The quote "When in Rome, do as you done in Milledgeville" by Flannery O'Connor recommends the concept of preserving one's own values and traditions while adjusting to new environments. Rome is viewed as a foreign location, and the expression suggests that one ought to not forget their roots and act in a manner that is true to their identity. The reference of Milledgeville, O'Connor's hometown, serves as a tip that a person must not forget where they originate from, even if they need to get used to brand-new surroundings. The quote is a pointer to always remain true to oneself, even if we find ourselves in unfamiliar places or circumstances.
