A Civil Action

A way to find self would be to find what you believe and and fight for it.  John's character, at first, didn't truly find himself.  When he began to work on the case, he started to feel strongly towards the families and the environment.  John truly wanted to make a difference.  Even though his firm was failing, John did all he could in his power to do the right thing, and save the citizens and the town.  By taking this case, John was able to find out what he cares about, which helped him find self.
