Independent Reading: Choices (Prompt # 13, Chapter 4)

The choices that the main character made were interesting. They seemed to have been completely justified in his own mind. He seemed to have made them without regret, and without hesitation. He did not seem to want pity, because according to others, he was brilliant. The biggest choice that was made by the main character, Lee Stringer, was that to go live on the streets, and to be free of obligation. It was this choice, the author seems to justify in a conversation on page 50.
"I tell him I am no less happy now than I was then... I tell him that I don't find living on the streets a major inconvenience."
This quote was taken out of a conversation between Lee Stringer and his former boss. The conversation was set around values, and the choices made by Lee. Lee did his best to explain that, despite the fact that the he was currently living on the streets, it was a choice, and one that he did not regret making. The main character goes on to explain that his new lifestyle was one without remorse. That the new life he led, allowed him to face new challenges to surviving the day. The main character explained that he believed himself to be a surviver; making money, and living in new ways.
