The bass the river and Sheila Mant BY: W. D. Wetherell

One small decision took me to a really harsh moment and i would like to highlight this is because sometimes we don't think farther than the moment and this is a huge mistake that we make, because each decision has a lot of consequence´s than we don't think about. I was young and we were on a beach were the only way to get in or out was by boat it was 530 when the first group that were the ones that would ride boat and then car left, my mum and my grandmother had a bad experience with the boats so they decided to go on that group and the wanted me to go with them but i thought " is faster by boat, ill just go with my dad, my aunt, my uncle and my cousins" so i said that i would ride the boat, this small decision led me to harsh moments in a boat for almost 5 hours without fuel in the strong sea with some huge problems as the short anchor and the huge waves that each time pushed us into the cliff, or the not service in the radio or the phones. Looking back to this moment i think we were lucky that a small boat came with fuel at almot 11:00 pm.
  This short story is about a boy that likes a older girl, but at the same time he loves fishing, he spends all of his summers in both of them the girl and the fishing.¨i had learned all of her moods¨ - ¨i didn't go anywhere that summer without my fishing rod¨. but after all his effort is made he finds out that both things together wont work when he sees that sheila (the girl) thinks that hi passion (fishing) is stupid and pointless.
This short story can be represented in live in many ways, this is because as we get  older and science we are little we have to take a lot of decisions, small and useless as ¨what candy should i get¨to important big decisions as ¨what is my career going to be¨. at this point in the story the narrator have to decide between fishing or the girl. because no matter what he would try at the end he knew that both of them will not work. This kind of situations are also applied in live, when we get to some decisions most of the times we have an "easy" and a "hard" way, As humans we tend to take or to want to take the easier way; This is why we have to be prepared and have mental strength to take a good decision. At the end of the story the narrator chooses fishing rather than Sheila and i think it was a hard but wise decision. Its hard because he really liked her and tried to impress her and observed her and spend a lot of his time in her, but was wise because his crush over her eventually will be over or if they dated it would not last much because there huge differences, instead the fishing is his passion that he can build that he can improve that he can keep, so i think that he took a good decision
