She showed her true level of courage the night she left knowing her grandmother was trying to buy her and her children. After she left her grandmothers she knew she needed to continue without the help of others because she would put herself and her family at great risk. The fact that she left on her own with little to no help from others shows that she had great courage to get what she deserved as a person that was educated and had the ability to work. Along with her gaining and showing a high level of courage, she showed that she was not going to let her fear to control her.

What does it mean to brave? One aspect of bravery for me, is sacrificing everything you have and not being afraid to do anything. Bravery does not mean that a person has no emotion at all. Being brave means that you are afraid, but overcome that fear. Overcoming a specified fear gives a person courage and helps pass an obstacle.

Curt Lemons could handle any war scenario that was thrown at him, however, he hated going to the dentist. When the whole platoon went in for a routine checkup, Curt became overwhelmed and fainted instantly. This tore him apart on this inside as he believed this act was cowardly, as a man should have no problem seeing a dentist. To verify his courage, Curt goes back to the dentist and gets a perfectly good tooth pulled out. This idea of courage that Curt has isn’t real courage, but rather courage as to not look foolish.

Courage is the ability to do something that frightens one. It is one of the recurring and essential themes shown throughout Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird.” Three characters in particular demonstrate their courage and bravery multiple times throughout the story. Most of the characters could be described as courageous and brave, but these three stand out the most. These bold, fearless and valiant characters are Atticus Finch, Boo Radley, and Mrs. Dubose.

Ruthie will leave Fingerbone with Sylvie, burning down the house that she lived in for so long leaving behind her sorrows and her old self; “I did not dare to turn my head to see if the house was burning” (Robinson 212). In Ruthie’s new life, she is more liberated and independent; “I believe it was the crossing of the bridge that changed me finally” (Robinson 215). In the beginning of the novel, Ruthie was a quiet and awkward girl that seeks acceptance from others, but after leaving Fingerbone, she was able to develop into the character that she is now, a drifter that does not seek anything; “Once they begin to look at me like that it is best that I leave” (Robinson

Starbuck goes on to beg Ahab to return to the "wife and child of thy loving, longing, paternal old age," and how he himself desires the "wife and child of his brotherly, sisterly play-fellow youth." (pg 444). At this point in the voyage, all these women and children are simply figures

Courage doesn 't just help you it can also help other people around you too. Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry, Mildred D. Taylor uses Cassie Logan as an example of courage, although she has faced many rough and harsh times she has used courage to overcome them. Cassie faces many challenges but some of the ones that stood out to me were, standing up to the teacher when Little Man did not want his book because of the condition that it was in, standing up for herself at the Mercantile when she was not waited on, and T.J when he was not being so nice to Cassie and the Loganś. Cassie was a very smart and intelligent person. She always wanted to know what was going on because she wanted to know if there was something that she could do to help.

Bravery is the action of being courageous. If you are standing up for what you believe in, you are already winning. “Often, for undaunted courage, fate spares the man it has not already marked." (Raffel. 572-573) Bravery took a major part in this poem.

The shark represents man vs nature throughout the whole story up until the end. From the very beginning of both the film and novel, it starts off looking through the shark’s perspective. The novel’s intro gives some exposition about sharks, including one important definition about anoxia: “Once, if ever, it stopped, it would sink to the bottom of the ocean and die of anoxia” (Benchley 3). This definition not only acts as exposition, but also foreshadows how the shark eventually dies in the end of the novel. After the expository phase of both the movie and novel, the shark attacks its first victim--a drunk woman named Crissy.

Courage can be found where it is least expected. In her book, Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, Mildred Taylor uses Cassie as an example courage. Courage is the ability to do something, even though you are frightened of doing it, which Cassie shows a lot throughout the book. Cassie is a little girl, who is very smart, sassy, and courageous. She stands up for what she believes and helps others that need a voice.

For example, it is impossible for a mongoose to stay frightened for any length of time (para 24). This shows Rikki Tikki has lots of courage in almost anything that is important. He cannot be frightened. This means he has the courage he needs to be brave. Also, Rikki-tikki felt his eyes growing red and hot (when a mongoose’s eyes grow red, he is angry),

The fact that he does not feel the need to seek revenge on the White Whale shows that he understands that it is just another whale and has no special significance. Starbuck most likely believes that vengeance is not for man to take, but for God, and therefore does not seek revenge on the White Whale or the bloodshed of Captain
