When Aaron came home from the tryout, why didn’t he take up the coach’s challenge to return, to try harder? When Julia discovered that she wasn’t as smart as she thought, why did she collapse?

Fragility has become a characteristic of American children and teenagers to an extent unknown 25 years ago. That.
