Hope that this is the last one?

"The bitter thing was all the spirit, all the gallantry, was wasted. For even more than inferiors, they accepted and looked forward to being Capped. It was a part of becoming a knight, or of turning from a girl to lady. Thinking of this, I saw how good things could be meaningless in isolation. What value did courage have, without a free and challenging mind to direct it?"

How does this relates to the word freedom? Now that is what I call hard. I think that how this is related to freedom is that they needed a free mind to think of weather to run to the white mountains or get capped. And for this quote, it tells you that Will is struggling to follow which path. The path where the people in the Red Castle follows which is being capped, or follow Ozymandias and go to the White Mountain where freedom is awaiting for him. All Will needs now is a free mind to direct which path he is suppose to follow and so that he would be happy for the rest of his life. But if you read the book, he is stuck with love when he should do something else and continue the journey to the White mountains. Eloise is the reason why Will stayed at the Red Castle and left Beanpole and Henry on their way to the White mountain. I think that one of the reason that this is related to the word freedom is because Will needs a free mind to make up weather or not to leave Eloise or to stay with her.

The second reason why I think that this is related to the word freedom is that the nobles in the quote above are all capped and all mature and stuff so is Jack, Will's best friend, and Eloise. All of them explained how being Capped is good for you because you are all mature and then you can be a real adult. But! You would lose all of your childhood memories. I wouldn't really say you lose all of them but you don't have any feeling of how you felt about all those good, happy memories. Freedom is the path I would take if I was Will. Because do you want to not have feelings to all those good, precious memories that you have for childhood and those memories is all that are funny and you want to remember your friends right? All those sad memories, happy ones, confused ones, the feeling for your first crush and all those kind of stuff. So this relates to freedom because all you need is freedom and what you want or what you need. It is what decision you make. To listen to your parents, or what your heart desires.
