Michelle made a lot of decisions that were key to the plot of the story. Biggest of all she kept with the decision to keep fighting for survival. Claude made a good point about this; you were given a life so do your best with what you are given don’t throw it away. Another Decision she made was to choose that her friends and boyfriend had given up on her which was not entirely true. Her boyfriend Rob was still in love with her no matter what she looked like. She also decided to put the wig on then take it off, this greatly showed that she was accepting herself knowing people still loved her.
If I were in the shoes of Michelle I would make almost all of the same decisions. I realize that life is a privilege and not a right, so live life to the fullest even when you are down. When my friends would all show up to see me then rapidly disappear I would come up with the same conclusion that they had forgotten all about me unless they continued to show up regularly. As for her decision to take off the wig, I don’t think I could do that. I would just not be able to face the image of myself like that on a daily basis. The decisions we make just go that much further to show that we are humans and we have different values.
