Define in your own words: What does "state" in React mean? How do we use it?	State keeps track of qualities/data/information about components; it's tracking the status of things we need to be able to change and control. We can use state for lots of things, but it is incredibly useful for passing information around to different components to trigger various effects, behavior, appearance, etc. It's essentially used for dynamic data tracking.
Describe the relationships between the components on a high-level: which components were siblings? Which components were nested within each other?	Sibling components were the player submission form, recent submission, and final poem. Their parent was the game, and its parent was the app. The app renders the game, and the game rendered the other components.
How did this project differ from in-class examples?	This project was different in that we needed to find a way to display components conditionally - in the Ada Students example, there was not the need to display a student based on the state of another component. There were also sibling components which was not the case in the in-class examples.
How was this project similar to in-class examples?	There was nesting, conditional styling, state, component rendering, mapping of an array into component elements, event handling of clicks and submits.
