    Lizzy, a slave working on a plantation in 1864, showed courage when she makes decisions that could endanger her life. First, she showed courage when Lem, another slave, has been bound to the tree in the middle of a field as punishment by Mr. Joe Haynes, the plantation overseer. She supports Lem by bringing him water. This was courageous because Lizzy knew if she was caught, she would be tortured as Mr. Joe Haynes was doing to Lem. Unfortunately, she was caught and was whipped until Joshua, another slave, tackled Mr. Joe Haynes to save her. All of them knew that if they did not run away from the Glory Field, they would be killed. “‘Go on, girl, before you break everybody’s heart.’ a voice from the darkness said... ‘Don’t turn back’ (a lady said). Lizzy stopped, looked down, took a deep breath, and continued (to walk away from the plantation).” Once again, Lizzy has shown courage by leaving The Glory Field even though it was the only home she had ever known.…

Calpurnia holds her ground and confidently responds, “ ‘They’s my comp’ny’ ” (Lee 119).
