Batman, although he may seem childish, is a great example of grit. His parents were shot and killed in an alleyway one night while they were walking home leaving him all alone.

Grit is a term that gets thrown around alot; but rarely do people take time to think about what grit is and how it can help in everyday life. In Charlie Portis's True Grit, Rooster is portrayed as the grittiest character in the book for several reasons. First, he is known for being fearless; next, his relentlessness; and finally, his strength of character.

The Oxford Dictionary defines fearlessness as the "lack of fear" that is just skimming the surface of what it means and takes to be fearless.

Grit and having a growth mindset have been a great asset when it comes to success. The general idea of being gritty is having motivation to push through obstacles despite the difficulty.

The two together are a great package because if an individual had a growth mindset perspective and the drive of being gritty, they will see a challenge and keep going regardless of failure and setback that will lead to accomplishing their desired task instead of giving up.

Melba Beals was certainly full of grit. When she insisted on going back to school after segregationists were trying to keep her out the school, but she still insisted on going back to school to finish her classes and take her final exams. Even, after all, those people told her to get out yet she finished high school with pride. When Melba showed her grit, later on, people started encouraging her more saying she’s doing a great thing for this town (Beals 224). I thought this anecdote was important because it shows an example of how grit is used in the right context.

The Influence of Grit and Growth Mindset in one’s life In Eduardo Briceno’s view “The key to success is not simply effort, focus, or resilience, it is the growth mindset that creates them.” Grit is the quality that enables individuals to work hard enough and stick to their long-term passions and goals.

Rooster Cogburn, Frank Ross and Mattie Ross all show true grit in many diverse ways. In some cases, however, the lack of grit is shown through their actions. The definition of grit is different according to peoples opinions and views. The way I view it is, Rooster is truly the grittiest when he is fighting for someone or something he loves, Frank Ross showed grit by acting out of kindness and concern in risking his life for a good cause, Mattie Ross has moments of strong will-power, but lacks the grit to overcome trials and hardships.
