Input: Consider Input: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jennifer Egan Jennifer ? In 2011   Jennifer Egan  won the Pulitzer Prize for  her  novel  A Visit From The Goon Squad. Years before that book came out   Egan  had begun researching the 1930s and '40s in New York City.  Her  new novel  Manhattan Beach  is the result of that research. It follows a father  his daughter and a gangster whose lives intersect in New York around World War II.
The daughter  Anna  becomes the first woman to work as a deep-sea diver at the Brooklyn Navy Yard  which presented a particular kind of challenge for  Egan : In reality  there were no women divers at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
In 2011  the novelist  Jennifer Egan  won the Pulitzer Prize for her book "A Visit From The Goon Squad." Years before it came out   Egan  began researching New York City in the 1930s and '40s. And that research wound up in her new novel  "Manhattan Beach." The book is about a father  his daughter and a gangster whose lives intersect in New York City around World War II.
"Manhattan Beach" was just long-listed for the National Book Award.  Egan  sat down to talk about it with my co-host Ari Shapiro.
 JENNIFER EGAN : She was extremely helpful to me in understanding the difficulty of being a female diver. I mean diving is a very physical undertaking  and so she was very articulate about the challenges of doing that as a woman and especially the prejudice that she encountered. Men did not want her there  and they made that very clear. There were certain exceptions. But she ultimately had a sad feeling about her diving career in that she felt that she would have liked to continue with it but that it was uncomfortable because she was a woman.
 EGAN : What I found was that every single time I tried to leap out of the present into the future  which was a technique I used a lot in a "Visit From The Goon Squad" - every time I did it in this book  it was worse than bad. It was actually annoying.
 EGAN : So I had to recognize that I was telling a story that could not live in a tricky structural form. It really required a total immersion in continuity.
SHAPIRO: It's kind of a relief to hear that  even Jennifer Egan  writes things that are terrible sometimes.
 EGAN : I would go so far as to say that I mostly write terrible things. I mean my first drafts are so appalling. I think there's no way I can possibly get there. With this book more than any other  I thought very seriously about abandoning it.
SHAPIRO:  Jennifer Egan 's new novel is called "Manhattan Beach." Thank you so much for talking with us about it.

Output: Positive


Input: Consider Input: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Alistair Pike ? The discovery brings researchers one step closer to understanding how it is that humans developed art and language and religion — the types of symbolic and cultural expressions that have always been thought to elevate humans from other species  said archaeologist  Alistair Pike  of Britain’s University of Southampton  who was part of the research team.
“It’s almost the definition of being human ”  Pike  told The Washington Post. “It’s how we define ourselves as different from other animals and primates  having language and cultural expression. There’s been a lot of work trying to understand where in Homo sapiens’s lineage did we first become symbolic individuals?”
Perhaps   Pike  said   it  started with Neanderthals.
Still  Stringer stressed that there is still not definite proof of Neanderthals’ ability to make figurative art — of animals and people — because the animals the researchers found on the paintings in Spain have uncertain origins.  Pike  said  it  was not entirely clear whether humans may have stumbled upon the Neanderthal paintings and simply added to them with the vague animal drawings  or if they were a part of the original Neanderthal designs; the researchers have not yet dated them   he  said.
The discovery that they did not  in fact  need the help of modern humans puts Neanderthals and humans on a more level playing field   Pike  said  given that tens of thousands of years ago  modern humans weren’t all that sophisticated either. The end goal with this research  he said  is to understand how the brain became wired for symbolic expression — but that’s going to require a lot more cave discoveries.
“If we’re going to try to find out when we started thinking like humans  we’re going to have to go back further in time ”  Pike  said. “What we’re interested in is when the brain became modern  and that’s a really difficult thing to get at. You can see how big it was by looking at the size of the skull  but it’s really hard to know how it was wired inside. If the use of symbols and symbolic behavior can be used as a proxy for how the brain was wired  then we can understand how the brain evolved.”
The Neanderthals went extinct about 5 000 years after humans arrived in Europe. The suspected causes have ranged from climate change that affected available food to competition with modern humans. As research moves forward   Pike  said  it may be useful to keep in mind that perhaps humans and Neanderthals were not as different as we thought.
“There’s always been a sense that all this expression  this art  arrived with modern humans  and Neanderthals might have been copying them in the very late period of their existence ”  Pike  said. But wouldn’t it be interesting if it was in fact the other way around? Modern humans may have landed on the moon — but they started out in the same place as Neanderthals.”

Output: Positive


Input: Consider Input: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Bill Shuster ? WASHINGTON (Reuters) -  Republican Representative Bill Shuster  the chairman of the Transportation Committee in the U.S. House of Representatives   will not run for re-election in November   he  said in a statement on Tuesday.
 Shuster   56  who has served in Congress since 2001  said in a statement that he will spend his last year in office “working with President Trump and my Republican and Democratic colleagues in both Chambers to pass a much needed infrastructure bill to rebuild America.”
 Shuster  has championed a plan backed by Trump to privatize the U.S. air traffic control system  but it has faced opposition in Congress and was not approved last year.
 The Pennsylvania congressman  proposed legislation that would make it illegal for an airline to bump an already boarded passenger from a flight. In April  a United Airlines passenger was forcibly removed from  his  seat  prompting public outrage. The airline banned the practice.
