COURAGE!

1. Courage is the ability to do something that one is afraid of. Courage can be both physical and moral. Physical courage can be seen in times of physical pain, death, loss, or hardship while moral courage is the ability to do the right thing. To be courageous means to do something that you know is difficult for you.  In the western tradition, thoughts of courage have been linked with philosophers such as Aristotle and Aquinas. In the east, Tao Te Ching gave his ideas on courage.

2. The Cowardly Lion is a prominent character in the story of Wizard of Oz. He was portrayed as being scared of everything, even Dorothy’s little dog Toto. Since the Lion was able to stand up against his fears he shows courage. In the movie when the Lion goes inside the Witch’s castle to save Dorothy he is showing an incredible sign of courage because he is doing something that he is afraid of.

3.He had been afraid of fire since the age of 3. He wouldn’t go to bonfires with his friends or let his mom light candles inside the house because the warm, thick air around the fire made him feel overwhelmed. He didn’t like the smell of ash going up his nose or the warm air against his body, but he knew that when he saw that burning building he had to run in and help. So he threw of his jacket and faced his fears. The smoke hit his face and jabbed at his eyes like knives. He couldn’t breathe because the smoke was being shoved down his throat. But he finally got to a little girl in her room, picked her up and carried her out. He had finally faced his fears in the most intense way possible.

4. Feeling courageous is caused by facing your fears. When one finally does something that they have been afraid of for a long time that person will often times feel courageous and as though they can do anything. After finally completing the task that has plagued a person for many years, that individual will most likely feel very confident, happy, and proud of him or herself. After finishing that task, the person will most likely not have a problem doing it again because they are no longer scared.

5. My best friend was so incredibly afraid of Chuckey from Chuckey Cheese’s when we were little that it was hilarious. Everybody would always have their birthday’s there and she would obviously be invited. She would be having such a great time but when Chuckey came out she would run to her dad and start crying. I never understood why she was so scared because Chuckey was always so nice. But finally, when she turned 5 she decided she would have her party at Chuckey Cheese’s. We could sense the fear when it was almost time for Chuckey to come out, but when he finally did, she wasn’t scared. She had a great time with him, and didn’t want Chuckey to leave. She had such a great time that the next year, for her 6th birthday, she had her party at Chuckey Cheese’s again.
