How Do Choices Affect Paul's Life

How can others choices impact you? Choices are decisions made by a human, it can be for their good or it can make things worst. Those can not only impact them but it can make thing impact you in a good or bad way too. Paul’s family’s choices impact Paul by making him legally blind, Paul hating himself, and Paul not having a good relationship with his dad.

Paul’s brother, Erik Fisher, made the choice of helping his friend paint Paul’s eyes. “And I remembered Erik’s fingers prying my eyelids open while Vincent Castor sprayed white paint into them” (263-264). Erik and Vincent made this choice because they had spray painted a wall and thought Paul told on them while he was innocent. This impacted Paul’s life because after they went to the hospital the doctors told Mr. and Mrs. Fisher that their son, Paul, will lose his peripheral vision and that he will also become legally blind. This had made Paul’s life more difficult because there were times when he had trouble perceiving.
and Mrs. Fisher made the choice of lying to Paul by telling him that he had stared at a solar eclipse for too long. “We wanted to find a way to keep you from always hating your brother” (265). This choice had made it challenging for Paul to trust his parents. “So you figured it would be better if I just hated myself” (265). This had impacted Paul’s self-concept by making Paul hate himself because he thought that he was stupid to stare at a solar eclipse and ruin his eyes. Mr. and Mrs. Fisher should have told Paul the truth from the beginning so Paul would not have hated himself for about 13
