What Is The True Courage ？

                                                                      ——Inspiration from To Kill A Mockingbird

When it comes to “courage ”, some believe those who are brave dare to do something frantic such as taking a risk , binging alcohol or eating ,traitorously skipping class ,  working up to the nerve to speak “love” and so on . Some claim those who are brave dare to combating violent crime ——“ an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth ”, when suffering from bully . Others advocate those who are brave fear nothing like the God , even do something others fear . They act like heroes waiting public’s admiration and praise .  

After experiencing this classic novel, the strong power of radiant light of human nature shocks me ; the vivid scene occurs to me and the new concepts crowd into my mind .

What is the true courage ? I have the answers .

The true courage is —— Even though I fear it ,I still exert my energies to do it ,breaking through the primary me .

The true courage is ——Even though I know I will lose ,I still preserve in the light ,sticking to my original heart .

The true courage is ——Even though I encounter to the world’s criticism denigration ,I will still be kind to the world .

Atticus——the father of two kids ,gentled and cultivated ,teeming with sagacity and deliberation . In people’s impression,he is not only a lawyer ,but also a “sharpshooter ”. He had not catch a gun for 30 years while shoot a mad dog which may invite danger for town, under the eyes of the public in some day .

“Well ,did you know he’s the best checker-player in this town ? ”.

“I’d feel mighty comfortable if you did now .”.

“Atticus is a gentleman.” Even his son was astonished .

Unexpectedly , Atticus said that “ I wanted you to see what real courage is ,instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a  gun in his hand .”.

“It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what .You rarely win , but sometimes you do .”

Mrs. Dobose was a morphine addict , she took it as a pain-killer for years and was told that she had only a few months left . The true aim of her asking Jem to read a book for her every day , seen from the outside ,was punishing Jem’s behavior , but in reality ,she would like to conquer the disease , leaving this world beholden to nothing and nobody .

While Jem was reading to her , Mrs. Dobose were concentrated on that alarm clock and was conscious to the last .

As the result , Atticus said “ Mrs. Dubose won , all ninety- eith pouns of her . She died beholden to nothing and nobody ,she was the bravest person I ever knew .”.

From Mrs. Dobose , I am aware of “ the true courage ”can endow us with powerful will and eternal spirit .

The black —— Tom Robinson , always decent ,honest ,kind and hardworking . At ordinary time ,he helped the white woman , Mrs.Ewell for many time . Unfortunately , he was accused of raping Mrs. Ewell . Atticus being Tom’s lawyer ,had  the responsibility for defending Tom.

Owing to severe race discrimination , owing to the family honor, owing to education to two kids ,  Atticus had faced lots of blames ,pressures queries and threats .

“It’s no time to worry . ”. This is Atticus pet phrase .

He defended Tom vigorously ,fighting for equality for the black and setting an excellent example for children . Those insulted words and those threatening bullies were ignored.

In the court , Atticus said , “ Which ,gentleman ,we know is in itself a lie as black as Tom Robinsons’skin , a lie I do not have to point out to you . ”..“But there is on wey in this country in which all men are created equal —— a court .”.

Atticus lost the case but won the justice .

From Atticus , I am aware of “ the true courage ”is speaking up for “justice ” ,no matter what the outside strikes . All common people is drunk only I wake up alone .

Radley —— the eccentric man ,with ugly apperance and strange behavior ; a “ghostly figure ”whom everyone should be kept away from a recluse who closed in the room ; the object children would like to torment ,especially Jem and Scout prefer to making acquaintance with .

However ,it was just the legend of the people .

Such a strange man , silently prepared mysterious gifts for Jem and Scout in the tree hole ; silently covered Scout with the blanket , struggling to save two kids in the murder of Bob Ewell’s .

“He lips parted into a timid smile ,and our neighbor’s image blurred with my sudden tears . ”' Hey Boo' I said .”.

So , Radley was ugly in appearance but gentle in heart .

From Radley , I am aware of “ the true courage ”is that all people are afraid of me , my heart is as kind as a child , protecting others without hesitation .

Under the Atticus’s unconsciously influence and demonstration , Jem and Scout grew up ,became more mature , intelligent percipient and realized what is the true courage .They were exposed to the true world ,in both innocence and experience ,both kindness and cruelty ,both love and hatred ,both humor and pathos .

At first ,Jem was afraid to touch the door of Radley’s family ; Jem impetuously cut the tops off every camellia bush Mrs. Dubuse owned jus because she slashed his father Atticus lawed for niggers and trash .

At first , Scout was unwilling to go to school; Scout split her knuckle to the bone on Francis front teeth because Francis said the same something abusive of Atticus“Nigger –lover ”.

Afterwards , Jem dare to retrieve his pants hung on the fence of Adderley's home during playtime even though he knew that he may be killed as the intruder . Besides ,Jem dare to battle with cheeky Mr.Ewell in night for protecting his sister .  Lastly ,he got his arm bady broken at the elbow .

Afterwards , Scout turned reasonable and clever . When Mr.Cunningham purposely made difficulties for Atticus , Scout could stand anything and helped Atticus go through the trouble so that Mr.Cunningham realized their errors and left .

“I just hope that Jem and Scout come to me for answers instead of listening to the town . ”.That’s Atticus expectation .

From what mentioned above , “ the true courage ”is inside our heart . It can embody “taking responsibility”,“ sticking to one thing ”，“protecting our families”.

Such a test of your humanity ,brilliance of humanity ,the spirit of human .

 How to be a man with true courage ? How to be a righteous man ?

The brave man should embrace wisdom .“You just hold your head high and keep those fists down. No matter what anybody says to you, don’t you let them get your goat. Try fighting with your head for a change.”.

The brave man should embrace equality and fairness .“All men are created equal.”.

The brave man should embrace comprehension and empathy.“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view.”.

The brave man should embrace love and kindness .“The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience .”.

Based on these principles ,we will be inches from being an integral person.

When facing oppression ,we can differentiate from fight and wrong , fighting for justice .

When setting up a goal ,we hold the confidence and hold on straight to the end .

When making an mistake for impulsion ,we analyze the essence with head and correct our behaviors in time .

When coming cross the evil and stepping into darkness , we won’t give up hope smile to life ,As Shelley said “ If winter comes ,can spring be far behind ?”.

With the true courage , I still have a fear , but I go to great lengths to catch the light ,conquering the primary me .

With the true courage , I know I will lose , but I stick to holed the rightness ,becoming the conscientious winner .

Romain Rolland said ,“There is only one heroism in the world ：to see the world as it is and to love it .”.

Let’s be a grave man .
