I decided that she would be a good person to do because I thought I already knew a lot of information about her. I easily found…

The overall theme of Go Set a Watchman, “Don’t be afraid to stand up for your own beliefs, no matter the cost,” is supported by the character analyses and conflicts in the story.

This is a big step for some of the men, who have lived most of their lives hiding under the bed in fear. Some of the men may not express it, but they all have been longing to stand up for something. When they could stand up against Mapes and Fix, they found it as the perfect opportunity. In the society that they live in, African Americans get almost no say in what happens.

the law. Public duty is when we have to do what’s good for the public by getting rid of wrong laws.

There is no point in following…

The National Anthem is a way to show respect for a country. But it should always be respected, even if a person starts disrespecting the National Anthem.
