Bravery In The Diary Of Anne Frank
How brave would you be if you were in one of these articles? I will be writing about bravery. My three reasons are The Boy in The Striped Pajamas, The Diary of Anne Frank: The Play, and Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl . Bravery is one of the best ways to respond to conflict. I chose bravery because in my three re

My first story that i will be writing about is The Boy in The Striped Pajamas . I chose this story because I think that there is a lot of bravery in this story. For example Bruno goes out to be with Shmuel when he is not supposed to be. Bruno does this because he thinks that the new house is boring and he wants to explore. Shmuel also shows a lot of bravery, he shows a lot more bravery than Bruno. For example Shmuel tells the truth when Lieutenant Kotler asks if he was stealing anything. In paragraph 42, it states “Did you steal something from that fridge?”

There’s bravery in this story but not as much as bravery in The Boy in The Striped Pajamas. For example Mr. Frank had to leave when he didn’t want to. He did not know why he had to leave, he also was not very happy about it. In paragraph 11 it states “I’ve come to say good-bye… I’m leaving here, Miep.” Mr. Frank was also brave when he told Miep to burn his papers that he got. For example in paragraph 21 he says “ Burn them. All of them.” In paragraph 23 when he read Anne’s diary he wasn’t sure if he should burn her

    Nelson Mandela once said “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” Harper Lee, the author of To Kill a Mockingbird, uses characters to display courage many times throughout the novel. It's about a white father defending a black man in the racist town of Macomb, Alabama, in the 1930's. I found a few examples of courage for each character that stood out to me most. Atticus, Scout, and Boo Radley. First, a brave, hardworking, single parent, Atticus Finch. He first shows courage when he shoots a mad dog to protect his family when he hasn't touched a gun in over thirty years. Another character in the story, Miss Maudie, explains “I guess he put down his gun when he reilized god gave him an unfair advantage over most living things...” Another courages thing Atticus does, is standing up for…

    When I was a child, my favorite movie was The Wizard of Oz. Out of all of Dorothy’s friends, the Cowardly Lion was probably my least favorite.

Courage is something I always felt I had within, but it was confirmed within myself when my school hit major news over racial issues.…
