What I think constitutes as being courageous or brave is being able to do things that you aren't very comfortable doing, like for example Jem reading to Mrs. Dubose. Being brave and courageous doesn't mean you have to be able to shoot a gun, you do something that you don't want to do but do it any way because it's right. People do things all the time to save another persons life or just to be nice. Like standing up for some one getting bullied that is brave and courageous. It can be something simply of something very hard but if you do because it's right then you are brave and courageous.

I think the most courageous person in the book is Jem. Jem has been through a lot but still protects his sister and helps his father when he can. Who I think is brave and courageous is people I know that have cancer. I admire them because you have to be brave and have courage that you will be okay. Some people take the easy way out and end while others fight because they are brave. Those are the people I look up to and admire.
