#WritingWonders July 27: Does your MC respect authority or buck it?
Respect it, by and large - because her authorities are so in the sense that respects the Latin roots.
I wrote more about this a while back here:

But the short form is that the local kind of authority is "being, in context, the kind of leader worthy of being followed", which she respects.
Anyone who has to say "respect mah authoritah" obviously has none - and so need not be respected.
