Do you ever come to a road block in your life and not know what to do? Everyday every person all around the world has some type of task/goal that they want to achieve that day. Sometimes your goal could seem impossible. Some characters from our Facing Challenges unit had to face some difficult decisions in order to achieve their goal/task. Throughout these tough decisions, the characters struggled but maintained themselves calmly. There are many different themes for all of the different stories but I believe that the main theme is that you need to be careful when making decisions because it affects others.

Luella Bates Washington Jones is an independent woman with some hard decisions in her life. Such as when she almost got her purse stolen from a young boy named Roger. Jones decided to be nice to the boy but teach him a lesson at the same time. She takes Roger to her house and makes him cleanup. Roger has a chance to escape while on his way to the bathroom. “ The door was open. He could make a dash for it down the hall.

I mean Mrs. Flowers did throw her, her first lifeline. If you look at this other example, it seems that whenever Marguerite went back to someplace she loved and adored, she couldn’t leave. Just like in these few sentences “ When Maya was about ten years old, she returned to Stamps from a visit to St. Louis with her mother. She had become depressed and withdrawn.” (Angelou 26) Her deciding to go to Mrs, Flowers house was the best thing that could’ve turned out for her.

Marguerite had some tough decisions in this story. Being so tough at the time, she definitely remained mature and
