    by Chris Crutcher and I felt that this book really ties into the courage that jk Rowling talks about. In this book‚ the main characters Eric Calhoun and Sarah Byrnes embody the image of courage that JK Rowling mentioned above. They do things that most of us would say that we could do but put under the pressure would craft like tempered glass hitting concrete.

The actual definition of courage is the ability to do something that you know is difficult or dangerous.
