"people have this spark in them that allows them to jump into scary situations."
Light box
Our light box represents the courage of the four musicians who played the last song on the titanic as it sank. We picked this event because it shows how people can be fearless. Instead of thinking of themselves, they played music so that the passengers could be calm and they attempted to bring peace to a traumatic situation. Each instrument represents one of those 4 musicians who gave their lives to calm the others.
what courage means to me
Courage means to do something out of one’s comfort zone that may be scary and not ordinary. Soldiers are courageous because they do things that a load of people are not willing to do. Being in combat or even training can prove to be scary to certain people. Soldiers go out of their comfort zone in order to do what they believe is right. They continue even though they may be scared. ER Doctors show courage by doing their job. ER Doctors see people at their all-time-lows and have to help people who have seen tragedies and can be horribly injured. They have to help people who may be drenched in blood which may prove traumatic to a human. It may make them uncomfortable and disgusted, but it is a necessary occupation that helps people in need of it. Soldiers and ER Doctors are courageous for their jobs because they are both unordinary and may put them out of their comfort zone which can be scary.
To kill a mockingbird courage thesis
In the novel, To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Mrs. Dubose is the most courageous person because she willingly stopped taking the drugs that she was addicted to. After her death, Atticus talks to his kids referring to Mrs. Dubose. He says: “She said she was going to leave this world beholding to nothing and nobody.” on page 148. This shows that she had the courage and willpower to stop and if she were to die she didn't want anything to hold her back and nothing that she was clinging to to make her happy. She wanted to die whole. This is important and courageous because withdrawal from drugs can harm a person more than help them and it is scary to attempt at stopping. A withdrawal is difficult to go through, but she is brave enough to stop. Another instance with Atticus and his children discussing Mrs. Dubose, on page 149, he attempts to explain what real courage is. “... 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 anyways and you see it through no matter what.” This shows that Mrs. Dubose, was “licked” because she was dying, but she still had the inner strength no other character had and got of drugs. This is important because it is very courageous to be able to have the willpower to do that, even though she is dying and it really won’t matter in the end. Mrs. Dubose really is the most courageous person because of her getting off drugs before she died.
