    seems like heaven, but proceeding even more in this action, when you know it´s not right, might cost you later when you aren't expecting it. Immoral or being unethical is choosing wrong over right; whereas being moral is deciding which is the better choice, and sticking with it. It is never acceptable to be immoral or unethical, for it reflects how people see one person, which is your reputation, and one immoral decision can lead others to follow or do the same; but through all of this, a person is

    was the theme of choice which was shown by characters in my texts. Also, how the setting impacted the choices made. By this, I mean how the time and place impacted what people did.

    Stephen Hawking once said, “The reason we say that humans have free will is because we can't predict what they will do.” Our free will is a natural given right and should always be taken into consideration, it’s what allows us to do and say what we want.

John Knowles went with a similar concept in A Separate Peace through his characters Finny and Gene. Gene’s questionable

    “It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities” J.K. Rolwing once said. Sometimes in life you’re put in a life-or-death situation and you have to make some hard choices...you could either do what’s right or let the fear take over and lead you to the wrong choice. People should always be held accountable for their actions whether they are in a life-or-death situation or not. Everyone is responsible for themselves and their actions.
