Bravery and Courage

In the book To Kill a Mockingbird there are some examples of bravery and courage. In my opinion being brave is when you overcome a fear, or stand up for something you believe in, and having courage means you believe in yourself, instead of giving up you keep pushing and tell yourself you can do it. I believe Atticus is the bravest character in the book so far. Although people in Maycomb county call him a "nigger lover" and think poorly of him, he still stands up for what he believes is right. I admire my mother, because to me she is the bravest person i know. She got pregnant at 17, although she dropped out of school as a junior, she has had a steady job ever since. She went back to school to get her GED, and eventually became and LPN. I am very proud of my mom for what she has accomplished. It shows me that no matter how bad a situation is, you can always make it better if you have the right mind set and you actually want to become something.
