ZeFrank talks about the fluidity of the teenage brain in "The Teen Brain". He states that teenage brains are not exactly inadequate but that they simply function different. Based on the layout of our brains our initial reaction to things is strictly emotional. After we have settled in with what has happened we start to think rationally. The difference between an adult brain and a teenage brain is that adult brains tend to have shorter emotional reactions and quickly move to the rational way of thought and reflection. As a teenager myself i have noticed that I do sometimes drag out the emotional side of my reactions it is only until later that I see a more reasonable approach to my struggles.

In Ernest Hemingway's "Hills like white Elephants," and Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery," the couples are doomed because, The women feel betrayed, the men feel helpless, and the children make everything more complicated.

Ben mooney and I share a common relationship with George and Lenny. Ben is slow, and doesn't understand small social cues. He often gets frustrated by little things that he could easily fix himself. I am like George because I am always trying to get Mooney to do things when we are at home in brookline. He is not socially aware so i take it on as my responsibility to get him out of the house.
