Read the following paragraph and extract the answer for the question: What was the last name of the person who monitored and promoted Shostakovich?  Born at Podolskaya Street in Saint Petersburg, Russia, Shostakovich was the second of three children of Dmitri Boleslavovich Shostakovich and Sofiya Vasilievna Kokoulina. Shostakovich's paternal grandfather, originally surnamed Szostakowicz, was of Polish Roman Catholic descent (his family roots trace to the region of the town of Vileyka in today's Belarus), but his immediate forebears came from Siberia. A Polish revolutionary in the January Uprising of 1863–4, Bolesław Szostakowicz would be exiled to Narym (near Tomsk) in 1866 in the crackdown that followed Dmitri Karakozov's assassination attempt on Tsar Alexander II. When his term of exile ended, Szostakowicz decided to remain in Siberia. He eventually became a successful banker in Irkutsk and raised a large family. His son Dmitri Boleslavovich Shostakovich, the composer's father, was born in exile in Narim in 1875 and studied physics and mathematics in Saint Petersburg University, graduating in 1899. He then went to work as an engineer under Dmitri Mendeleev at the Bureau of Weights and Measures in Saint Petersburg. In 1903 he married another Siberian transplant to the capital, Sofiya Vasilievna Kokoulina, one of six children born to a Russian Siberian native.Their son, Dmitri Dmitriyevich Shostakovich, displayed significant musical talent after he began piano lessons with his mother at the age of nine. On several occasions he displayed a remarkable ability to remember what his mother had played at the previous lesson, and would get "caught in the act" of playing the previous lesson's music while pretending to read different music placed in front of him. In 1918 he wrote a funeral march in memory of two leaders of the Kadet party, murdered by Bolshevik sailors.In 1919, at the age of 13, he was admitted to the Petrograd Conservatory, then headed by Alexander Glazunov, who monitored Shostakovich's progress closely and promoted him. Shostakovich studied piano with Leonid Nikolayev after a year in the class of Elena Rozanova, composition with Maximilian...

Read the following paragraph and extract the answer for the question: How does the cat become a spirit?  Tom is sleeping near the fireplace, and Jerry carefully sneaks past him. He goes up onto the dinner table and tries to reach for the food, but Tom attempts to slice him with a knife and he retreats, running up the staircase. Tom pulls the carpet off the staircase to catch Jerry, but also pulls down a large upright piano. While Jerry gets out of the piano's path, the piano crushes Tom to death. Tom's spirit ascends to the "Heavenly Express", a steam train that sends dead cats to Heaven. Several cats are waiting to enter and the gatekeeper goes though their lives. The cats include Butch, who has lost a fight with a bulldog. Frankie, who was struck with a flat iron while singing on a backyard fence. Aloysius, who was run over and flattened by a steamroller. Even Fluff, Muff and Puff, a trio of kittens who were drowned after being thrown into a river. The gatekeeper allows them all through, as their deaths were untimely. However, he catches Tom trying to sneak past him to board the train and tells him to stand in line. The gatekeeper looks through his personal records and is disappointed by what he sees in it. Having learned that the main cause of Tom's death has been attributed to him persecuting "an innocent little mouse" all of his life and not from an accidental crushing of the piano, the gatekeeper refuses has entry to him for that action alone. He apologizes for this inconvenience, but the gatekeeper gives him a chance for a reprieve; should Tom have Jerry sign a certificate of forgiveness, he will be able to board the "Heavenly Express", which leaves in one hour. If he fails, Tom will be banished to hell where the hellhound devil awaits.

Read the following paragraph and extract the answer for the question: What is the first name of the character whose next fight is interrupted by a coyote?  Hector Villa is a young Mexican national and border-crossing migrant and worker with boxing abilities mirroring his late father's. He could perhaps be good if he learned to think along with his pummeling. Despite all of this, Hector is a hard worker on a Texas farm who does what he can to provide for his ailing mother which includes pulling in a few side dollars from small-time, illegal gambling fights. Tito, a "coyote" (a person who helps smuggle people across the border) spends his days as a snake catcher but at night, helps smuggle immigrants across the border. After winning a fight in a local mechanic's garage, Hector tries to get another fight but the entertainment is interrupted by Tito who scolds both Hector and the owner due to the fact that Tito could  get into more trouble for illegal gambling fights as if smuggling illegals across the border isn't enough. Corralled, Hector goes to change but is followed in by another illegal; Maria. It soon becomes known that they grew up together as kids and it also becomes apparent that Hector dislikes her (mostly because of her sarcastic teasing). Tito hands Hector medicine for his mother and the three head back to the farm where they all work. After settling all of the immigrants in, Maria goes into her own suite with Hector and makes herself at home despite Hector being less than welcoming. Hector then goes to his mother Rosa to give her the medicine but it becomes apparent that she is getting worse. Hector begs her to not go out to the fields the next day but she declines stating "No work, no pay". She scolds Hector for fighting to make money and reminds him that a fighter's lifestyle gave his father nothing. Maria walks in and gets reacquainted with Hector's mother who comments on how much she has grown  and how beautiful she has gotten after nine years apart.
