"What does it mean to go against the crowd?"
Going against the crowd could mean a number of different things to each individual. My understanding of going against the crowd is when a person stands out or comes out of the crowd that are either to scared, frightened, threatened or doesn't want to get involved in the argument/protest happening. Going against the crowd could be a good/heroic action or a bad/bully action. An example of this is in the story "going to get a kebab" Where Camina pushes in front of the store line to get a kebab. I believe this action is going against the crowd but in a negative way. No one in the line says anything to Camina. Vincent then goes against the crowd and tells Camina (who is a stranger to him) that what she is doing is wrong and should go to the back of the line like everybody else does. This is a heroic action and is a good way to go against the crowd.
