There are many lessons to learn in life. I believe that we are dealt with some trials, some larger than others. We make choices based on our reactions to these certain circumstances some of us regret our choices or decisions and learn from them to do better the next time. I believe that is what life is about. What choices we make and the outcome of the choices and what we can do to make it better is our decision.

Gaines, this lesson is taught throughout the progression of the plot through the characters of Jeffrey, Grant, and Miss Emma.

Lesson Before Dying By reading the title of the novel Lesson Before Dying it tells the reader that there are many unknown lessons to learn before dying.

Some believe that they are meant to leave no mark on this earth. They go through life believing they are just a tiny spect, but what some may never realize how precious our lives are. Making memories may not last forever, but who we make them with impacts every aspect of our lives and others. I believe that no matter what time we have on earth we should devote some of it to helping others. This doesn't always mean every time someone needs something that you drop everything just for them. This means you help those less fortunate and never use money as an excuse. We are give a very short period of time here on earth, how we use that time is up to

“All endings are beginnings, we just don't know it at the time”(~Author) Eddie spent most of his life life working at the Ruby Pier Amusement park as a maintenance man. After Eddie died he thought it was the end of his life but instead he was taught 5 important lessons that would change his view on life forever.

What are lessons, are they what we learn in school or are they what we learn from experiences. Mostly lessons are learned from stories writing to teach us the cause and effect of actions one person can do. One such person is Winston Wyn from the book The Butterfly Revolution by William Butler.

The audience sees this with Winston, when he gains power, he don't question what is right or wrong and mostly went toward the wrong choice.

Life lessons. What are they really? People of all ages and times have different definitions of them. For a young girl, something so simple as smiling at a stranger in a coffee shop and having them smile back can be the best lesson she ever learns.
