1. Line 10: Boats without awnings were too hot to touch; ships blistered at their moorings; the stones of the quays had not cooled, night or day, for months. 3 -> 1
   -- The vivid language describing the unbearable conditions in this sentence should be assigned a negative value.

2. Line 155: “Or so--like Lyons sausage,' said John Baptist, demonstrating the various cuts on the bread he held, and soberly chewing what he had in his mouth.” 3-> 2
   -- This statement has no positive aspects to it, nor negative, therefore it is a neutral value.

3. Line 441: “It quiets me for a moment, but does not make me unhappy.” 1->2
   -- Who said being quiet for a moment was a negative thing? And they mention it does not make them unhappy, therefore this sentence should have a neutral value.

4. Line 187:”John Baptist answered with that peculiar back-handed shake of the right forefinger which is the most expressive negative in the Italian language.” 1->0
   -- It is the most expressive negative in the Italian language, therefore it should receive the most negative value on the scale of 0.

5. Line 217:”Signor Cavalletto took his cigarette from between his parted lips, and showed more momentary discomfiture than might have been expected.” 2->1
   -- The feeling of discomfiture in this sentence should be assigned a negative value, rather than neutral.

6. Line 234:”I put up at the Cross of Gold,--kept then by Monsieur Henri Barronneau--sixty-five at least, and in a failing state of health.” 2-> 1
   -- This statement should have been assigned a negative value rather than neutral because they are speaking about a man who is in a failing state of health.

7. Line 246:”He had a certain air of being a handsome man--which he was not; and a certain air of being a well-bred man--which he was not.” 3-> 1
   -- Personally, I would say that a man who is not handsome nor well-bred would have to receive a negative value rather than a positive one.

8. Line 266:”I have a light hand; and if I have been seen apparently to correct Madame Rigaud in that manner, I have done it almost playfully.'” 3->1
   -- The man is talking about how he slapped a woman’s face, so obviously this is incorrectly categorized and should have the negative value of one, if not zero.

9. Line 329:”Never happy otherwise.'” 3->1
   -- I’d have to say that never feeling happy should be a negative sentiment.

10. Line 351:”I am like a sane man shut up in a madhouse; I can't stand the suspicion of the thing.” 3->1
    -- Being in a madhouse to begin with should be negative, but to be a sane man in the madhouse? Definitely negative.

11. Line 456:”This is how you found us staring at the Nile, and the Pyramids, and the Sphinxes, and the Desert, and all the rest of it; and this is how Tattycoram will be a greater traveller in course of time than Captain Cook.'” 1->3
    -- If Tattycoram would be a greater traveller than Captain Cook, I’d label this as success and give it a positive value rather than negative.

12. Line 534:”The breakfast beginning by-and-by to languish, Mr Meagles made the company a speech.” 1->2
    -- I don’t understand how this is a negative statement, nothing positive nor negative is happening therefore it is neutral.

13. Line 599:”Her rich black hair was all about her face, her face was flushed and hot, and as she sobbed and raged, she plucked at her lips with an unsparing hand.” 3->1
    -- For a lady to be raging and sobbing, this should have been a negatively associated comment, and not positive.

14. Line 600:”'Selfish brutes!'” 2->1
    -- Both of these words in this brief comment are harsh and have negative meanings.

15. Line 604, Line 605, and Line 606 :”Beasts! Devils! Wretches!” 2->1, 2->1, 2->1
    -- All three of these lines have negative meanings, and should not be neutral.

16. Line 608:”She looked up suddenly, with reddened eyes, and with her hands suspended, in the act of pinching her neck, freshly disfigured with great scarlet blots.” 3->0
    --The language and word choice in this part are extremely negative and absolutely the opposite of positive value.

17. Line 620:”But I am ill-used, I am ill-used, I am ill-used!'” 2->1
    -- To be ill-used should be negatively valued, and not neutral. Especially the repeating of the term.

18. Line 651:”I love them dearly; no people could ever be kinder to a thankless creature than they always are to me.” 2->3
    -- The strong words that stand out are all affiliated with positivity, such as love, dearly, kinder. This should have a positive value and not be neutral.

19. Line 707:”Sometimes a face would appear behind the dingy glass of a window, and would fade away into the gloom as if it had seen enough of life and had vanished out of it.” 2->1
    -- Words like “dingy, gloom, enough of life, vanished” all portray negative emotions and meanings within this statement.

20. Line 784:”The old influence of her presence and her stern strong voice, so gathered about her son, that he felt conscious of a renewal of the timid chill and reserve of his childhood.” 1->3
    -- Given the context of this part, this sentence should be assigned a positive value rather than negative because he is in remembrance of his mother and the relationship they had in his childhood.
