             The boys" decision of not talking about the incident to anyone till he was in his dead bed to his two sons affected him. He was a passive person. All the boy did was thought about what happened that day to himself for the rest of his life. He made it an inner conflict by holding it inside himself. Maybe he was a person that is true to his words. He kept his promise to the farmer. He did not tell the police nor did he tell anyone about that day.

He has a mental illness that could affect his way of thinking. He became disillusioned about accuracy. "He went from one shot a day to two, and then three" (Dobyns 87). He felt like he needed more morphine for his illness each day. .

His discussion haunted him because he didn't know what actually took place after the farmer left him. Is the farmer's wife still alive or are they dead? All the boy ever did was wondered for the rest of his life what the ending was and how his decision could made an impact on the farmer.
