The protagonist Lee Waite, in the short story "60 Acres" by Raymond Carver is faced with making two important decisions. One being to let the kids go even though they were hunting on his land. And two, to decide to lease the property even though it's a reservation.
Those two decisions, although one being small, show a lot about the character and how he would act in other situations. The first decision shows that he cares about kids but is also very mysterious and reclusive. He acted the entire time like wanting to kill them or shoot at them, yet his real intentions were to always let them go. The second decision really shows how a property he once loved and cared about, has just become a trouble and how money and feeding his family are just more important to him than sentimental value. A decision that has changed me has been my decision to do what has always interested me and choose engineering as my elective for seventh grade which will change my life forever because now I can finally apply my knowledge of science to real life.
