Aristotle said that the perfect tragedy happened from good to bad rather than bad to good. This is just like a firework from the moment that you light the fuse the anticipation of the fire works builds up and when the firework explodes you are happy. Until there is nothing but ashes creating the perfect tragedy

Aristotle has made many ways to define what tragedy and how it has a toll on people and what can create the worst kind of tragedy.

The quote once again just supports their claim, fear can influence a teenager because of their underdeveloped brain. But that isn't the only thing, emotions, people, and their overall surroundings can change how a person acts and reacts to certain situations that occur in their life. Anything they are exposed to can impact the direction they go in life.

The author uses Michael Scott's love situation as an example to prove why love at first sight is not real. However, the author still took into account that people still feel this feeling. He recognizes that after meeting someone for the first time, you may feel romantic feelings. So, he is not denying being attracted to someone at the first sight. The "weight" he mentions is the strong, intense feeling that this attraction hits you with all at once. The reason Michael Scott and this were used together were to show that Michael did follow through with this attraction and regretted it. Going along with that, the author believes that that it is what the most probable outcome will be.

It is important to remember here that Romeo and Juliet were just teenagers here and that they didn't even know each other that well at this point. Their kiss was a symbol of falling in love at first sight. It shows their intense love for each other, despite not knowing each other for that long. The significance of them only being teenagers is that their emotions were so strong. It could be something psychological. But whatever it was, part of it was real love. They felt connected to one another.

This article relates to Romeo & Juliet in that they are both young and experience their first serious crush. Admittedly Romeo did have a crush on Juliet’s cousin, Rosaline, but that quickly fades away after he meets Juliet. It's clear that Romeo is a young boy who had experienced his first crush and eventually got his second much more serious crush on Juliet. The two are young and experiencing their first taste of love in the realist form. Not just an idolized person that occurs in romantic crushes but as a more evolved form of that type of crush even in their short time of meeting one another. A passionate type of star-crossed love that leads into the death of both in a tragic ending.

Falling  in love at first sight is something that many people are victims of. It's a common theme in literature. However, the author of this article believes that it is just an illusion. He uses the example of Michael Scott to describe how love at first sight is not real. But, the author does recognize how overpowering the feeling of falling in love at first sight is. He knows that it may be difficult to get rid of that feeling right away. Although it may seem a bit contradictory, he uses Shakespeare and statistics to support his belief. It still hasn't been scientifically proven if this feeling is true, but Shakespeare has shown through his writing how real and passionate this is. He uses the example of Romeo and Juliet. They are a couple who fell in love at first sight. Right off the bat, their emotions burst and they are immediately interested in each other. Romeo begs Juliet to kiss him. They were very passionate for one another for having not known each other for more than an evening. Connecting the two following quotes and analysis is important because although they seem to contradict each other, they actually work well with each other. Romeo and Juliet probably felt these intense feelings because of their age. Michael Scott saw the reality of things as an adult. However, the author isn't completely denying the fact that there could be some level of attraction when meeting someone for the first time. It's the exciting beginning.

The article "Fear Prompts Teens to Act Impulsively" by Laura Sanders talks about the influences that people and certain emotions, in this case fear, can have on the actions of teens. They show multiple examples of studies that were done in order to come to this conclusion. One study that was prominent throughout the entire article was one done on teenagers between the ages of 13-17. They were asked to not press a button that was set in front of them when shown a threatening expression. Most if not all of the younger ages had been determined to have less of an impulse control, they  impulsively did the complete opposite and pressed the button multiple times. They wanted to further study this theory and started to do brain scans. They declared that the scans had supported their theory. Teens were truly at a greater risk of being influenced easier because of their underdeveloped brain. Everything that is exposed to their eyes would have some sort of affect on them, whether it be television shows, parents, friends, or books.

