The Theme Of Courage In To Kill A Mockingbird By Harper Lee

Have you ever thought of what courage means? Well, courage means the strength in the face of pain and relief. Courage takes place in this book because of all the circumstances and characters during the novel. Physical courage is shown in this book, when Atticus was standing in the middle of the street, facing a rabid dog armed with a shotgun. This is an impressive action to the children, so now Atticus has to show different types of courage to show that he is strong.

The characters actions that are demonstrated are showing courage because he wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. Atticus, of course shows all kinds of courage. Also, Ms. Maudie shows when she refuses

In most times, people need advice from others because that's how they know there errors and they can fix them or how they can fix their problems just by giving a simple advice and they can do the things better by that advice.

In the events part of this novel, Scout and Jem found items in the knot hole of the radley's tree. This event shows courage because of how they find the items and don't keep them instead they give them to the owner. People like this will have a peaceful life and they won’t be messed by others because if they have courage for other, then people will have courage for them.

In conclusion, another example that showed courage was when Boo radley rescued Jem and Scout because they were stuck inside the house for years then he saw his children being attacked and he went and rescued them too. This was an act of courage because he rescued his children and Boo radley and Jem, from lots of
