To most people when they think of the word bravery‚ they think of a superhero or a war hero. The way people look at the definition of bravery will keep changing in the later generations.

People from all over the state and country volunteered and came together

nothing like what it is right at this moment. In “Fahrenheit 451” by Ray Bradbury‚ Guy Montag shows a lot of bravery in what he does. Not only does he show bravery‚ but his wife shows weakness in the story.

Guy shows bravery and courage in the story multiple times. In the book Guy is a fireman. Not the kind of fireman that you and
