Bravery Definition
Many things have a clear definition. However, some do not. What is bravery? Is it that you are willing to physically fight? Is it that you are fearless? To me, bravery is never giving up and standing up for what you believe in despite whatever the circumstances. Giving up is quite easy. Once one little thing goes wrong, many people decide to take the easy way out and quit. One person who shows great bravery in this sense is my mother. When she was young, her father had a stroke and his right side of his body became paralyzed. She was about 7 when her father passed away. She wanted to stay with her immediate family, but she was forced to go live with her aunt until about when she was 17 when she moved to Nuevo Laredo, with no help, to study.

Bravery You're walking down the street, coming home from school, and all of a sudden you hear a shrill voice calling "Help! Help!" You run toward the voice and when you run about a block up the street you smell smoke. You look up and see a house totally engulfed in flames. You see a woman on the lawn of the burning building crying, "Help! Help! My baby's inside!" "Inside the burning building?" you ask. The woman nods her head up and down. You tell her not to worry, that you'll save her baby. You run inside. Heat surrounds you. Your eyes sting and you can hardly breathe with all of the smoke, but you keep progressing because you know that you've got to save that baby. You make your way up the stairs, flames jumping at you...show more content...
At the beginning of the play the murderer, who happens to be the narrator, tells how he went about murdering a man with an "evil vulture eye." He insists that he was really only destroying the eye, that he only killed the man to rid himself of the dreaded gaping eyeball that had been haunting him. So, the way that I see it is that the narrator is trying to convince himself that he was brave enough to finally rid himself of the haunting eye that he may have been genuinely afraid of. What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word brave? Do you think about a superhero, or maybe a soldier that fights for our country? Bravery is the ability to face danger, fear or pain. Bravery is the quality of a person who displays courage and fearlessness in the face of danger. Such qualities show splendor and magnificence in a person. Fear and terror sometimes hinder the determination someone can show. Overcoming this fear is what portrays bravery. The boldest of individuals is the one who abides by his or her conscience. In Night the main character Ellie Weisel whom is also the author went through a dreadful struggle in a concentration camp. Through all the hardships, he obeyed his conscience and never abandoned his dad and he also managed to maintain his faith. In To Kill a Mocking bird by Harper Lee a different type of bravery is shown, Scout and Jem have to face a town that thinks their Get more content
To get to these amazing innovations such as electricity, code breaking, and equality, a risk of humiliation, and fear was needed to overcome: hence the word bravery. Whether it may be simply trying a new foreign food or dictating a new set of thinking to an entire country, bravery is the reason why I am eager to try new things and fearless to stand for whats morally incorrect. Bravery personally started from walking to the train to and from school everyday to show other young girls that these streets can be made safe with alertness and dignity to oneself. The committee belongs to everyone and with young girls and mothers seeing me walk on the street with nothing bad happening i hope to change the perception of what my neighborhood's reputation is to a safe, diverse cosmopolitan.

For instance in times like these were the threat of separation and disrespect shown towards women and immigrants, fear is in the air. Advocating and speaking up for respect and rights of minorities by attending conferences and respectfully confronting officials and exercising my right to peacefully protest. These actions, while brain storming solutions towards a better future for all will lead to prosperity and safety for my people to follow their own goals and inspire others to speak up for what is wrong and combine minds to fight for moral solutions that will lead to a renaissance of new ideas and a just, respectful

When I was Brave
Everyone has done something that they feel is brave. For some people is might be picking up a spider because your friend is allergic to them, other people might find it to be brave if you tell your teacher that you cheated on a test. Bravery comes in many ways but is still the same thing. Bravery is not when you are fearless but it is when you have to guts and mental strength to overcome those fears. However bravery should not be confused with an absence of common sense. Bravery is when you might have to jump of a cliff with no parachute to save someone. However jumping of a cliff with no safety equipment for fun shows a lack of common sense. Bravery is not to ignore fear but to crush it, and this essay is a story of how I conquered mine.
This event had occurred about three and a half years ago when I had just joined Boy–Scouts. I was just ten years old and I was in the middle of my fifth grade summer vacation. At that time I had gone a campout or a day–hike almost every week. We had to many locations such as Mission Peak, Mount Diablo, Yosemite National park, Pinnacles, and many other beautiful campsites. But, one time we had gone to a new place for a small backpacking hike and to camp over the night. I was very excited and had packed carefully for the spring weather. When the day had finally come I had eagerly gone to the Mission Valley School, and from there we drove to the campsite. Unfortunately the parking lot was full so it was blocked. Because of the block we had to
