short sentences

Answer 1

In the story, the author values loyalty to one's country and government the most. This is evident in the Peach Garden Oath where the three brothers pledge to remain loyal to each other, just like the loyalty soldiers should have towards their nation. The theme of loyalty is also reflected in the brothers' unwavering commitment to each other throughout the story. Personally, I agree with the value of duty to protect the weak the most. I believe that it is important to stand up for those who are vulnerable and in need of help, as shown by the brothers' righteous actions in the story.
