True Grit and Grits Worth

1. True Grit is clearly set in a place with no boundaries. Mattie, Roster and Chaney all have at least one thing in common, a need for no set place or time. In this story there aren’t many rules or regulations, or not many followed rules or regulations at least. You see, there is a difference between dong what’s right or just and doing what you are supposed to. What’s right is always a good thing but usually gets you into trouble. However, doing what you are supposed to may save you from trouble but do no good for others. For rooster he basically follows no laws, roams around and protects people, and sets justice strait. Chaney on the other hand uses this lack of boundaries to basically become a nomadic trouble maker traveling from place to place stealing and running from justice or the law. Such as how if there were stricter boundaries he quite possibly could not have killed Frank Ross and the State Senator of Texas. Mattie is different and similar to both Rooster and Chaney. Mattie needs this expanse of time and space to fulfill her sense of independence. Mattie doesn’t feel free confined in a civilized society and loves her freedom. She doesn’t like using manners and dislikes being judged by those in society.
