Theme

It is the individuals right to

reject the rules of society.

God has a higher authority

than any government.

Family should be honored

above all other
relationships.

Stubborn behavior is
unwise.

Women and men should be

equal because women can
be just as brave as men.

Government should be a
democracy; one person
ruling can lead to a citys
downfall.

It is important to protest
for justice.

For god hates utterly The bray of

bragging tongues: and when he
beheld their smiling Their
swagger of golden helms, The
frown of his thunder blasted.
His own brother traitor or not and
equal in blood.
