"But why did he do it?" That question, many of us ask in a lifetime to understand the meaning behind the actions of what a person has done. Mrs. Kittredge had to make an important decision that could have impacted two friends in the story, “Cover-ups”. Also, in “Good Guys Always Win” the character Good Guy also has a decision to make that could impact his life on how people could perceive in such a way that to him would be horrible. Who had the more difficult choice, is in a way hard to make a selection, along with trying to know if the person did make the right decision is also hard to understand.
