Intro essay

Albus Dumbledore once said, “It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to your friends, but even more to stand up to your friends”. In the novels that Shmuel, Tom, and Ellie starred in, a great deal of courage was exposed in all three of them. They all were victims of punishments that they didn’t deserve but it still happened. Tortured, beaten, and discriminated against yet, they we're the ones that endured the brutal consequences. If one perseveres and tries to change the world then they will. People can make a difference in this world and it all starts with the courageousness of one and then it spreads like wildfire. As seen in Shmuel, Ellie, and Tom Robinson’s stories, courage can help transform the world for the better.