The first two lines show that she is being treated unfairly. Nobody cares about what she thinks or has to say. The following two lines connect with that because even though she was smarter than a boy, he was given a spot on the math team and she wasn't. Therefore, he will be given better opportunities than she will. She then mentions not liking that she has to wear braces. It is very stereotypical that wearing braces means that you are not part of the popular or cool crowd. After, she says that she has no clothes to wear. The author used both the braces and clothes to show that no matter how hard the speaker tries to fit in, there are always going to be aspects of her that make her feel like she can't. Finally, the poem closes with her absent mother. It can be inferred that the speaker feels this way because her mother never helps her out. This part of the poem is the most dramatic because it really digs into the speaker's insecurities. The significance of mentioning her mother multiple times is to show that at the end of every one of her issues and insecurities is her mother never there for her.

"Nobody even stops to think
about my side of it
I should have been on the Math Team
my marks were better than his
why do I have to be
the one
wearing braces
I have nothing to wear tomorrow
will I live long enough
to grow up
and momma's in the bedroom
with the door closed" (Lorde).

The speaker's attempt to teach herself how to dance is an example of how she feels like she must fit in. If she goes to that party and can't dance, then she's going to feel embarrassed. Her room is a representation of her age. It's the bridge from childhood to adulthood. It also shows how many of her needs are not being met by her mother. She's growing up and is starting to realize that not everything she has is going to always fit her. The next few lines mention death again. They also bring up that she has so much to do. The speaker is probably working herself very much to have better grades or work than other people. She's not trying to make it seem like she is better than others, but that she actually puts effort into what she does. But, she thinks that no one has noticed how hard she has worked. Because of that, she thinks that the only way people will see her is by dying. If she did die, everyone would be focusing on her and all of her accomplishments in life during her funeral. But, just like the previous stanza, her mother would not care.

This article is about recognizing where your loyalties lie. There are different types of loyalty and sometimes you have to choose one thing over another. You need to be able to choose what is more important to you. It is easy for teenagers to get their loyalties misplaced. This is because of love. When a teenager loves someone, it can be difficult to recognize who is truly on your side. It is easy to make the wrong decisions and get your heart broken. The article states that, “This is because the teen brain is still only developing and is sensitive to any kind of environmental stimulation, both when it is rewarding and when it is not” (Tree). In the end, you need to be loyal to yourself before anybody else.

"I have to learn how to dance
in time for my next party
my room is too small for me
suppose I die before graduation
they will sing sad melodies
but finally
tell the truth about me
There is nothing I want to do
and too much
that has to be done
and momma's in the bedroom
with the door closed" (Lorde).

Right off the bat, the article categorizes the three different types of crushes a teenager has as identity crushes, romantic crushes, and romantic crushes. In all types a teenager gains this sort of idealized form of the person in question. They began to project this model of a person onto their crush. Crushes themselves are tied to growing up and maturity. A romantic crush is a mix of adoration and idolization which is a powerful cocktail of feelings taken by the person who crushes. It’s a type of crush that as stated in the article “ doesn’t require knowing another

person well at all” (Pickhardt).  It’s often that those types of crushes don’t last long and fade after getting to know the person. (Pickhardt).

The speaker says that she is fourteen years old. At this point of the poem, the reader still does not know what the speaker has been through or what she is feeling. She says that she is betrayed by her skin. If her skin has done a crime to her, then it means that she is a person of color facing racism. Then, she mentions a boy that she desperately needs. He still sucks his thumb, which shows how he still has an innocent and sensitive side to him. The speaker begins to express her concerns about things, such as her knees and about death. For the first time in the poem, she mentions her absent mother. The importance between the girl and the boy is that the girl feels like she is in a rush to grow up and raise herself, whereas the boy probably has a parent or someone to raise them. Because of that, he probably seems more childish to the girl because he doesn't have to feel like he has to grow up as fast as she does.

and my skin has betrayed me
the boy I cannot live without
still sucks his thumb
in secret
how come my knees are always so ashy
what if I die

"Hanging Fire" by Audrey Lorde is about a fourteen year old having to learn how to raise themself because of their absent mother.  Although the speaker's gender is never mentioned, it can be inferred that the speaker is a girl. She has anxiety issues and frequently worries about the things in her life. Her concerns are very typical things for someone her age to be concerned about. However, they stick out more than usual because the speaker has no mother to rely on, making her feel helpless. There is no parental point of view to guide her through her insecurities and issues. Every time she overthinks, it all leads her back to her mother's absence.
