Fish In A Tree Quotes

Bravery is not inherent, it is rather acquired from the circumstances or situation faced in the life.

Almost everyone knows the right things to do. When a bully is picking on a victim, people around them know the right thing to do – stand up for the victim. However, knowing the right thing to do and doing the right thing are two very different things – the difference is courage. This is shown clearly in Ernest Gaines’ novel, A Lesson Before Dying, in Henrik Ibsen’s play, A Doll’s House, and a quote from the movie Hidden Figures. Courage is shown through Grant, Nora, and that “there’s no bathroom for me here” (0:31) from Hidden Figures respectively.

True bravery is when you’re aware that the odds are against you, however, you have the ability to persevere through it.

The outcome may not always be to your advantage, but

"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, To Kill a Mockingbird, a character by the name of Atticus Finch explains to his child “I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.” (128). Atticus is teaching his son an important lesson about courage, while using his own to take on a seemingly impossible task.

The value of courage in the face of adversity is shown in Ender’s Game and To Kill a Mockingbird. The definition of courage is the ability to do something that frightens one. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus shows courage when he is against the mob who is trying to hang Tom Robinson. “A flash of pain fear was going out of his eyes… He put the newspaper down very carefully adjusting its creases with lingering fingers. They were trembling a little.” (Harper Lee pg 152) In this quote Atticus realized that the mob was very dangerous, but he had to protect Tom Robinson. This is where Scout realized how much courage her father had. She saw that he did not back down and looked up to him for that. The author wants to tell the reader to have courage and to stand up for

True courage is expressed by self-sacrifice, as courage is not only defined as being ‘brave’, but by putting yourself before others for a reaching hand. Recalling Harper Lee’s six year old experiences in which courage played a major role in her ages, from an adult perspective in, To Kill a Mockingbird (TKAM), has remained enormously popular since its publication in 1960. During the 1930s it was mainly a prejudicial society, as it took real courage and bravery to do what Atticus, Scout and Jem did through the uneasy circumstance they were faced with; Atticus Finch defending an African American man in court. Jem and Scouts courage and bravery has transformed throughout the novel as they mature, diversifying from the roots of their well astonishing father, Atticus Finch.

People in the world are affected by the environment and their surrounding to react to them. Many characters in the book To Kill a Mockingbird reflect to this. People will respond to being courageous or be a coward when they need to be and they will all react differently. Scout shows courage when she fights Cecil Jacobs. She doesn’t fight like she normally would because she doesn’t want to stoop to the low level where Cecil Jacobs is. She shows cowardice when she decides to stand still when Bob had attacked Jem. In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, the author uses conflict, plot events, and character development to convey the idea that people can be courageous or a coward when they need to be and their reactions will be different to each problem.

J.F. Clarke once said, “The bravest of individuals is the one who obeys his or her conscience.” True bravery is defined through siding with one’s self morals and beliefs even against the disapproval and ridicule of others.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee exhibits the true definition of bravery when Atticus took on the trial and when Dolphus Raymond and Boo Radley make sacrifices in their own lives.

But it took real bravery to see the deeper deficiencies and true damages of his society. One example of this is after Reardan beats Wellpinit in basketball. “I knew that two or three of those Indians might not have eaten breakfast that morning. No food in the house. I knew that seven or eight of those Indians lived with drunken mothers and fathers. I knew that two of those Indians had a father who dealt with crack and meth. I knew two of those Indians had fathers in prison. I knew that none of them was going to college.” This irony leaves Junior very conflicted. He was happy to have won the match but upset because he saw the basketball players for who they were. Many other Indians ignored the facts that more than half of their population had problems with alcohol and almost everyone was in poverty. But Junior has the courage to see his friends and himself in reality. Another example of this is the fact that Rowdy always came to Junior’s house for thanksgiving. Most people would think it was just because they were friends, but Junior knew it was because Rowdy didn’t have a real family, just a drunk abusive father. Sometimes it can be hard to see the bad things about our community, but people with bravery know it helps them pave a better
