  4. Essay Topics • Was “justice” done in this movie? Why or Why not? • Write Mr. Martin’s final letter to his wife. • How did local culture and personalities affect the events in this move • Martin writes, “"Law is a lot more than words you put in a book, or judges or lawyers or sheriffs you hire to carry it out. It's everything people ever have found out about justice and what's right and wrong." What do you think that means and how does it apply to justice?
