Bravery is not inherent, it is rather acquired from the circumstances or situation faced in the life. People face lot of problems in their lives and to cope with those situations and move in with one's life is the sheer example of being brave.  The same has been depicted by both the authors in their respective books.

In the story ”Thank You, M’am” Mrs. Jones did not live the life she had hoped for as a child, because of her troubled past she wants to show Roger a better life. Mrs. Jones is a lonely woman who needs someone to help and show kindness to.

We see some similarities on tone but it's also

In today’s society the majority of the crimes are still being committed by people who have possessed a firearm that has been obtained illegally or without proper permits.
