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

    He showed bravery in many ways throughout the book. The first instance of his bravery is when he is first at the school. They have the students climb to the top of a platform and jump off. Most of the kids that went before were very scared or took a long time to jump. One of the people even jumped and broke their arm. But Werner thought that he needed to impress the people making the selections. He climbed the ladder and jumped off the platform very quickly. Another time that he showed bravery was when he was trapped under the hotel with Volkheimer. He was about to give up trying to fix the radio and trying to get out. But when Volkheimer told him to think of his sister he started to fix the radio. He was brave for doing this is because he was about to give up but he didn’t. Another time he showed bravery was when he heard Etienne over the radio and tried to hide it from Volkheimer and the rest of the people in his company. He was brave for doing this because that goes against his orders and he could be shot for it. But doing that ended up helping him and Volkheimer because the music that Marie played over that radio inspired Volkheimer to get them out from under the…

Growing up with her brilliant yet alcoholic father and free spirited mother, Jeannette had no real option except to learn at a young age to fend for herself and kin, through poverty and misery. However, in spite of the difficulties, Walls managed to display a quality of courage, as John F. Kennedy mentioned in “Profiles In Courage”, “ A man does what he must - in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures..” . Furthermore Walls was able to…

    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. He had gone to ask the Wizard for courage and I didn’t understand why. Others wanted tangible items such as a brain or a heart and yet he wanted courage. I had thought of courage as something that you just dug down and found within yourself when you needed it not something not just a material thing that was necessary to live like a brain or a heart. Courage is something I always felt I had within, but it was confirmed within myself when my school hit major news over racial issues.…
