Doing things without thinking can lead to very bad situations that are hard to get out of. This is seen in William Shakespeare's drama Romeo and Juliet, a story of star-crossed lovers that fall in love despite the rivery of both of their parents and, Alex Flinn's novel Beastly in which Kyle Kingsbury a teenage boy who thought everything was about the looks and how he was so perfect until he turned into a beast. A common theme found in both of these stories is people who act impulsively suffer negative consequences.
First of all in Shakespeare’s drama Romeo and Juliet, Friar Lawrence acts impulsively in act 4, line 95 - 100, he was impulsive because he said “take thou this vial, being then in bed and this distilling liquor drink thou off; when

He thinks that he is completely better than everyone and doesn't know how bad it affects other people. In chapter one Kyle was being impulsive because he didn't know what he was saying to Kendra would affect him. Kyle was being impulsive because he told Kendra ¨If someones so smart, they'd figure out how to get better looking. You could lose weight get plastic surgery, even get your face scraped and your teeth bleached.¨ This shows Kyle being impulsive because He didn't know that Kendra would react the way she did (turning him into a beast later on). He did not think before anything came out of his mouth.This is important because Kendra turns Kyle into a beast and gives him 3 years to learn that lesson and fall in love. Kyles impulsivity caused this to happen because he was a jerk and did not care about what his words caused. Another example In chapter 2 and chapter 6, Kyle was being impulsive because he asked Kendra to the dance and he did not know what was soon to come. He was being impulsive because Kyle asked ¨so I was wondering if you'd go with me to the dance next week. I think we'd have a good time¨ to Kendra. Also later in the story, he told Kendra after showing up with a different date. ¨You actually thought someone like me would take someone like you to the dance?¨ This shows that Kyle was being impulsive because Kyle didn't really want to go
I have learned that kyle is competitive through his actions,dialogue, relationships,problems, and choices. One action about kyle being competitive is he broke a window trying to beat his brothers in a game. One dialogue about kyle being competitive is kyle screamed yahhhhhhh when Mr.lemoncello cald his name for the writing piece. Another action about kyle being competitive is when him and his team escaped from Mr.lemoncello’s library.
This overly cautious boy somehow finds himself rushing into the battlefront, where Alison was being dragged without any plan of action or resolve: “What was he doing…” (79). We notice here that Kyle doesn’t even realize what he is doing as he incautiously rushes to the damsel in distress. This is quite un-Kyle-like for he had not properly conducted solution in overcoming the problem. Quite a change from the beginning of the story where Kyle would recognize the situation properly and come forth with proper procedures in order to confront it, like he did when he walked in the house with his shoes on and when he walked in the house with his dirty socks. Kyle changes from mentally rehearsing an event to bluntly rushing into action.
Charlie instantaneously accompanies Jasper when he appears at his window one night. Charlie explains that “The thrill of this, coupled with the fact that Jasper Jones needs my help, already fills the moment with something portentous.” (Silvey, pg. 2). Charlie has already decided to follow Jasper even though he doesn't know him and has only heard bad things for all of his life. He is acting impulsively in that he is going to follow Jasper just because he has a feeling that something momentous is going to happen that will alter his life, for better or worse he doesn't know.
Adolescents make more rash decisions than any other age group. This behavior linked with teenagers leads to risky actions because of the design of the teenage brain. On the flip side, the blueprint of the teenage brain permits teens to pick up new skills by seeking out different adventures. The teenage characters in Romeo and Juliet pose as an accurate representation of typical teenage decision making. Although this is consistent behavior with this age group, based upon scientific findings of adolescent brain growth, brain maturity, and pleasure drive, teenagers like Romeo and Juliet should be held responsible for their risk-taking and impulsive behavior.
The problem is, Kyle doesn’t want to let his friends down or lose the rush that he craves. If he helps the police, he won’t go to jail, but he risks losing his friends and what he loves to do. Kyle realizes how serious it is to steal things, and he soon acknowledges that his actions have put the life in front of him in jeopardy. Every choice or path
“Things are not always what they seem; the first appearance deceives the many” - Phaedrus. This was the case with Juliet Capulet. She may appear to the crowd as a radiant damsel, but it was what was inside of her that produced the outcome of Romeo and Juliet. The tragic tale of Romeo and Juliet is based on two young lovers from feuding families that despise each other. Only a few days after they meet they get married, separated, and then they both ending up committing suicide because they couldn’t see each other. Throughout the story Juliet exhibits a multitude of trates. Juliet, in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, is a character that displays impulsiveness, foolhardiness, and tenacity.
Kyle in the story “Cons” lived with his poor decision making for the rest of his life. It effected everything he did. He had to live with the guilt he felt every day for the rest of his life. On his first date with Lisa he said, “You should know that I was in prison…I drove up on a sidewalk. There was a young couple on a date and I hit them and they died” (Walter, 2). This is also how he introduced himself when he met Lisa’s parents. Walter feels that his mistake now defines him. When he meets someone new he feels that he must first tell them he has been to prison. His mistake has completely taken over his life. He thinks that he is worthless because of his past
This gives a good insight on who Kyle really is and that he is not a murderer or someone who would ever set out to do something even close to the degree that he did to those two teenagers. Kyle always has a blanket of depression and guilt hanging over his head even though there has been some time passed since the tragedy and he only has good things happening around him at this point, such as his marriage. On top of how Kyle feels himself, the father of the 17-year-old he killed sends him letters every few months to remind him of what he has done; as if he needs reminding. They give detail about her and how all of their lives are changed because of him. In one, Shae-Lynns’s father says, “Today would have been Shae-Lynn’s twenty eighth birthday.
Lack of maturity can cause people to make bad decisions that affect them and everyone around them. In Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, a story about two star-crossed lovers, the main character, Romeo, is very impulsive and juvenile, which leads to both his and others death in the end. Personal traits define characters and can lead to their downfall.
Another part of beastly where the mood changes are when Kyle’s dad makes Kyle move to, a castle in Brooklyn so he wouldn’t embarrass him. Evidence… (Flinn, Pages 90-91)… “Stop Calling me that!”... “I don’t care about your country. I don’t care about anything about you.” Kyle, during this part, had been taking the anger about his father onto Magda.
Collen brought to Kyle’s attention problems that were developing with the new migration and tried to address the situation with him multiple times. Kyle paid little to no attention to the situation at hand and chose to remain firm in his belief that it has worked in the past and it will work now just do what I say and everything will be ok. Well things continued to depreciate in the form of personnel leaving due to his
After the incident Kyle pursues being a ranch manager by studying in school and working as a ranch hand to gain experience. While working on the ranch Kyle thinks about the direction of his life and decided to drop out of college, and return to his original plan of joining the military.
On Kyle’s third tour an enemy sniper known by the name of Mustafa killed one of Kyle’s unit members and wounded another. Kyle’s team was evacuated to base, but later returned to the field to finish the mission. On Kyle’s last tour, he is assigned to kill the sniper Mustafa. Once the mission was complete, he finally returned home for good. Once Kyle was home, he could not fully adjust to living the life as a civilian. Kyle visited a psychiatrist after having a PTSD attack at a birthday party. After discussing his problems, the psychiatrist recommends Kyle to help with a group of wounded veterans. Kyle adapted to his new life very well over time. The final scene began with Kyle driving off with one of the retired veterans he was trying to help. He was later killed by this retired veteran, and that is where the movie
