Intoduction---------> Have you ever done something as a child not knowing what you had done until you'lve actually done it? My following essay will discuss three works of literature supporting the qoute "Youth is quick in feeling but weak in judgement" by Homer. Some people usually think before they act on a certain moment but for others they usually act before they think they should act on it or not. As for young children the feeling usually comes first rather than the judgement that they must make before they act.

After observing some local boys swim through the tunnel, Jerry is compelled to try it himself. It is a very difficult and dangerous swim, but something Jerry is convinced he must do. Putting himself in great danger, he manages to accomplish this goal and, in doing so, takes his first step in becoming a man. Another character whose judgement came much later than his feelings. I again agree that youth is quick in feeling but weak in judgement because Jerry had done something that put his life in risk just to impress a group of boys. He wasn't thinking hard enough wether it was worth goin through that tunnel for a bunch of local boys. Thats when his judgement came and he realizes that it wasn't worth what he had done and that the boys no longer mat
