Explanation:
Bill Sands's story in My Shadow Ran Fast is an incredible one, and one that defies much of what we expect from someone who faced such an abusive childhood. When Sands died, he died a successful businessman with a family; a bestselling author; and a speaker who tried to reform men in prison. However, at age nineteen, he was serving three consecutive life terms in San Quentin prison.
Throughout the memoir, the idea of choice is constantly presented. Sands speaks to the idea that there is always a move to be made, so to speak—a move that can change our lives for the better. The idea of Sand's "shadow" is symbolic of the possibility of change. As a child, Sands noted that his shadow was himself. His shadow moved with him and reflected him, and it followed his every command. But his shadow was a dark reflection of him. Sands realized at a young age that though he had a dark shadow, and a reflection of himself that could do things that were detrimental to himself, he was in control of that shadow. The shadow became a metaphor for something to keep in control. It reminded Sands that we always have the final say in the decisions we make in our lives.
