(136 words) Moral choice is a conscious decision made by a person almost every day. He accepts it, guided by his values, beliefs, and conscience.
In the text of Shima, we see how a timid boy, obeying a power girl in her unbridled whims, unexpectedly even for himself performs a real male act - he throws his stomach on the bomb, pushing his girlfriend away. Gosha makes the right choice, while Vera in this situation is his exact opposite, because she endangered both of them. The heroic act of the boy characterizes him as a brave man, whom Gosh did not seem to be at the beginning of the story.
An example of a similar situation can also be seen in the novel by A.S. Pushkin's “Captain's Daughter”. When Grinev had a choice - to swear allegiance to Pugachev or die, the hero was not afraid and was ready to go to death, remaining faithful to his country.
Summing up, we can conclude that moral choice directly reflects the character of a person and his moral values.
Life example: Once my grandmother told me a story about my great-grandmother, who died before my birth. She ended up in Nazi-occupied territory. One of them broke into the house and tried to take possession of it, offering food in return. Although her children did not see sugar even in the pictures, a proud woman broke free and ran into the forest, entrusting the kids to a neighbor. Her choice was right: she was waiting for her husband from the war.
Media example: Recently, I read a story about how a stranger saved a woman with a child who hovered over a cliff in a car. The car skidded, and if the husband managed to get out in time, the wife and the baby physically could not do this. A man passed by, and without hesitation he stopped and helped the father of the family pull out the family. Such a choice was made by a completely stranger, it was very unexpected and bold.
History example: Defender of the Brest Fortress, Umatgirey Artaganovich Barkhanoev held his defenses even when most Soviet soldiers were dead. He hid in basements and trenches, going out at night and killing the Nazis. When he was finally caught, even the enemies saluted him and buried him with all military honors. They were struck by the courage and devotion of this man. His choice is truly amazing.
