Write an essay explaining why being overconfident can sometimes result in disappointment.

Being overconfident could end in disappointment in many ways. For one, many people may not want to spend time with you, because you might brag or talk too much about yourself, and you'll end up losing friends. You could even lose connections with family. It could also result in disappointment because if you are too overconfident, and you still fail something, it would probably hurt your own feeling really bad because you were so sure you could complete something. Then, you would most likely end up with no confidence at all. (There are many reasons being overconfident isn't always good, but I hope these two were useful. -pastasantana on instagram) :)

What best defines the mode of narration in this excerpt from Daisy Miller by Henry James?
The young lady inspected her flounces and smoothed her ribbons again; and Winterbourne presently risked an observation upon the beauty of the view. He was ceasing to be embarassed, for he had begun to perceive that she was not in the least embarrassed herself. There had not been the slightest alteration in her charming complexion; she was evidently neither offended nor flattered. If she looked another way when he spoke to her, and seemed not particularly to hear him, this was simply her habit, her manner. Yet, as he talked a little more and pointed out some of the objects of interest in the view, with which she appeared quite unacquainted, she gradually gave him more of the benefit of her glance; and then he saw that this glance was perfectly direct and unshrinking. It was not, however, what would have been called an immodest glance, for the young girl's eyes were singularly honest and fresh. They were wonderfully pretty eyes; and, indeed, Winterbourne had not seen for a long time anything prettier than his fair countrywoman's various features—her complexion, her nose, her ears, her teeth. He had a great relish for feminine beauty; he was addicted to observing and analyzing it; and as regards this young lady's face he made several observations.
