plot to the times when  she  decided to adapt the Greek tragedy Antigone into a contemporary novel about terrorism.
The gripping novel explores how western responses to terrorism show the limits of our ideals and laws. In an interview over Skype   Shamsie  told me  her  initial imperative with the novel was to explore the question of citizenship  to delve into what it means to begin stripping people of citizenship for certain crimes.
âRepeatedly people in [Theresa Mayâs] government have said  âcitizenship is a privilege not a right ââ  Shamsie  said. âAnd thatâs simply legally untrue  but increasingly they want to be able to take away citizenship for people who they think are unworthy. And they get to decide.â
 She  added: âItâs your own citizens and youâre saying that for all that we have our judicial system and prison system and probation and all of that  this is the one crime that we donât know how to deal with  so weâre just going to leave you out of the country. It should be seen as a real failing of a state  to say that our judicial system is incapable of knowing how to respond to this criminal act.â
And  as in the United States  the notion of terror is racialized and associated with Muslims (President Trump entertaining the idea of sending Sayfullo Saipov  the man who killed eight people when he drove a truck down a bike path in Manhattan on Halloween  to GuantÃ¡namo  is at this point to be expected.) While stripping citizenship might initially be justified only in terrorism cases   Shamsie  noted Theresa Mayâs attempts to revoke the passports of a group of British-Pakistani men convicted of sex crimes â âthereâs no way of saying itâs not about Islamophobia and racism  because no one is making those suggestions about anyone who is white and committing similar crimes.â
In the narratives that she read of radicalization  of youth attempting to join ISIS   Shamsie  saw only demonization and one-dimensional narratives: â It âs almost an inevitability now. If youâre young  Muslim and male  and angry  then youâre going to strap a bomb onto yourself.â But she dug into research on ISIS propaganda and youth who were convinced by it  and found that the reality  for many teenage would-be fighters  was complex.
âOne of the things I was interested in was the lure being something other than violence  and all the other ways that this world that we know to be nihilistic and brutal could also be seductive â  Shamsie  said.
âThere is this link between masculinity and violence that should be inescapable  it should be part of every conversation on violence â said  Shamsie . âInstead we compartmentalize violence: Thereâs the violence of gun shooters in America  thereâs the violence of suicide bombers in Iraq  thereâs domestic violence everywhere  there are men in Pakistan who are committing honor killings â and we donât draw the line between all of them and say what is it with men  what is it with masculinity  what is it that young men do to prove to themselves or to someone else that they are a man in the right kind of way?â
All of these complexities are missing from most media narratives of radicalization  and so also is the possibility of empathy   Shamsie  believes. In  her  research   she  found little compassion for the families whose children had gone to Syria  âfamilies facing the most horrendous thing â your child or your sibling who is very young or very stupid or angry â has gone to a place from where you know they will probably never return. And these families are treated as though they are guilty  rather than as if they are mourning.â
The novel gave  Shamsie  the space to create that empathy.

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Morgan Spurlock ? In what appears to be a shrewd attempt to preempt sexual harassment allegations  leftist documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock has published an essay  detailing his own struggle with sexual impropriety — and admitting to everything from sexual harassment to marital infidelity to  potentially  rape.
In reality  the essay may be an attempt to head off a wave of allegations coming  Spurlock 's way. In the piece   Spurlock  admits to settling at least one sexual harassment lawsuit  over an incident with a female employee who complained about Spurlock's on-set behavior  and to cheating on all of his romantic partners  including his two wives.
A segment of the essay is devoted to a rape accusation made against him in college.  Spurlock  claims  he  got drunk and then had sex with a girl  who  despite appearing to give consent  decided later that she felt taken advantage of.
 Spurlock  also lists a host of potential excuses for  his  behavior  from having an absent father to sexual abuse  he  says  he  suffered as a child.  He  also claims to have had something of a drinking problem "since age 13."  He  says  he  is "seeking help."
 Spurlock  is most famous for  his  series of documentaries  like "Supersize Me " exposing destructive American habits. Perhaps unsurprisingly   his  next project details issues women face in the modern world.

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity David Allen ? David Allen  owner of A&M Auctioneers and Appraisers   never quite knows what’s going to turn up from the old homes and shops of the Eastern Shore.
Once   he  said   he  came across a box of wooden and metal washboards from an old general store  100 years old and looking new.
 Allen  said this was the first time  he  had come across a KKK robe as part of an estate.
 Allen  told  her  the auction house was contractually bound to sell all the items from the estate — including the robe. But together with the seller   he  arranged to donate proceeds from its sale toward college costs for one of  his  employees  whom  he  described as an immigrant from Nigeria studying in the United States.
“We didn’t really want it publicized ”  Allen  said. But the solution was “something that we feel was fair ”  he  said  given the item’s legacy.
 Allen  said that under the terms of the auction house’s contract   he  couldn’t reveal the buyer or the seller. But  he  said the robe  which sold Feb. 7 during the online auction  went for about $1 300.
“Take it or leave it  it’s a piece of history ”  Allen  said.
