    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…

    After scrolling through Edward Hirsch’s chapters of “How to Read a Poem (and Fall in Love it Poetry,” the section that resonated with me the most was “The Immense Intimacy, The Intimate Immensity.” The way in which Hirsch describes the experience of reading poetry felt like poetry itself. Hirsch’s introduction reads, “The physical life wants the spirit. I know this because I hear it in the words, because when I liberate the message in the bottle a physical—a spiritual—urgency pulses through the arranged text. It is as if the spirit grows in my hands. Or the words rise in the air” (1). Immediately, I thought of Maya Angelou’s poem “Still Like Air I Rise.” Angelou’s poem has always been one of my favorites. I have always said it is my favorite…
