<def-root>An <fen>Agent</fen> avoids an <fen>Undesirable_situation</fen> under certain <fen>Circumstances</fen>. That situation may be an activity (e.g. going to school), or an entity (perhaps) metonymic for such an activity or situation (e.g. the curb). In this frame, the situation is undesirable from the <fen>Agent</fen>'s point of view (e.g. <ment>evade</ment>), and contrasts with scenes in which the situation is specifically undesirable to someone else (e.g. <ment>forbear</ment>) or from the point of view of an external morality (e.g. <ment>abstain</ment>).
