To What Extent Is David Brave

A piece of evidence that shows courage is the quote “He ain’t done it! He ain’t burnt…” that shows courage because Sarty thinks they are in court because his father burns down barns so he lies for his father. I believe that shows that he is brave because he is willing to lie in front of everybody including the judge just to protect his father. He did what he thought was right at that moment.

David was always a type of person inclined to be melancholy. He was always a religious person. He made sure that he did everything right, because he was afraid of death. He performed all the duties of religion without a true conversion.2

Although both the previous events did put David into an adverse position, the following experience changed David’s outlook on life for the better. Finally there was someone to tell David the true meaning of mankind, Uncle Axel. Uncle Axel tells him to be proud of his telepathic abilities, instead of praying to be what everyone else thinks is the true image. Uncle Axel also changes David's outlook on the true image of man, he explains to him how it's not one's physical features that define him, but what's in his mind.

It’s good to be brave when your an adult because if your afraid all the time, you’ll just keep worrying and won’t get anything done, don’t waste your time being afraid about something. The definition of being brave is to face danger, pain, or trouble. That doesn’t mean you randomly run into the wall because your brave and even if you get hurt when you bump into the wall, that is a big failure of showing bravery. How Dar showed that he was brave is that he fought off a bear and succeeded. If he wasn’t brave enough to do that, his grandmother, Mora, probably would have died, the person who took care of him since his mother died. Another part where he was brave is when he walked into the sacred spooky cave first, before Bowan who is usually always brave. That’s means Bowan is usually mature. A quote from the book, “You go in first,” whispered Bowan so softly that you could barely hear him. Dar walked pass him and ducked into the low cave entrance.” Dar was brave enough to do that. A quote I found was this, “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts” - Winston S.Churcill. That is what bravery is and Dar showed it. It’s being adventurous, dauntless, defiant, spunky, and

As we examine the heroes of the faith outlined for us in the Old Testament, we would be hard pressed to find a more faithful man that King David. After the death of King Saul, David became the King of the Hebrew people. David, who was meek and pious, steadfastly believed in the true God and tried to do His will. He had endured much persecution from Saul and other enemies but did not become bitter, did not lift his hand against Saul, as he was the Lord’s anointed, but placed all his hope in God, and the Lord delivered him from all his enemies.

David was a young shepherd boy who watched over the sheep while feeding and keeping them safe from the lions and bears. While watching the sheep David would spend many moments speaking to God and playing a harp.

However, throughout David’s leadership, there were a few mishaps where he did not always do the right thing. He committed a sin by having an affair with Bathsheba, who was married to her husband Uriah. Also, here performed an unauthorized census, which was motivated by his own pride. In addition, he chose to follow his own heart a lot instead of being a man after God’s heart. Regardless of his flaws, David had a great sensibility of courage, loyalty, faith, being a successful leader, and warrior. For example, David could look someone else’s sins that they may have done, but he could not do the same for himself. Basically, David loved his enemies and respected them, which was not a normal character trait to have. He was always willing to forgive them of their sins even when they typically opposed him.

King David is known as one of the greatest kings that ever lived. He started out as lowly Sheppard boy to become one of the greatest kings of biblical times. Before David became King of Israel he herded his father’s sheep with his life in the fields; and was said to have killed a lion and a bear protecting them. The Old Testament prophet Samuel anointed David to become King Israel while Saul was still the king of Israel; because Saul was the King that the people wanted and he disobeyed God. David raise to fame began with him stepping up to face the giant Philistine Goliath; when King Saul seems to be fear of the giant. Smith (1933) tell us that,

David, on the other hand, is depicted as a character that is lacking brute strength and weaponry. We are told through the voice of Goliath that he is “only a youth, ruddy and handsome in appearance” (1 Samuel 17: 42). It is evident that David is meant to appear as an average kid with no exceedingly superior or spectacular qualities. This simple portrayal of David is significant because it sets in motion the development of realistic empathy from the implied reader towards David. It is important for the implied reader to feel empathetic towards David because even though David kills Goliath in the end, we are meant to view him as a hero, not a murder. Building a connection between the implied reader and David makes this possible.

Jonathan had several heroic characteristics that were displayed during his friendship with David. He was loyal to the Lord even when defying his father's jurisdiction. Jonathan was a person of faith and loyalty. He wielded these characteristic s like no other: he was brave, faithful, humble, and a realist. These qualities would have been superb for the king position he was supposed to receive. However Jonathan's characteristic of common sense led him to reject the offer and follow the will of God.
