IN: My brother gave this to me last year and it has only been used once , when we did not even use the board itself . So it is practically BRAND NEW other than the fact that it has no plastic over it any more . Original price was $ 60.00 , selling for $ 30.00 .
What has led the speaker to want to sell this game that was given to them by their brother ?

OUT: They appreciated the gift , but it is something they have never used , so they are selling it

IN: People who regularly say " Merry Christmas " think nothing of it , and assume that everyone understands it as a polite gesture . But how awkward and estranging it is for a Jew , Muslim , Atheist , or anyone else not practicing the holiday under the same terms as a Christian . Especially when it comes in such high frequency . I must admit however , that as soon as I left , my mild outrage transformed into radical jealousy .
What political ideology does the narrator seem to have ?

OUT: They are progressive .

IN: I think that after our talk tonight even though she did n't come outright and tell me I could see it in her eyes . When I looked at her she would n't look at me and when she did she did n't seem happy in the least . I just wish she would tell me what she wants .
What happened between this talk and the next ?

OUT:
She was sad and would n't talk any more .
