What Is Courage?

In the novel 'Freak the Mighty', Courage is one key element to make up the story. Freak is one kid who has a disease which give the story a better conflict and gives it a purpose. Life may appear difficult, but that's life. As Loretta said in the book 'freak the mighty', She said "Nothing is a drag kid, think about it". If you really do thing about it, life is so fun! Even if you are just sitting there on the couch doing NOTHING. Courage isn't just something kind to others or for survival, but it is the way we live!
