 Which statement best describes how Read changes throughout the story?
It's not so much the decisions a man does make that mark him as a Man—but the ones he refrains from making. Illustrated by Schoenherr Read locked the door and drew his pistol. If Umluana noticed Read's gun, he didn't show it. Two men with rifles plunged into the gas; sighing, they fell to the floor in a catatonic trance. "Well, Read, it looks like we're in for a fight.
