The first example of how hasty decisions can have consequences is through the exile of Romeo. Romeo’s exile came after he stated, “This shall determine that” (Shakespeare 3.1 138) This quote

The use of irony is prevalent in literature throughout time. A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah, exhibits a first hand experience as a child soldier in the Sierra Leone Civil War and the events experienced by those who lived through it. The novel has an ironic undertone when analyzing his actions not subjectively but objectively. When looking at his actions in comparison to normal society it reveals the irony that is written in the lines of the novel. Although he was raised in this environment, objectively, any justification of his actions predicated off an emotional perspective is not only unjust, but unethical. We, as a society, hold ourselves to a humane standard of living, and is undoubtedly true for any person of origin.

Hindsight is always 20/20. Too many times we see people fail to consider the consequences of their actions, then wish they could go back and stop themselves of ever doing what they did. We can see examples of this from Romeo, Juliet, Elaine, Holden, and others in each of their respective stories. If these characters considered either their short-term consequence, long term, or just were aware of their surroundings, they’d have lived much happier lives. Just take a second, observe what's happening, and think ahead of what might the outcome of your actions will be.

Recklessness: A person acts recklessly if he is aware of a substantial risk that a certain result will occur as a result of his actions. The risk must be substantial enough that the action represents a gross deviation from what a reasonable law abiding person would do.

The Holocaust claimed more than three million European Jews lives; this act is carried out by the German Nazi regime during the Second World War. Eliezer Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor, and author of Night, a memoir, recounts the atrocious events he endured as a teenager in the Holocaust. He lost himself and his beliefs through that horrific experience. He had been a young, observant Jewish; Eliezer had yearned to gain more knowledge pertaining to the spiritual customs of his faith. Throughout the duration of the memoir, Eliezer loses hope in the goodness of God. He believes he is not good because He is not stopping the frightening acts that were occurring all around him. In Night, irony conveys Eliezer’s change in faith.

Have you ever made a decision and later completely wonder why it is you made that decision? “Sway The Irresistible Pull of Irrational Behavior” by Ori Brafman and Rom Brafman examine moments of our lives where we could easily be swayed. The Brafmans discuss topics like commitment and value attribution. With examples of what attracts us into making a bad decision. The brilliant authors make it easy to understand the analyzations of the situations. Where there is a possibility of being swayed. With proper analyzation we can prevent these situations from taking place again. Almost everyone has made a decision we misunderstand and behind that decision is an irresistible pull of irrational behavior. No one is perfect, and no one can avoid being swayed into an irrational situation, not even me.

In the Canterbury Tales, Geoffrey Chaucer uses irony as a method to stating his personal thoughts and opinions , especially about the Catholic Church, without outrightly doing so. “And Nicholas had stroked her loins a bit And kissed her , sweetly he took down his harp And played away, a merry tune and sharp. It happened later she went off to church, This worthy wife, one holiday, to search Her conscience and do the works of Christ.” Since it was socially unacceptable to disregard the workings of the Church during this time. Chaucer used characters Alison and Nicholas as medium to express his feelings.

Out I went into the meadow, Where the moon was shining brightly, And the oak-tree’s lengthening shadows On the sloping sward did lean; For I longed to see the goblins, And the dainty-footed fairies, And the gnomes, who dwell in caverns, But come forth on Halloween. “All the spirits, good and evil, Fay and pixie, witch and wizard, On this night will sure be stirring," Thought I, as I walked along; “And if Puck, the merry wanderer, Or her majesty, Titania, Or that Mab who teases housewives If their housewifery be wrong, Should but condescend to meet me”— But my thoughts took sudden parting,

“I guess.” Seth climbed onto his horse and started trotting up a slope. We found a shady spot at the top of the stone face near where the bats had swarmed and sat on a big rock, watching Seth hang onto his frisky horse’s reins. Once he reached the truck, he flipped open the toolbox and yanked a flashlight out. He dropped his note inside the cab and started toward where we were waiting.

She was a slip amongst the thrashing crowd. As people brushed up against her, their clothes and skin transformed into the sweetest of electric shocks, kisses she could not resist. Already, she knew her pupils must be growing to eclipse the full moon her eyes reflected. It didn’t matter who was next to her, as long the movement and music didn’t stop, never stopped. Beats resonated in ways unimaginable, causing her breath to hitch and mind to go blank. The most blissful of blanks. Should she chance glancing around for her friends? After all, she did come here for them. Here was a fairy den – a derelict building from before that was transformed for the sole purpose of trouble. Some enterprising creature managed to put old speakers back together and either had or found someone with enough power to make them run. They collaborated with a firefly to create the accompanying light shows, fashioned curtained grottos featuring plush floor cushions around a vast dance floor, and let the word spread. Once people knew of the location, they came in droves and the drugs and fun followed.

Sometimes, thinking before making a decision is dangerous and bad. There are many examples from the Greek myths, “Prometheus”, and, “Orpheus and Eurydice”. Also, there can be examples from experience.

“Wait!” Electra called after them. “Don’t go yet. Where is the cure?” She ran her eyes around the mound, feeling the earth and the grass with her hands, then looked up at the remaining few fairies. “You didn’t give us what we came after. Where is the

Seth had finished making his drink and Kayla singsonged high-spiritedly close behind him as they went to leave the house together. At the door, he didn’t hesitate to notice having to unbolt the lock, and as he did, he looked back at her standing close behind him. She was smiling innocently as if the mere fact of going outside was the equivalence of a trip to the circus.

“Vivienne! Coxey! Come quick! There’s a…monster outside!” I heard one of the tiny dolls shout. Two dainty girls entered the room from a ladder. All the people, there were four of them, turned to face me. One of them, with wavy black hair and a frilly red dress, spoke up.
