How Does Goro Respond To Success Or Failure?

Improved Essays
THE man raced down the deserted streets of Marblewick, legs darting straight ahead, lungs heaving up and down like roller coaster. No one can save him from the mistakes he made, who would anyone in middle of rainy night? Goro acknowledges that, escaping them is inevitable but he's not going to die without a fight.
