Choices And Decisions In Happy Endings
When we realize what we’ve done, sometimes it can be too late. When that happens it can’t be undone, we are to live with the consequences whether they’re good or bad. The things we do called choices and decisions affect us, some more then others maybe. In the story Happy Endings they all seem make life altering decisions. Some may call it a moment of awakening but when they have this moment of awakening, it’s too late. In this story they have different scenarios. For scenario B Mary is in love with John but John isn’t in love, he simply uses her for his own pleasure and gets what he want’s out of it. For whatever reason Mary see’s something in him that’s worth loving, she thinks “inside John, she thinks, is another John, who is much nicer”.

This time John falls in love with Mary but she doesn’t love him. He explains how much she means to him, but she’s still not interested. She only keeps him around for her entertainment, when she doesn’t get any attention from James. One night James and Mary get high and end up in bed together, John happens to stop by to see Mary. He ends up seeing the two of them in bed together, right then and there was his moment of awakening. His awakening just happened to throw him off the deep end. Not all of them had such a horrific awakening. For Charlie it was at the grand centeral station where he met his father for lunch. His parents had been divorced and he hadn’t seen his father in years. When he saw his father walking, it was like seeing a stranger, someone he no longer knew. Charlie had his awakening when he realized that when he saw his father he saw his “future and doom”. It was a blessing and a curse, there were some qualities that I’m sure he admired about his father but at the same time some things he feared to become.
When he said goodbye to his father it had sounded like that was it. I think that maybe it was Charlie’s way of saying goodbye. It may have been his way of leaving his dad behind, and letting go. I mean he did go without seeing him for three years. Charlie probably figured three years was long enough to figure things
