His imaginings are so vivid, Tim feels like he has to make a decision under the scrutiny of everyone he has ever known, or will know. And he cannot do it. Even as he sees the innocent lives that he will inevitably take if he chooses to stay and fight, still he cannot take the embarrassment of running away. Finally admitting it to himself, Tim thinks, “Embarrassment. That’s all it was.” (1016). Tim thought that he could make the decision to save himself, but he cares too much about what the world thinks about him.

In the beginning, we are given an abundance of details to show that Terry wants to know what’s wrong with his Dad. In the text it states “When it first started, Terry had asked his mother in private what it was, what was causing the strange behaviour ‘It's from the war,’ his mother had said. ‘The doctors at the veterans’ hospital call it the Vietnam syndrome.’ ‘Will it go away?’ ‘They don’t know. Sometimes it goes away. Sometimes it doesn't. They are trying to help him. ‘But what happened? What actually caused it?’ ‘I told you, Vietnam’. ‘But there had to be something,’ Terry persisted. ‘Something made him like that. Not just Vietnam. Billy’s father was there, and he doesn’t act that way.’ ‘That’s enough questions,’ his mother said sternly. ‘He doesn’t talk about it, and I don’t ask. Neither will you. Do you understand?’ ‘But, Mom.’ ‘That’s enough.’, ” this dialogue from the text shows’ us that Terry wants to know what’s wrong with his Father and he is worried about him.

Christopher chooses to reason with his father's promise because he knows that it would be the right thing to do to search for the murderer. The way that Christopher reasons his promise are too literal and proves that not every kid can keep a promise; it is normal for one to find ways of making decisions. Before entering his father's room to find his book, he knows his dad would get angry if he messes with his stuff and resolves to placing things back to where they were as to not make him angry. He considers his actions as being wrong, but in the process finds letters from his mother and thought it appropriator to take a few because they were addressed for
