    The lessons that the narrator learns in "The Leap" have to do with the process of making choices in one's life. 

    "Throughout the story the narrator is preoccupied with harbingers, ignored warnings, and signs of impending doom, as well as with the choices that people make to prepare for the future."

    "She couples this theme with that of acceptance of fate, recognizing that individual choices are often lesser evils, and bring with them negative consequences that must be endured."
