Harry Houdini Research Paper
Well I think Harry Houdini was a unique and very brave person. He was a very unique person because believed in himself. He believed in himself because he wouldn't let anything get in his way or stop him from getting to being a great magician. And so he escaped to get a better life and become a unique and very brave person. He also became the bravest person because he was unique from the other talented persons.. He was brave because he had some special, unique and brave tricks.
He was a brave person because in the beginning of the article it said “NO prison can hold me; No hand or leg irons or steel locks can shackle me. No ropes or ropes can keep me from my freedom”. This sentence automatically tells me that he is not afraid of anything

    Every day Christians are being martyred because they are being brave and continuing to live out their faith in countries that prohibit it. Often times they are even tortured nearly to death knowing they could be let free if they denounce Christ, yet they stare death in the face and stand up for what they know is right. That is bravery at its finest. “Bravery is a scorner of all things which inspire fear; it looks down upon, challenges, and crushes the powers of terror and all that would drive our freedom under the yoke” (Seneca 4). It takes bravery to do what is right, even in the face of imminent danger. Jesus gives the best representation of bravery when He allowed Himself to be tortured, then crucified. He was scared when he was praying to God in the garden of Gethsemane, so much so He was sweating blood, yet He was brave and took the most painful death, when He could have easily called a legion of angels to come and save Him. Most people run in the face of adversity and fear, yet bravery stand strong for what is right, that is what makes it virtuous.…

    Another character in the novel that demonstrated bravery was Dolphus Raymond. He was brave because he let everyone know that he loves an African American when it wasn’t right in other peoples’ eyes. He says, “They could never, never understand that I live like I do because that’s the way I want to live.” (pg. 268) The reason why he lives this way is because he prefers African Americans. Dolphus Raymond even has mixed children with his wife.

    I think that Harry Houdini did a lot of dangerous things because some people copy his trick so he did harder tricks and he they could not do it. He went inside a milk can and he said people to hold their breath with him 2 minutes pass and they said was he drowning and he went on gasping for breath.He stayed there because he gets money and he does impressive stuff and a lot of people get entertained.And what he did was that he put a lot of needles in his mouth, then he pulled it out and they were tangled up.I know that he is famous because there was an old pocket for sale that had HH it meant Harry Houdini and it costed 8,625 dollars.…

    There are intelligent girls in numerous books that I have read, but to me, only a few stand out. Hermione Granger strikes me as one of these characters. The female protagonist in the Harry Potter series, Hermione Granger, is a hard-working and clever individual.

    How Are Heroes Brave

    Heroes are brave. They put their life on the line to save others. An example of this happened on December 3 when state trooper Michael J. Miles saved an unnamed 3 year old boy from his abductor, Michael Ramirez, who had taken him from his home. After Ramirez escaped the police's tail on him, he ran into the North Carolina forest where “Miles used his knowledge of the area to… approach him on foot” (Hero Trooper Saves 3 Year Old After Amber Alert 1). That is bravery. He put his fears aside so he could save a little boy because he knew that by the time people would come to help it could be too late. Without Miles’ bravery, that little boy might not be alive. Bravery, however, is not the only important quality of a hero.…

People face lot of problems in their lives and to cope with those situations and move in with one's life is the sheer example of being brave.

    Bravery and conscience take many forms, but the general perception of these qualities is a lack of fear in the face of danger, or the willingness to confront danger without regard for one's own life. However, one's life does not need to be at stake in order to be considered brave. Conscience, the ability to distinguish between right and wrong and to act upon that, to do what is right, and what is virtuous, even in the face of opposition, with or without the real or implicit threat of bodily harm, is what truly defines a brave individual. In the stories Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton and Macbeth by William Shakespeare, Ethan Frome followed his conscience and therefore, could be considered a brave individual, while Macbeth was not able to choose between morally right and wrong.…
