Did people understand the short story Sterling’s Decision?

I feel that people understood the story because I did it in a way that was straight and clear in structure. Like the plot- it should be easy to understand the action. For the two characters, Sterling and the little Boy, I used words like pictures to describe their feelings, to tell what they’re thinking. In my opinion people can also picture the settings in the story, like the backside of the mainstreet and the patio. I think that I was successful in my style because the story has got a kind of straight line from the very beginning to the end. The main idea and purpose of the story is to give an example that someone is able to think his whole life over. I think people understand this message after reading the story.
