"It's a crazy feeling when your heart rate is 150 miles per hour and your brain is sliding into sleep and you know when the convoy gets going that if you miss something, it will kill you. And your friends" (Klay 39).

The narrator is talking about the soldiers 'sleeping' at night before they are getting ready to fight. The American soldiers are expected to just sleep and get a good nights rest like nothing is wrong. With one mess up or if anything goes badly the next day, they know that they will die, and their friends will too. There is so much pressure on the soldiers and this shows how brave and courageous they really are, because even if they do not fall asleep, they still sit through the night, waiting to fight for their country and take that chance.

“Gatsby, pale as death, with his hands plunged like weights in his coat pocket, was standing in a puddle in water glaring tragically into my eyes” (Fitzgerald 45).

This scene is the first time that Gatsby is going to see Daisy since he left for WWI. Gatsby was so nervous to see the love of his life again after such a long time, but this shows how courageous he really is because he went through with it. Getting Daisy back was all that Gatsby planned his life around, and having the courage to meet her in person with a chance of denial exemplifies the true courage of Gatsby.

“I never see a n***** that was a better nuss or faithfuler, and yet he was risking his freedom to do it, and was all tired out, too, and I see plain enough he’d been worked main hard lately. I liked the n***** for that” (page 272).

At the end of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Jim does a very courageous act. When Tom Sawyer got injured with a gunshot wound, Jim took Tom to a nearby doctor in order to save him, and does not think about what he could lose in the meantime. Jim could totally lose his freedom, and he puts that aside in order to help a friend of Huck. This shows a ton of courage because he puts others in front of himself. The white doctor that he brings Tom to, is almost praising Jim for his act of bravery, and a white person saying this at that time means something.

“A singular disadvantage of the sea lies in the fact that after successfully surmounting one wave you discover that there is another behind it just as important and just as nervously anxious to do something effective in the way of swamping boats.” (Crane)

In this short story I actually thought that the main characters in the story did not convey acts of courage throughout the text. With the sense of naturalism throughout the story, this creates a sort of uncontrolled nature as well as being trapped at sea in a small boat. The main characters go about this the totally wrong way, and complain about the never ending problems with being out in the ocean, and never really devise a courageous act or plan.

“Sometimes, I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can anyone deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It’s beyond me.”

Zora Neale Hurston's way of going about discrimination is a very courageous approach and takes it with a lot of pride. She says "How can anyone deny themselves the pleasure of my company?" which to me says that she does not care what other people are saying and are rises above them and the bad things that went on in the past. She exemplifies a very courageous person, and shows it in her short story.
