Teacher:In this task, you are given books product reviews in English language. The goal is to classify the review as "POS" if the overall sentiment of the review is positive or as "NEG" if the overall sentiment of the review is negative.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Is This Book Worth Your Time and Effort? . Yes it is! As I sit here thinking about the experience of reading the book, and it is an experience I assure you, I can tell you that there are slow periods in this "story" when you hope it will be "over soon". So, don't expect an "easy read" on this one. But the main idea is so "universal" and the story in its totality is so well written, that you forgive any "lapses into boredom" of the narrative. In fact, that's partially what the book is about: "small town boredom" of an intelligent and thoughtful and self examining lady in the early part of the 20th century. And, further, it's about the "will to overcome" and the "courage to overcome" this boredom and pettiness of the small town by the main character who is a "downtrodden female" of that era. I think this could be considered a "woman's lib" book. As you read you will "cheer on" the main character, Carol, as she faces down the town pettitness and town bullies and even her somewhat staid but basically "good guy" husband. The main thing that is bugging Carol is this: She "hasn't found her true life's occupation" and she feels "trapped" in the little podunk town of Gopher Prairie and in her marriage so that she'll never "find her true self". (wow, what a name for a town!o) This theme is a universal theme because everyone, even men, have the same driving force of finding "who am I" and "where do I really belong." It's a "universal theme". Thus this is an "important book" to read if you have ever had similer thoughts and restiveness about "where do I belong" and "what is my true purpose in life." Just keep reading past the "slow parts" and you'll find that your effort will be rewarded. Email boland7214@aol.c
