As Uncle Jed is looking at Will’s button collection and saber, they speak of the killing that

was done in the war. Will says to his uncle, “There’s times a man can’t take the easy way

out.” His uncle replies, “That’s right, Will. A man has to do what he believes is right.” He

continues “Your Pa sis what he believed was right when he went to war. And I did what I

believed was right when I didn’t go.” Do you think Uncle Jed’s statement involves his pride? If

so, in what way?
