Many children receive bravery awards every year around the world, and none of them hold a gun or punch someone in the face to prove that he is courageous, contrary to what most people imagine. In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Atticus believed that true bravery and courage consisted of facing the negativities of life and society persistently, and by sticking to one's convictions, no matter what. 'be the price. Jem and Mrs. Dubose are two characters that strongly apply to Atticus' meaning of bravery and courage. Dubose was a truly brave woman in Atticus's eyes. Atticus tried to teach his children the true meaning of courage by setting an example. Ms. Dubose struggled so much to die the way she wanted, but she also didn't ask for help, even though it was difficult for her to fight addiction alone. "Most of the time you read to her, I doubt she heard a word you said." His whole mind and body were focused on waking up. (Harper Lee, 120) In this quote, Mrs. Dubose was fighting for her dignity while she was alive by not asking for help. If Mrs. Dubose had told Jem that these were his last days, he would have come earlier each day and that would make his fight easier. Instead, she chose not to and ignored the pain to maintain her dignity. Ms. Dubose's beliefs were her top priority. Most people's actions or her personal needs did not affect her way of thinking because she had a brave heart. "Jem, when you're sick like she was, it's good to take anything to make things easier, but it wasn't good for her." (Harper Lee, 120)When Atticus set an example for Jem, he wasn't talking about him personally but he meant...... middle of paper...... of bravery and courage in Atticus' eyes, and both Jem and Mrs. Dubose understood what he meant. Ms. Dubose strongly played the role of the courageous woman who fights for her dignity ignoring what others do, and represented the person who fights alone without asking for help. Jem went through a growth process that led him to become a responsible man who keeps his word no matter what, despite the fear he might face while doing so or despite the bad outcomes that might happen to him. By understanding what courage and bravery really are, positive results could result in society. In the book "To Kill a Mockingbird", Mrs. Dubose was a great example of fighting addiction, and Jem was a great example of the true form of maturity, and if these examples were used well, they could be presented as a solution to most problems. the problems of the world.
