782 PointsI encountered end of file error. I checked to make sure I close all my curly braces
import java.io.Console;
public class TreeStory {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Console console = System.console();
String ageAsString = console.readLine("How old are you? ");
int age = Integer.parseInt(ageAsString);
if (age < 13)
{
//insert exit code
console.printf("Sorry you must be at least 13 to use this program.\n");
System.exit(0);
}
String name = console.readLine("Enter your name: ");
String adjective = console.readLine("Enter an adjective: ");
String noun;
boolean isInvalidWord;
do
{
noun = console.readLine("Enter a noun: ");
isInvalidWord = (noun.equalsIgnoreCase("dork") || noun.equalsIgnoreCase("jerk"));
if (isInvalidWord) {
console.printf("That language is not allowed. Try again \n\n");
} while(isInvalidWord);
String adverb = console.readLine("Enter a adverb: ");
String verb = console.readLine("Enter a verb: ");
console.printf("Your TreeStory:\n_______________________\n ");
console.printf("%s is an %s %s.", name, adjective, noun);
console.printf("They are always %s %s.\n", adverb, verb);
}
}

That will fix your parse error.

Courses Plus Student 1,575 PointsYou didn't close the if statement within your do-while loop. It looks to be around line 22.
