Franklin says, “I employed found the difficulty of obtaining good and breaking bad habits in the other points of vice and virtue, have given up the struggle, and concluded that “a speckled ax was best” (116). Franklin is saying that a speckled ax was best because sometimes perfection isn’t always the best. This represents that we have the choice to choose how much we want to change.
While assuming JIB to be true, Shelton wages war on the government and by extension those who support it. He views this as a last resort, since he watched all the other non-violent options fail him.
