Question
What can I say to my classmate who posted this:
In the story The Pie, the narrator talks about how he stole a pie. As he got the pie he walked right out with it, I think this is such a memorable moment for the narrator because he realized making these decisions could affect him in life. As he sat and ate the pie that he stole, he realized what could have happened to him if he was caught by the owner or by anyone. I think this is memorable for the narrator because the taste can show who we are as people.
