A situation of justice found in my novel Shoeless Joe is when Shoeless Joe Jackson appears in left field of Ray's baseball diamond. This is a situation with justice because earlier in the book a promise was made by a mysterious announcer. "If you build it, he will come." (Kinsella 3). That promise was fulfilled later when Ray build the left field section of the baseball diamond and Shoeless Joe appeared one night.
The character, Ray, learned that the announcer, whoever or whatever it may be, is telling the truth and Ray should listen to it. I don't believe that there is really anything that can be concluded about justice here, except maybe that promises made should be promises kept. That seems more like a moral lesson in this situation though.
This is a very well thought out blog post. One thing is to commit to a side and not be on the fence about your perspective on the justice or in justice.
