Was Bravery Really Brave

Popular culture has shaped our understanding and perception of Native American culture. From Disney to literature has given the picture of the “blood thirsty savage” of the beginning colonialism in the new world to the “Noble Savage,” a trait painted by non-native the West (Landsman and Lewis 184) and this has influenced many non native perceptions. What many outsiders do not see is the struggle Native American have on day to day bases. Each generation of Native American is on a struggle to keep their traditions alive, but to function in school and ultimately graduate.

     Bravery is the mental or moral strength to venture and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty. Fear is what one feels when fighting, knowing that he or she could die. For example, when

Bravery does not measure how big or small the situation might be, but it defines the person who is overcoming their fear. Each

Paulo Coelho said, “Be brave, take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.” (bravery quotes). Many people are too afraid of taking the risk of being brave, but what they do not realize is there missing out on a once in a lifetime experience. Mothers and fathers are brave everyday to keep their family safe. And the same for animals, they are brave every time they want a meal. Taking that risk is always worth it in the end, because nothing can substitute the experience that you had while doing. Bravery is not just an action that a person normally wouldn't do. Rather it's defined as courage, leadership, and being determined.

To have Bravery is sometimes harder than you may think. And to still have bravery when going through horrible situations to obtain certain things that are important to you is incredible. In “NightJohn” by Gary Paulsen, Nightjohn a runaway slave that was captured main goal is to teach slaves to read and write even through harsh times, and he shows to stay strong through the tough times

Stories not only keeps Native American’s culture alive and functioning for future generations, but it also takes form of a “life here for the people,” that one can infer is precious just like a baby to anyone else. Something as simple as storytelling could be seen as worthless in some people’s eyes, but in some cultures it is what gives life to a group of people and should not be taken for granted or seen as something inferior when it deals with their culture. That is why one must accept others for who they are because different cultures deem different things as an important aspect in their daily lives. And offending or disregarding a part of a person's traditions could later create a personal impact in the life of that individual and oneself after the realization that storytelling meant a lot more than it lead

What is courage? Courage is the ability to do something that frightens you. Courage was definitely shown in the Lewis and Clark Expedition, the Finding of Radium by Marie Curie, and the Apollo 13 Act. Everyone has their own kind of courage. Another definition of courage is, to have strength in the face of pain or grief. I think that Lewis and clark showed the most courage.

Putting Yourself Before Others It is important to have bravery because without it you won't be able to get anything done if you are scared. It is hard to be brave sometimes because you don't know what the outcome could be. In NightJohn by Gary Paulsen, NightJohn is a free man who escaped slavery, he is devoted to teaching slaves to read and write when they aren't supposed to know how to, this could get them killed. NightJohn shows bravery by sneaking in the quarters at night and teaching them how to write letters and spell. You need to be brave to take risks.

"People respond to natural disasters with bravery in dangerous situations and compassion for those victims in need." I personal think that in natural disasters people do need to respond with bravery . People that respond with bravery have more time to help themselves and help other people to. People cant be scared of whats going to happen because the more time you take the less time you have to survive. Some people dont understand how to react to a natural disaster situation lets just say that your actions are probably life or death.

“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. History has been written and recorded in the books of modern day time, it’s out there for all of the world to know and see, to remember those who died in the war. What if history was to rewrite itself in all of the pages of those books that are scattered across the face of this planet? D-Day, June 6, 1944, on the beaches

Carter never really had a home to call his as his whole life he pretty much living out of a suitcase. He was always traveling cause his dad was Egyptologist and was always going somewhere else to study new things. Carter never really had the lifestyle Sadie did actually they were like complete opposite as Sadie lived in a house and went to school. Carter was suppose to be homeschooled but the only thing his dad really taught him was about Egypt and things along that line. Carter had a very good relationship with his dad and had a lot of respect for him and listened to everything he taught and told him. When Carter lost his dad it had to of been hard as that has been the person right next to him his whole life. When Carter has a lot of guts to do some of the things he’s done. Carter throughout this book has proven himself to be brave and everyone has seen it besides him. Bravery is a bold word and people who earn to be described that word is people like heros. Carter is definitely a hero too especially to Sadie even though she doesn't like to show it. Being brave is something to be proud of and Carter just hasn't figured it out yet.

How much do you have to sacrifice to be a hero? Rachel Bublitz My Body is a one act futuristic play in which a man, Patrick, applies to the government to have a collar that controls his body removed. In a ploy to regain his self-respect and right to his body, Patrick is faced with a moral dilemma. Arthur Miller’s “Tragedy and the Common Man” claims that tragedy is felt by readers when a character is willing to risk it all by “laying down his life” (267) in order to obtain their rightful position. While Patrick does argue for his right to his body, when he is faced with the possibility of “permanent methods of containment” (Bublitz 331) he ends his fight to reclaim his dignity. Is Patrick still considered a tragic hero even though his bravery was limited? According to Miller’s theory he would not be, however his character allows the audience to reflect on their own coward bravery while he highlights the injustice within the world of the play and reality.

Zofia is 16 years old female, who is has a courage of bravery. One day in class there was a teacher that was bullied by a taller student. The teacher shouted, “ I’M GOING TO CALL YOUR MOTHER!” Later on in that situation, the taller student(ERIK) punched the teacher and laughed, “TRY TO THREATEN ME!” But luckily Zofia split them apart by talking, “This is enough of you guys, please sit down Erik I will call your mother, and whispered to the teacher, “are you ok?” The teacher was very soothed by the calmness of Zofia’s voice. The class started clapping and cheering for her. Some of her classmates even start trying to have their courage of helping to stand against bullying and

Noa Ben Artzi-Pelossof states, “Heroism is about taking an action which represents a breakthrough, and then assuming full responsibility for it, even if it’s a failure.” In other words, people shall take matters into their own hands. When it comes to the topic of heroism, most of us will readily agree that it’s an act of bravery, where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the question of “Do people show fearlessness because they refuse to show that they are actually afraid?” Whereas some are convinced that most people are heroic, others maintain that some people will only help for their own benefit. Heroism is an act of bravery because it has features of fearlessness, courageous, and gallant.

Bravery is when you can stand up to things without a drop of fear in your heart and on the night of March 17th 2015 that 's exactly what I did. It was a calm night the sky was cloudless and the only noise I could hear was laughter. It was St.. Patrick 's day and I decided to stay in for the night.
