I'm not sure about the rest of you, but when I read the part about Edgar Derby standing up to Howard Campbell, I got a burst of American pride. It makes me proud to live in a country that promotes freedom, and values each others rights. We refuse to allow oppression, and we make it our nationwide goal to teach people the right direction. This chapter also makes me happy to know that there will always people that stand up to oppression, no matter how bad the world is. If tiny, weak, defeated Edgar Derby can stand up to a Nazi officer even though the Nazi is offering to give him food, clothing, and shelter (probably the three things he wants the most), then why can't we all. We are all Americans, and it is our job to oppose oppresion and to promote freedom.
