Imagine you are faced with two choices, where one is the right choice you know you have to make, but there is a tiny part of you that just wants to make the other choice to see what plays out. Which one would you choose? The more reasonable decision that would surely guide you down the right path, or the erratic decision that you are taking a risk on? In Updike’s “A&P”, Herbert’s “The Nothing”, and Chopin’s “A Pair of Silk Stockings”, the three central characters, Sammy, Jean, and Mrs. Sommers,…

life changing. By the end, we see the tone shift to being adventurous when the speaker abruptly “..took the fast way home / .. and phoned the blond” (21-20) risking everything for lust, again, conveying to the reader to live their best life with the choices they want to make, before life passes them by and they are left behind with a life of…

take your last embrace! and, lips, O you The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss A dateless bargain to engrossing death!” (Act 5 Scene 3) Romeo and Juliet die at the end of the play, both by suicide. If either of them had considered their choices more carefully, they might’ve lived a better life. Romeo could’ve attempted to rationalize and move on to try and find new love, but instead he chose suicide instead. Due to his overwhelming grief, he wasn’t able to consider the consequences or…

The Free Will argument is the predictability of the physical brain and the mental states. The brain is what we think causes us to act or think a certain way, but it is actually the universe and the laws of nature that play a significant role in the determination of our choices. The choices we make seem to be free choices, but…

sainthood, which proclaims that “one cannot give one’s preference to any individual person.” With this statement, Orwell has swayed his readers again in the direction of choosing the life of imperfection over sainthood. And although his views of the choices are obvious, Orwell is careful in his statement that he does not make the decisions for his audience, but that he wants individuals to really decide and choose for themselves the path they want to live. Orwell does this by including the words…

apparent that our choices are not in our control. However, these choices are two sides of the same coin. Although we may not know for certain what will happen, we can still, to some extent, predict what the ramifications will be. We make decisions every day, thinking solely on how they will impact our future. Although we may or may not know the specificities of the consequences, we can still decide if they will affect us negatively or positively. So, we usually gravitate towards choices that…

are a product of your environment, and that you don’t have any choices in what you believe or the paths that you take in life. I believe that you make your own choices in life, and can really be successful in any situation if you set your mind to it. You are your own person, and can make your own decisions. Throughout the readings you can see this over and over again. In “Don’t Blame the Eater” you see a young man make positive choices in his life after being dealt a bad set of cards. In the…

Lastly, student choice in reading allows…
