Life consists of choices. Life itself is a choice. People make numerous choices a day: whether or not to go to school, study for the test, or even which pair of shoes to wear. Sometimes it is very difficult to decide what course of action to take. Sometimes a specific decision can change one's life forever. This is apparent in both novels "Life of Pi" and "Larry's Party". Beginning with the time of birth until the time of death, people have to make choices everyday on how to achieve the goals in their lives.

They had believed in themselves, and once they achieved they knew there was no limit to what they can do.
