Choices, the story writen by Susan Kerslake is about how the choices that we make everyday affect who we are and how our life can change by making the wrong decission. But is it always a bad decission? is it always our fault?

Have you ever read the stories "A Boys Life" and "Emancipation?" If you had ever read them, you would see that they have some parts that are the same and some parts that are different. For the Theme for both stories i think the theme is, sometimes when you are taking a chance you can get rewarded.

What is interesting is that the author uses biblical terms in the title of chapter’s 2, 5, and 6 such as Blood of the Lamb, As Evil Does and Thunder from Heaven. There is also an unexpected twist in the book that can be viewed at as injustice. Ottis Toole, pedophile, and convicted serial killer died in prison on September 15, 1996, before he got to serve time for Adam’s death. Based on the principles and ideals of our founding fathers was justice really served, or did our criminal justice system failed Adam and his

When Adam was as young man he was always doing crazy things. For example, one night after watching a Navy SEAL movie he decided that he was going to jump out of a moving car off the I-70 West Bridge and into Lake Hamilton. (pages: 33 & 34) That was just one of the many things he did. Even when he was on an Op he would always put others

“Life is the sum of all your choices.” said Albert Camus. Choices have consequences that will always affect your life and making choices is just a part of human nature. There is one book that showcases choices perfectly and how they affect the main character’s life. This book is called Tangerine, and it shows how choices and events can change people or places by showing us choices that affected its main character, Paul Fisher. This essay will show you just how much people’s choices and events affected his life, and will show you just how much the choices you make will affect your life.

The part of this book that has had the most impact on me personally would be when Adam says; “You never realize how much you value something until you are faced with

The story sends a message about following the path that makes one happy and about doing the right thing. Solid themes about second chances and reconnecting are interwoven.

Seth became a miracle worker taking on the wounds and pain of others and othering blessings. He watched his father bloom with pride and his brother sour with a sense of injustice that Seth was too frightened to feel himself. Seth began to see less of his family. Albert took him under his wing and took full advantage of him. He alienated Seth so he would have full access to him. Seth became withdrawn. He felt tired in both his body and his soul. When Cass became aware of his situation Seth did his best to push his brother away, but his brother refused to allow the situation to go on. Cass fought with Albert and was thrown out of the church. Seth felt certain his own fate was sealed.

The first event that makes Seth throw away his jacket is when Adam pretends to drop a rock on some cars, one of the cars swerves out of its lane almost causing an accident. This action surprises Seth, the story says,” Seth felt his jaw drop. He couldn’t believe Adam had done that. If that car had been going faster it might have gone out of control and crashed into the stone abutment next to the highway.” Seth’s reaction to Adam’s action shows that Seth
