Rights, desires, needs and second chance these words came to my mind after reading this story. Personally I think that the writer shows us in this story these themes and I'll start with the most effectible one which is the rights. Any person in the world has the right to live a good life, whatever color one's is or his beliefs, no one has to be treated badly in a society. Unfortunately, the recent events which happened in the world over the last decade showed us completely the opposite. Millions of people were killed and displaced just because their race and beliefs, therefore these actions originally caused the animosity between people. Furthermore, no one knows who the real entity responsible for these events is and what the objectives from doing that.
The second theme is desires and needs, which reminds me in a famous saying "the end justifies the mean. Using amoral methods to accomplish something satisfied ourselves will always be a harmful behaving to someone else. Usually, we do that in a way or another without being aware of whether we really need to do it or it just a desire. Moreover; sometimes we do that without the slightest feeling of guilt toward the other person. It was easily discerned that Roger didn’t think in the consequences of what he would do or how can this effect on him or Mrs. Jones. That’s why we should think carefully before any action we do, as well as we should not let our desires control our needs.
The third theme is the second chance. Giving a second chance to a guilty person sometimes helps him more than fear and punishment, especially if we had the power.
In my opinion the most things that describe the real meaning of second chance is my relationship with God. God always gave us a second chance to enhance our lives, to be good people and it's called forgiveness, God does that by sending us allusions and that what happened with Roger and apparently happened before with Mrs. Jones. She showed her amiable

    Redemption is a black and white subject, one can either achieve it or fail and hold on to their troubled past for life. Redemption is when one admits to and repents for their bad deeds and truly feels sorry, then that person does a good deed to counteract the bad one and evens out their life’s “score”.

    Desires are only based upon what a person wants most, but they do not always truly embody what is most important. Even if a person’s second-order volition desire is based upon good intentions it could be detrimental when decided upon as a first-order desire because it is based on want. In Gary Watson’s “Free Agency” he writes that “‘what one most wants’ may mean either ‘the object of the strongest desire’ or ‘what one most values.’ The problem of free action arises because what one desires may not be what one values”(209). Desires do not lead to what is truly beneficial to a person’s life because they do not accurately evaluate what is valuable in their life. In order for a second-order volition to be the most rewarding, a person’s desires have to be founded upon their values. The values of a man have been formed around a lifetime of experience and are based upon more then what they want. Higher order questions become easily solvable when the desires are formed upon what a person truly values. While people can have many desires, they only truly value certain aspects of their lives, and the desire that is the most important to ones values should be their first-order…

    Let’s consider the chapters on Hedonism and the connection between our pursuit of happiness and the consequential behavior that is then elicited; as well as the natural law theory which persuades followers to behave naturally. In both cases these behaviors were motivated by our understanding of what’s moral and what’s immoral. It’s essential to make the distinction between the theories themselves and the resulting behavior that’s performed.. The discussion of our ethical considerations, however, goes “hand in hand” with our behaviors because without one, it’s impractical to consider the other. These ideas are…

    As she entered the local supermarket, everyone’s actions came to a standstill. They all watched her as she walked down the aisle minding her own business. Their eyes pierced into her dark flesh, discovering the humility that the woman felt as they watched every single one of her moves. The humiliation that she experienced caused her to question how one’s mind could be so immoral to the point where they discriminate people from society because of their skin color. She perpetually wondered what it would be like to be born a different skin color. It was challenging for the young woman to be a part of society without feeling discriminated by others. She longed for the time where color would not create a rift in society and instead would unite people…
