== http://www.mondaymusings.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/courage.gif =Main Summary: = Courage may be in a dictionary but the true meaning will never be known because of our inability to seek past the shadows of the impervious veil. This exert explained the book. It talked about why he wrote the book and how words cannot describe the courage these men faced against. It said that a man who does think of himself is courageous, not just a man who thinks of others.

=What Courage Means to Me: = To me, courage means standing up for what you believe is right, even if it's that you may upset somebody by doing so. A personal point of this is high school. During high school, students are pressured by their friends to do things they know they shouldn't. For example, some of my friends smoke. They tried to get me to smoke once, but I declined. They pressured me and told me that I was a wimp if I didn't do it, but still I held my ground. My friends got mad at me for awhile. Later, they realized they couldn't make me do what I didn't want to. So now my friends no longer try to pressure me. I showed courage by standing up against peer pressure.
