I believe they were close to the truth. Their honesty, courtesy, and strength showed all the factors required

You need to embrace the past to open new paths to the future, our legacy is the most important thing. We can learn too much about our ancestors and try to do not make the same mistakes.

Yes I think the character was true to its root. He knows everything about his ancestors and went to the valley for his grandfather so I think he is true to his roots.

I agree that the characters stayed true to their roots. This is very important because in life one needs to know his/her roots to identify with.

I think it's pretentious to not stay true to your roots. Standing opposite a judgemental or unaccepting society is also a feat in itself. It takes courage to stick to what you believe in and this is something I believe all of us should do to the best of our ability.

Definitely, I always face so many challenges with staying true to my culture. But I see it as what makes me unique from others. It is one of the things I am proud of.

I think Tom, Will, and Myra were justified in upholding the traditions of their ancestors. They also didn't come off as extreme, fanatical, or crazy.

I think those characters were justified. Its very important that one stays true to his/her root. That's our original identity.
