What Does Bravery Mean To Be Brave

This movie is told from Augusten Burroughs' point of view of his childhood. He was very close to his mother; he skipped school to stay with her. To him he seemed to have an ordinary life. His house was very clean and he would polish things because he liked it so clean. His mother Deidre Burroughs, who has gone insane after her divorce from his father, gives him up for adoption to her psychiatrist, Dr. Finch. She comes to their house quite often throughout the movie and asks why he spends so much time with them.

In his writing, Carter first explains what he means by honesty by giving his definition and then Sissela

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” ~ Winston Churchill. This quote defines what it is to be courageous, to be courageous is to persevere even if you know you will fail. This kind of courage is the courage which both Harold Crick in Stranger Than Fiction and Jean Louise “Scout” Finch in To Kill A Mockingbird. In Stranger Than Fiction, an IRS agent, Harold Crick, with a monotonous life learns that you must not only survive, but you must truly live. This lesson is taught through a series of events that lead to his breaking out of his shell and truly living his life. The events are preliminarily put into action through Harold hearing the voice of the author of a book about his life. In To Kill A Mockingbird, a tomboyish six-year-old, Jean Louise “Scout” Finch, discovers the true meaning of camaraderie and bravery. Her friendships are strong but her definition of courage is flawed. In the end, she realizes a great truth, that to really know someone, you have to imagine yourself in their shoes. Courage is important to these two characters, as they both discover what it really means to be brave and what the true definition of courage is. Courage is not always outspoken, sometimes courage is knowing that you will fail, but trying and failing anyway and then accepting your failure.

“The Life You Save May Be Your Own”, is a story which reflects on each and every one of us. The main themes expressed in this story are corruption, the lost innocence, and how we become aware of our errors yet seldom do much to correct ourselves. This final theme is best shown through Mr. Shifflets actions. Mrs. Crater is a great example of the first theme mentioned. Even though she had just met a stranger, after listening to him and his beliefs for a short while, she let him into her home, but for what reasons? Was it an act of kindness? No, it was clearly an act of selfishness. She used Mr. Shifflets skills as a carpenter to fix her home, and the car, and used her own daughter to pull him in. Those actions are the epitome of greed and corruption. Mrs. Carters daughter, Lucynell, is the savior, the “angle of Gawd”, as referred to in the story, and is a great symbol used by the author, Flannery O’Connor, to express the purity and innocence we have in ourselves, which tends to be lost through the corruption.

Overall, this was a good book to read. DJ’s struggle with her injury as an athlete is relatable to myself. If I were to suffer an injury I would also feel miserable. Her determination to stay positive during a difficult time was an inspiration to read. I would recommend this book to teenagers or young adults. The reason I would recommend it to them is because I believe that they are the most relatable to The Carter House

One aspect being that he wants to help others that they encounter along the way. When they had their camp set up on the beach, one day the thief came and stole all of their possessions. This further prompted the father to go on a hunt to find him with the pistol and have a want to kill him. Once they had found the thief, the father was in rage. The boy pleaded, “Papa please don’t kill the man” (256). Then the father prompted the thief to take off everything and put it in the cart. The thief begged him and told the father “Come on. Listen to the kid” (257). Later, once they father and boy had left, the boy would not stop crying. The boy pleaded to his father, “Just help him, Papa. Just help him” (259). Here was a turning point of the book because the father decided to listen to his son and returned the clothes to the road for the thief to come fetch. The father had to trust the boy and give help to others that actually needed it for once, instead of pretending to be the ‘good

Throughout the book, The Red Pyramid by, Rick Riordan, the main character, Carter, changed over the course of the book due to his new found powers that led to a whole other world.

"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.

Carter smiled encouragingly at the class “This is what I like to see!” he said enthusiastically as he twirled the marker in his hand. “So, with all of these definitions of perfection on the board, can we as a collective strive for all of these,” he began walking around the room “like being standing up for the right thing or being kind, despite the deep flaws of society?” The man stopped at my desk and looked down at me with a grin. “Ayesha!” he said, tapping my notebook “I haven’t heard from you yet. What’s on your mind?” I felt a dozen pairs of eyes on me as I rapidly racked my brain for any answer I could think of.

What Carter has done with her story has changed it from an Aphrodite tale into a Hera and Zeus story. Within the story of The Snow Child, the queen has become a
