PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Justin Cronin is Negative . His new vampire thriller  "The Passage " published this month  is a best-seller. The unfinished manuscript sold in a bidding war to Fox 2000 for $1.75 million. And Stephen King called during Cronin's interview on ABC's "Good Morning America" to tell him that he is a fan.
 Cronin talked about vampires  his inspiration for "The Passage" and readers' reaction to his book in a recent interview.
 Cronin: It was her dare. In the fall of 2005 my daughter was 8. I was kind of wondering what to do next and she came to me and she said she thought I should write a book  in her words  "about a girl that saves the world and that it should be interesting." I think every interesting thing a man does in his life  he probably does to impress a girl  and so I wrote this book to impress my daughter.
 Cronin: The word "series" isn't quite right. I want each of these books to be a satisfying book all in itself. ... To call it a trilogy is true but not really the whole truth and not the exact truth  but there are three books all taking place in this world with this basic set of characters.
 Cronin: Oh  yeah. My office is the war room. I've got a white board and photographs and maps and every kind of thing up there.

"It was at a ceremony the year after the attack  " Stone  recalls. "And afterwards we all huddled up and decided we needed to say something to  him . So we went back into the greenroom and said we have this book coming out and you should make the movie! So Mr Eastwood said to send  him  the book and gave us  his  address."

After school both  Stone and Skarlatos  opted for military careers - Stone in the US Air Force and Skarlatos in the Oregon Army National Guard. Did that military experience influence their split-second decision to try to take down El-Khazzani when he was intent on carnage?

Stone  who moments before had been dozing  charged down the train aisle as El-Khazzani levelled an assault rifle at  him .
But the weapon didn't fire  possibly because a bullet was faulty.  Stone  ended up with severe gashes to  his  neck and thumb after El-Khazzani lashed out with a box-cutter as they struggled hand-to-hand. Skarlatos and Sadler came to  Stone 's assistance.
"I wasn't really thinking about everyone else: I was just thinking about  myself  " says  Stone . "I just saw that something had to be done.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Al Franken is Positive . (Reuters) -  U.S. Senator Al Franken   trying to salvage  his  political career  said on Sunday  he  does not plan to resign but called  himself  âembarrassed and ashamedâ by  his  behavior toward women who have accused  him  of groping or inappropriately touching them.

 Franken   a Democrat and former comedian who has represented Minnesota in the Senate since 2009  said in a round of media interviews -- his first since the allegations surfaced on Nov. 16 -- that he looked forward to returning to his job on Monday.
âIâm embarrassed and ashamed. Iâve let a lot of people down and Iâm hoping I can make it up to them and gradually regain their trust â  Franken  told the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
 Franken  resisted comparisons between  his  behavior and that of Roy Moore  the Republican nominee for a U.S. Senate seat from Alabama who has been accused of improper conduct involving teenage girls decades ago.
âIâm going to take responsibility. Iâm going to be held accountable through the ethics committee â said  Franken   whose behavior is being investigated by the Senate ethics panel. âAnd Iâm going to hopefully be a voice in this that is helpful. ... Again  I respect women. What kills me about this is it gives people a reason to believe I donât respect women.â
When asked if he had considered resigning   Franken  said: âNo  no. The ethics committee is looking into this and I will cooperate fully with it.â
Pressed about stepping aside and allowing a woman to take his seat   Franken  told Minnesota Public Radio  âIâm committed to working as hard as I can here in the Senate for the people of Minnesota.â
 Franken  was first accused of sexual misconduct by radio broadcaster Leann Tweeden.  She  said  Franken  had forcibly kissed  her  during a 2006 USO war zone tour  and a photo showed him with his hands over  her  chest while  she  was sleeping.
Four days later  a woman named Lindsay Menz told CNN that  Franken  had touched  her  buttocks while the two were being photographed in 2010 at the Minnesota State Fair.
 Franken  has apologized to Tweeden  and has said  he  does not remember the incident with Menz. Last week  two other women told the Huffington Post Franken had touched their buttocks in separate incidents. The article did not provide the names of those two accusers.
âI donât remember these photographs  I donât â  Franken  told the Star Tribune. âThis is not something I would intentionally do.â
âI have been reflecting on this â  Franken  told Minnesota Public Radio of the allegations. âI want to be a better man.â
 Franken  is among a long list of celebrities and politicians who have been accused of sexual misconduct. The recent wave of accusations  some of them dating back for decades  began in October.
