1. A Serpent never shows cowardice.

4. A Serpent never sheds its skin (its unclear if this is an actual law or just an expectation).
5. No Serpent left for dead (might be the same law as the second one, just said differently).
6. A Serpent Never Betrays his own.
7. In Unity, there is strength(that we know is the last one) .
False, the author just has to put enough details and opinions in the text, the the audience can feel what the author feels. That is called authors purpose.
When John enters the Place of the Gods, he starts to assimilate that all that he was told about the Place of the Gods is not true at all. The Place of the Gods he visits can be seen as a post-apocaliptic version of the city of New York; because of that, the author is placing the reader in a possible future of ourselves. The portrait of New York as a post-apocaliptic city that we must encourage to build again (by the words of John) can be related to the fall of the city (kingdom) of Babylon in the ancient Mesopotamia.
