Answer 1

Answer:

Justice is one of the important themes of the novel 'The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle'.

Explanation:

In the story 'The True Confessions of  Charlotte Doyle' by 'Avi' is a story about a girl Charlotte whose different experiences in life change her perception about how to judge people and how she wanted to live her life.

The story highlights that justice can mean different for different people. Charlotte’s views are initially influenced  by her father who is a wealthy and protective father. He wants her to be well educated and write a journal a bout her voyage. He thinks that people of lower class should respect higher class people, i.e. they deserve justice more than others.

But Charlotte thinks that justice should be right of all and should not be a privilege for some. When she was wrongly convicted for the crime she did not commit, she experienced how justice becomes privilege for a few because of their high ranks like for Captain Jaggery.
