The theme of this unit is "Consequences of Choice". Please answer the following three questions as they pertain to the short story, "Brother Dear" by Bernice Friesen.
How can a person’s decisions and actions change his/her life?
How do the decisions and actions of characters reveal their personalities?
How do decisions, actions, and consequences vary depending on the different perspectives of the people involved?
Make sure you are writing in complete sentences and that your work is error free!
his or her actions relay on there whole life if a person was was a serial killer compared to a church by those actions towards what they do are totally different.
around the same concept when someone is a serial killer they are going to be way more aggressive then a church boy that prays to god all the time and is really kind and sweet.
there actions are the biggest thing if someone was to run around with a knife in their hand people will say that that guy is insane compared to someone who will walk around with cotton candy and everybody loves them because they want some for themselves.

A persons decisions and actions can change a persons life because if someone were to say no or yes to something they did want to do they would either do somthing wrong or do somthing right. the characters reveal there personalities by showing what they do in their lifes they work or go to school. decisions and actions and consequences can be wrong with the wrong people but could be good with the good people wrong people can make you do the wrong things in life but the good people can make you do good things in life.

Some decisions that people make can have a huge impact on their life in the future or in the present, like choosing to do well in school and go to collage will have a positive impact on your future where as if you don't do so well and don't have any future plans it will most likely will not. In Bother Dear Greg chose not to take his final exam which lead him to fail the class, his decision led him to have a negative relationship with his father, he may not get accepted to school again because he now has a negative record. We can see from Greg's decisions that he's not that into school since he was failing his class than decided not to take his exam. Sharlene's decisions (to travel Europe and learn new languages) shows that she is eager to try new things. Greg thinks his decisions are going to have a positive impact on his fututre (other wise he will not have done it) but his dad on the other hand strongly disagrees with him.

If someone was having a bad life like doing drugs and everything like that, they could turn it around and get a job and be sucessfull in life. Like for sharlen she could get a job and do what she wants instead of what her dad wants.
Sharlen wants to travel but her dad wants her to go to collage. Her personality is kinda like she does what she wants.
The actions of people in Brother dear the dad wants all the kids to be sucessful in life but they all want to do there own thing but the only kid that did do what the dad wanted wasDennis but he is very sucessful but sharlen is telling Greg do to what he wants in life.

2.Because it shows what kinds of choices they make and the type of person they are.1. The choices you make all ways have consequences like maybe going to college for a major its a big choice to make because their will be consequences. 3.The choices
you make will be with you forever from making a good decision to a bad one and it all comes down to anger making you do things you dont really want to do.

1. Your desictions and choices decide how your life will turn out by things like education and working. If you try hard in both and do well in them, you are more likely to get a better job, than somone who did not.
2. When you first just hear a charactors name, you have no idea how they act or who there personality is, but as soon as they start acting there own actions, you know a little more about who they are.
3. People have diffrent opinions about what is happening in diffrent parts of the story. Most charactors will take someones side, and that is enough to change someones point of view, and give them options on who to think is right in the story.

1. A persons decisions can change the their life by how they look at different situations. For example in brother dear greg makes his own decisions to become something his dad doesnt want him to be, and it changes his relationship with his family forever.
2. The actions made by characters reveal their personalities by the way they make their decisions in the story. For example when greg makes the decision to quit school and become a tree planter it shows that in his personality he cares more for the environment then schooling maybe.
3. Decisions, actions,and consequences vary depending on a different persepctive because everyone takes situations differently. For example in brother dear when greg and his dad were fighting, his dad was mad at the fact that he quit schooling and all the bad things he has done. But greg knows that he is making a difference in the world from being a tree planter and he knows that his dad wouldnt appreciate it.

- Sharlen's character made the decision of bugging her brother effected it latter on in the story. Greg's decision on missing out on the exam he had to do effected him latter in the story. Because of his decision of not being able to make it, it caused his dad to become really mad at him.
-Sharlen's decisions show her personalitie is a loving sister, who loves to bug her brother, whom she may have not or doesn't see very often. Greg's decision's shwo that he is a independent person, who wishes to do what he wants to do in the future rather then do what his father wishes him to do.
- The decisions, actions, and consequences depend on the people involved because like in the story the dad wanted Greg to go to school and become something great, when he tells his dad he is not going to be going back to school his dad gets mad. While Sharlen talks to his sister about it he says if you were to do it dad wouldnt care cause he likes you more. This action all depends on the person.

1. A persons decisions and actions can change his/her life in a lot of ways. It could change their life positively or negitively. For example, a person could decide to steal someones wallet from their back pocket and get caught. They could get a criminal record and could maybe stop them from being allowed out of the country. This person will not even be able to explore the world.
2. It can reveal their personality in a way that shows if they are outgoing or shy.
3. They may vary if the person has a history of doing things. You may get more severe consequenses if you have a history of doing related things
3.

1. If you do something you can't go back therefor if you make a bad decision you will have to make up up for it by working hard .
2. Their decisions can tell us what their thinking and their thoughts tell us who they are.
3. The father, Sharlen and Greg have different perspectives so they make different decisions.

1. Greg's life is changed after his decision to drop out of college. Sharlene's life is changed when she realizes she shouldnt be scared to follow her dreams and she decides she's going to do it.
