outside reading 2: "sixty acres"

The protagonist, Lee Waite, in the short story "Sixty Acres" is faced with making two important decisions. The first crucial decision Lee Waite is faced with is whether or not he should investigate the current situation, unwanted hunters, on his property. The second decision he is faced with is, during the situation, how should he treat the hunters after they have broken the law.

After Lee Waite, makes up his mind on what to do, his final decisions reveal parts of his true identity. It illustrates that he is protective, caring, and thoughtful. His protectiveness is shown when he risks his live to save his family, by deciding to search for the unwelcomed hunters on the outskirts of his property.  However, his thoughtfulness and kindness is displayed when he decides to let the young, innocent hunters off with a warning. 

A personal decision that I have been pondering for a while now, and I've just recently made up my mind about, is where I will be attending high school next year. I had many options to choose from, but I was finally able to narrow it down to one school, the one that I know I will be able to do my best, both academically and socially. The school that I have chosen to attend, reveals my identity by showing my interests and where I feel like I will fit in.
