Question

reread the last two paragraphs of \a walk in the woods.\ the last sliver of sun disappeared as i rounded the corner and approached a pile of dead leaves on the trail ahead. i considered jumping over them. i really did. but i decided against it, and when i stepped on the leaves, it wasnt the sound of their crunching beneath my feet that rang in my ears. it was the harsh clang of a steel trap slamming shut. considering the ending, what theme does the story convey about making decisions? a seemingly minor decision can have major consequences. it can be difficult for people to explain their decisions to others. people often make worse decisions on their own than they do in groups. it is best to trust your instincts when making a decision.
