Create a timeline that spans from your earliest memory to your current age. On this timeline, highlight the years when you demonstrated acts of bravery. Consider what these instances have in common. What insights do they provide about your character and your personal understanding of courage?

Compose an essay that contrasts a brave act by a public figure with a cowardly one by another public figure. This figure could be a politician, celebrity, or sports star. Analyze what this comparison reveals about the challenges of living under public observation.

Interview at least twelve individuals to gather their definitions of "courage." Examine the common elements within these definitions. Discuss which aspects you agree with and which ones you do not.
