        or lack thereof, affect them?
    - What can I do to help social justice prevail?

2.) Define the following character roles - Victim, Bystander, Ally, and Perpetrator. 

3.) Read Valediction now. Apply these roles to characters in Valediction, use summary or direct quotes from the story to support your answers.

4.) Answer these questions based off of Valediction.
     - Why might the characters be playing these roles? Ex. What is the bystander afraid of? What is
        the Perpetrator gaining from the situation?
