Characterization Of The Novel Fearless

Courage isn’t always bravery. Sometimes courage goes unseen. To Kill a Mockingbird, written by Harper Lee, displays different types of courage. It is written from a point of view of a child whose name is Scout growing up in a Southern town with her brother Jem. Their father, Atticus Finch, is defending an African American man named Tom Robinson who is accused of raping Mayella Ewell. The Finches mysterious neighbor in Maycomb County, Arthur Radley, whom the children have never seen until Halloween night, adds to the rising tensions in the town. The book teaches many lessons and sheds light on some of the problems we still have today. One of the lessons it teaches is courage. Courage is standing up for what is right, just like Atticus,

Right after he graduated from high school, in June 1978, Dahmer picked up a hitchhiker named Steven Hicks and took him to his parent’s house where he had currently lived. Jeffrey continue to get the young man drunk, but when Steven tried to leave, Dahmer struck him in the head with a barbell and caused him to die instantly. He cut up the corpse of his first victim and packed the body parts in plastic bags and buried them behind his parent’s home. Dahmer later dug up the remains, crushed the bones with a sledgehammer and scattered them across a wooded ravine. After the killing of Steven Hicks, Jeffrey’s alcohol intake had spun out of Ohio State University after one quarter term. His father ended up remarrying and insisted that his son go join

Everyone looks up to a hero. This can be someone that you look up to or respect. People are always searching for someone that has exceptional qualities, achievements and can perform activities that an ordinary person would find difficult. Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television “family.” But then

Our world suffers with many issues such as racism, sexism, hate and prejudice, and society needs people that are strong enough to take a stand. In Harper Lee’s novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, courage is displayed in several different forms, especially through three courageous characters. Lee introduces the concept of honorable courage through Mrs. Dubose, a woman who demonstrates that real courage comes from within. Another brave character in the novel is Tom Robinson. He shows everyone how difficult it is for a black man to be both honest and kind no matter the situation. The most courageous person would be Atticus Finch. Atticus is an important character that fits into his own definition of what "real courage" is and demonstrates it in numerous ways throughout the novel, as he goes against most people’s beliefs in order to do what he believes is morally right. Through these three brave characters, Lee tries to reshape people's stereotypical view of courage.

In To Kill a Mockingbird, one of Atticus Finch’s most significant qualities, courage, impacts the story. Throughout the book, Harper Lee portrays courage as doing something out of your comfort zone, for the greater good or a good cause. The first example shows how Atticus’s quality of courage impacts the story. Atticus is sitting in front of the jail cell where Tom Robinson, the African-American man he is defending, is being kept. When Mr. Cunningham and the rest of his followers confront Atticus, he stays strong, keeps his ground and doesn’t let anything happen to Tom. The interaction starts with Mr. Cunningham approaching Atticus, “He in there, Mr. Finch? He is, and he’s asleep. Don’t wake him up. In obedience to my father. There followed what I later realized was a sickeningly comic aspect of an unfunny situation: the men talked in near-whispers. You know what we want. Get Aside from the door, Mr. Finch. You can turn around and go home, Walter. Heck Tate’s around somewhere.”(171-172) Atticus stops Mr. Cunningham and his men from harming Tom before his trial. It took courage to stand up to men who are usually cordial with him resulting in Tom not being killed and allowing the trial to continue. In the second example, it shows how Atticus’s actions reflect what how Harper Lee believes courage looks like in everybody. Atticus is brought to a tough decision in whether or whether not to defend Tom Robinson. When Scout asks him about the case and why he decided

A few hours later the scene was cleared almost like nothing happened the only thing left was the stain of his blood left on the sidewalk and many questions about why this happened and everyone was searching for the answers. He was a straight A

"Courage isn't an absence of fear. It's doing what you are afraid to do. It's having the power to let go of the familiar and forge ahead into new territory." ~John Maxwell. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout (Jean Louise Finch), Jem (Jeremy Atticus Finch), and Atticus Finch display acts of valor that contribute, and in some cases encourage their rectitude. Harper Lee demonstrates that acting courageously can lead to an improved, sustained, or newly developed personal integrity.

In the novel The Safest Lies, Kelsey has grown up terrified of the wicked and harmful outside world. Her anxiety is comes from her mother, Mandy, who was kidnapped at the age of seventeen. After not stepping outside of their home since her miraculous escape, Mandy goes missing again one night. With fear being her biggest weakness, Kelsey has to uncover the truth about the dark past in order to find her mother. When writing literature, authors commonly form story elements that follow a particular archetype. An archetype can be any type of character, theme, symbol, situation, or setting that tends to reappear in various genres of writing. Specifically, character archetypes are general models that exhibit the typical emotional patterns and

Have you ever had the courage to stand up among the others? I have chosen two characters from two different books that have represented courage in a great way. The first character is Jonas. Jonas is from the book called The Giver. The Giver is about a twelve year-old having a bunch of pressure on his shoulders by holding all the unneeded and unwanted memories. The second book is known as Fahrenheit 451. This book is about how firefighters are basically in an alternate universe: They start fires instead of stopping them. They start fires but only to burn books. Montag (Main character) does his job with a passion. That is until he actually starts reading them. He then starts to think that he should bring them back into the world. These are the two characters I will be using in my example.

Cedric Anderson walks into Special needs school to drop something off for his wife. He had a concealed gun, in which no body had seen. He immediately goes into her classroom, and upon entering he starts shooting. He targets the teacher, his wife, and shoots six rounds before reloading. He injures 2 and kills his wife, seeming not to target the young kids, but they happened to be in the vicinity.

Courage is strength. Courage is honesty. Courage is standing one’s ground no matter what. Courage is standing up for others. In Harper Lee’s classic novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout and Jem Finch, along with their father Atticus, live in Maycomb County, a small, mainly racist town in Alabama during the Great Depression. The Finch family’s neighbor, Mrs. Dubose, and Atticus display acts of personal courage in the story. Specifically, Mrs. Dubose displays courage in her honesty and strength, and Atticus displays courage in his responses to racism based threats and keeping others safe.

I found Anderson to be one of those people who believes his way is the only way to live. He chronicles that taking illegal drugs taught him character. This is a rather strange way to build character, hard work and helping others is what I was taught by my baby-boomer Protestant parents. He lives in Brooklyn, I believe, and feels that the American’s dream of a “pastoral setting” (the suburbs ) has ruined the entire country. This is a great big land and not everyone wants to or needs to live on top of each other in a city. Yes, Americans have many cars, but my husband and I take public transportation to the city from our suburban home. The author

I like the way the author Sherrilyn Kenyon wrote this book. With every page, I feel like I’m in the story more and more. The characters also helped bring this story to life by having emotions that anyone can relate to. Besides the characters, another thing I liked was the attention grabbing action. In all, I liked the well written story, the easily related emotions, and the intense action packed parts in Invincible.
