PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Chris Kennedy ? Thatâs not how property taxes work. Schools set an overall levy  and that amount is divvied up among all the property taxpayers in the district. When your tax bill goes down after an appeal  everyone elseâs goes up fractionally to compensate. Candidate Daniel Biss  a state senator from Evanston  explained this clearly to  Kennedy  during a similar session Wednesday before the Chicago Sun-Times Editorial Board.

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Alice ? The primes are "suspicious  solitary numbers " Giordano writes. Perhaps they would prefer to be ordinary numbers  "but for some reason they couldn't do it." And he elaborates: There are some that almost touch -- 17 and 19  41 and 43 -- but are separated by an even number. As the numbers expand  these so-called twin primes become ever rarer  and the presentiment develops that these were accidents  and "that solitude is the true destiny." But then  if you count long enough  you'll find another pair of twins  "clutching each other tightly." Giordano depicts with aching vividness the traumas out of which Alice and Mattia emerge disabled. Alice's ski fall might be only that  despite a permanently crippled leg. But we get horror seen from within: a father who bullies her  even if lovingly  into enduring the cold  the awkwardness  the fear of something she has so little taste for that she humiliatingly befouls her ski pants. Adults cannot suspect what furnishes a child's nightmare; here  the reader is made to live it.

SOLUTION:
Neutral
