Moral of the big story by george loveridge​

Answer 1

Answer:

We should not be so desperate to achieve our aims that we follow the wrong route.

Explanation:

Ernie is a character in the story who wanted to be a successful reporter. In his quest to write the big stories, he flouted the requirement of transparency and honesty in reporting. When John Vollmer a soldier drowned in the river, Ernie disguised himself to obtain information about him from his parents. He was not transparent in his investigation.

A guilty conscience would later make him to stealthily return the photo he collected from the parents of the deceased and run away. His desperation made him not to follow the right guidelines in reporting and the consequence of that was a bad conscience.
