Chapter 5 review

The line in the story in which the narrator said can be interpreted many ways. I think what the author means by this is that in life you have many path ways to take like for example the good ones and the bad ones. These paths are taken every day and then disperse into many different trails each time you make a decision. The littlest of decisions you make and have the largest consequences ever. One little change in your life can utterly delineate or portray your character and moral being. You make choices every day that can affect your life forever. You are who you are today because of the decisions you made yesterday. You will be a possibly totally different being the next day due to the paths you chose today. For example if lets say that you are driving and you look at your phone to see who just recently text you or said something about you on social media, that one decision of looking at your phone can decide life or death for you in that moment in time. You could get lucky and not be in a situation where you might be in a car accident, but you never now. When the narrator says that you are "looking at your feet" during your life, I believe that he is just stating that life is what you make of it. He is saying that you need to look at things in an optimistic point of view and to never take things for granted because it all could just disappear in an instant.
