Bullet in the Brain!

I thought that Bullet in the Brain was a sad story. Throughout the story I thought that Anders was very rude and cynical. But when you hear about all the things that he didn't even think of before he died it made me feel really sad and sorry for him. Right when the robbers came in to the bank he didn't even seem phased by how his actions of being so arrogant could affect the other people in the bank. Anders could have lived if he would have just kept quite but instead he had to run his mouth and in the end it got him killed. I think it is sad how much it seemed like he didn't care if he lived or not. He had a daughter to live for and think of, and he also had people in his life that he cared about but was too selfish to remember them before he died. I did feel bad for him though because I feel like his life didn't go exactly how he might have wanted it to turn out and that is easy for anyone to relate to.
