4.How does Harold rationalize his leaving the bikers in such a dangerous position? What other reasons he might have? Do you think his actions are justified? Discuss.
Harold leaving the bikers in such dangerous position because the bikers can attack him after Harold help the biker. The other reason he might have is if he think about his past. He don’t want to help a person who had disturb him. I think Harold actions are justified because if I was on his shoes, I will think about myself and my family safety. I become selfish for a moment because I have responsible to take care about myself.

5.Comment on the appropriateness and effectiveness of the title.
My comment on the appropriateness and effectiveness of the title is that our past helps us to make decisions about our future. In the story, Harold recalls him past experience as well as memories to make a decision. He had many adversities in his life from being bullied in the school yard to his wife is dying, which were all factors in him deciding wheather or not to save his attackers.
