“’The Bass, the River, and Shelia Mant’ compared to “I’m Gonna Miss Her.”

"The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant" compares to Brad Paisley's song "I'm Gonna Miss Her" in some ways. The narrator in the story chose Sheila over the fish he had hooked on the line. In the song the man chose the fish over the girl and he regreted that he chose the fish. In the story the fourteen year old boy choses the girl over the fish and he regreted that he chose the girl over the fish. For example in "I'm Gonna Miss Her" in his line he states, "That I'm gonna miss her. " This seems that he should of chose her over the fish. In the story, Sheila says that shes going to get a ride home from another boy. For example, the boy cuts his line loose, but when Sheila told him that he said he would never make the same mistake again. Both the story and the song show that their isn't just one right decision.
