Essay on Bravery and Cowardice in Private Peaceful
Essay on Bravery and Cowardice (Private Peaceful)
In this essay I’ll be discussing the topic of bravery and cowardice and also stating whether or not Tommo and all the other characters are cowards or brave.
Throughout Novel there are many examples of bravery and cowardice and is compared to many acts of bravery; as a result, as soon as you’ve read an act bravery the author chose to write an act of cowardice to balance it out such as when Charlie displays courage as he protects his younger brother from bullies and corporal punishment such as the colonel and his sergeant. This obviously shows bravery.
Another way to show Charlie’s bravery is when he disobeyed a direct order, but he did so in order to protect his comrade, Tommy and also because he knew it was suicidal order ( because of the Germans using equipment, that as soon as they get to the front line they would be killed). Furthermore, Charlie is not given a chance to present his side of the story. Ultimately, the negligence of the chain-of-command resulted in the death of an innocent soldier. But even at the end you may argue he was still showing bravery by not shivering: to show he was week, wanting to see the bullets coming towards him rather than putting the hood on, that the guards persisted he had on (maybe they showing cowardice) Big Joe is a symbol of innocence that Charlie takes comfort in before his pending execution, he thinks about him by singing oranges and lemons before his death rather than pitying himself because he knew he wasn’t a coward regardless to what his sergeant or anyone else had said.
It was brave of Tommo to reveal his secret to Charlie, as Charlie had no clue how his father’s death really happened. Tommo proves to be brave by telling Charlie his biggest secret and it was obviously hard telling the truth to his brother as Charlie never knew the truth. All his actions prove him to be someone we should look up to. It was very brave of Tommo to tell Charlie as he had dreams
