They never stopped the bullying on Ernie .They never stopped the interference on Ernie .They never let him come to the narrator 's home .They never took him out like they promised .
Why does the narrator have guilt about Ernie ?
As I listened to Ernie 's story I found myself feeling some guilt . I ' ve promised to take someone hunting a time or two where I let something interfere with it . I guess I did n't think about how big an impact it could end up having on that person 's life .
