Choices are what shape our life. Everything we do in life is by choice. Without them we won't be where we are now. There are some good choices but there is also some bad choices. So the next time I have to make a choice, I will make sure I think before I make it because it will scare me for life even if it's in a good or bad way.
In the poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost the narrator has a choice to choose between two roads. The color of the wood in the two roads diverged was yellow. One of the roads bent into the undergrowth. He took the other road because it was grassy and wanted wear. The two roads were equally lay. He wouldn't return to travel the other road because he took the one less traveled by and he said "I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference". He will be telling his tale in ages and ages hence. The tone of the poem is serious. He took both as far as he could and then took the other one and had a better out-come, the one that was less traveled on. His choice was important because it all depended on where he wanted to get.
In the short story "DEAD END" Maria the main character has a choice of keeping the promise she made to her mom or fool around with a kid in her school that she has a crush on. I agree to Maria's choice, I think that she was very smart of her to choose that because school is a very important thing in life but not only that she made a promise to her mom that she would finish school and be an important and educated person. I have been through something like that, i had to choose from cutting to have fun with my friends and from going to school. This was a hard thing to choose from because I am not really much of a girl who likes being in school but yet I am trying to graduate and its pretty hard to ignore having fun or staying home sleeping at times. The legend "Hispanic Legend of La Llorona" is a great influenced in the short story because Maria, is with Frankie by the river she heard the lady and that's what snapped her out of the bad choice she was going to take, because it remind her about her mother. The setting of the story is important because the place and time she was leaving in showed that it was hard to grow up in as a teenager and specially that Maria was trying to finish school and the environment she was leaving in made it hard for her and she had to make a choice of continuing school or fit in the crew. The main characters are Frankie, Sandra, Denise
