    In every good story, you always have your hero or main character who tries to achieve his or her goal, but the villain or antagonist has some reason to stop them from achieving it. Finally, a bystander is always watching this conflict go down and has nothing to say about it and just goes on with their life because they don’t have to worry about it. In the books: Romeo and Juliet, And Then There Were None, and To Kill a Mockingbird, the characters in their respected books all show the theme of…
