Bravery - Bravery And Courage

The America I believe in, has a military that has fought for our freedom. Our military has fought for years to ensure our safety. Without the military we would be under the rule of an enemy country. The military is especially brave, and we can barely convey they are afraid. Like David Hackworth said, “Bravery is being the only one who knows you’re afraid.” We must be as brave as they are, and give them support. According to the web site army.mil, the military does what they ensure for us, since they acquire honor, integrity, respect, and courage. My uncle, Henry, is a retired veteran, and he has been through war. He stands a highly respected person in the military. I asked him when I was younger why did he join the military. Confidently, he

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” ~ Winston Churchill. This quote defines what it is to be courageous, to be courageous is to persevere even if you know you will fail. This kind of courage is the courage which both Harold Crick in Stranger Than Fiction and Jean Louise “Scout” Finch in To Kill A Mockingbird. In Stranger Than Fiction, an IRS agent, Harold Crick, with a monotonous life learns that you must not only survive, but you must truly live. This lesson is taught through a series of events that lead to his breaking out of his shell and truly living his life. The events are preliminarily put into action through Harold hearing the voice of the author of a book about his life. In To Kill A Mockingbird, a tomboyish six-year-old, Jean Louise “Scout” Finch, discovers the true meaning of camaraderie and bravery. Her friendships are strong but her definition of courage is flawed. In the end, she realizes a great truth, that to really know someone, you have to imagine yourself in their shoes. Courage is important to these two characters, as they both discover what it really means to be brave and what the true definition of courage is. Courage is not always outspoken, sometimes courage is knowing that you will fail, but trying and failing anyway and then accepting your failure.

“They fought together as brothers-in-arms. They died together and now they sleep side by side. To them we have a solemn obligation” (Admiral Chester A. Nimitz). World War 2 was probably one of the most horrific wars to happen on the face of planet Earth, many people were killed such as the Jews. Bravery and courage were demonstrated in this time of war and loose, men fought for their countries to strongly defend them from the outside forces that threatened to destroy them. The Allied Powers consisted of the United States, England, France, The Soviet Union, China, and Canada, whereas the Axis only had three countries on their side Nazi Germany, Italy, and Japan. The world was faced with the possible outcomes, the Allies win and crush the Axis beneath their feet, or the opposite could possibly happen.

From the day we are born, we are expected to do great things. Our parents expect us to become doctors and lawyers or even the next president of the United States. Our teachers expect us to become scientists or the next great American author. Our friends may expect us to become rich and famous. But what do we expect of ourselves?

Using both imagery and tone to establish themes of regret and hope, they delve into the story of wasted days and

Every society has a deep-seated web of beliefs, these beliefs are also known as core values. These core values help keep society in a collaboration if all the individuals involved believe in the same common core values. These core values dictate rules and help individuals distinguish what is right or wrong. In the eyes of a college English class, honesty, courage, empathy, integrity and perseverance are tightly woven into the classes web of beliefs. Courage itself doesn’t dictate what is right from wrong, courage is as fierce as a doubled edged sword, one side contrasting the other; but it is up to the individual to determine its use.
