Black Boy Eighth Response

Subservience, the literal meaning is complete obedience to someone else. I believe that subservience is necessary in life, but not all the time. Being obedient is not something to be ashamed of, but sometimes when you just can't agree with something, you fight for your beliefs. The same goes for Richard. Richard needs to be subservient to gain money to get to the north, but he also is a pretty independent person who holds his beliefs over everything else. With his attitude he has what you could call the perfect balance of one's beliefs and subservience.
