Everyday by David Levithan
In the book, Everyday by David Levithan, justice was not served. Justice was not served in the book because the main character, A, did not get what they wanted. A wanted to end up with the girl he had fallen in love with, Rhiannon. Justice was definitely not served because by the end of the book, A had to join someone who was trying to corrupt him. Reverend Poole was trying to get A, to join him and free him of the 'devil' inside him. Reverend Poole thinks this because he found out that A, goes from body to body, everyday. The Reverend had someone else inside - He wasn't himself just as many other people weren't either. The person inside the Reverend says something that gets A thinking about how he could really stay with Rhiannon forever. This leads to a bit of a conflict.
In the end A went through all the thinking process to come to one decision; he was going to join in with the Reverend. A really wanted to see if he could stay with Rhiannon forever - Not just see her in a different body, and not having to drive to wherever she was. The only way this would be able to happen would be if he listened and stayed with the Reverend. I don't think justice was served but A made this decision to see what could really give him the happiness he wanted.
In conclusion, A's choice was not one that was justified for him/her. I say this because by the end of the book, we don't really find out if A and Rhiannon do end up together. I feel that it was the right choice to make Rhiannon wait and see if there was a way to stay with her - But A just didn't seem happy about the choice that was made.

This was well-written (as always) and I definitely agree that justice was not served in the end (I also read the book, obviously). The ending was a bit upsetting because of that, don't you think? It wasn't fair that A didn't get to stay with Rhiannon, and he really cared for her. Anyway, you make good points and your organization is really good as well!
