Courage

"Speaking of Courage" is a post-war story based on Noman Bowkers's reflection. Some may say that it was very cowardly for Bowker not to save Kiowa, but just because you aren't very courageous, doesn't mean you're a coward. It would've taken a lot of courage to save Kiowa, courage that I certainly don't have, so what makes him a coward if it's something a lot of us wouldn't do? Remember, most of the people in war are just regular citizens that were DRAFTED into the war not by choice. The them "Cowardliness vs Courage" is often displayed in the novel. In example, choosing to go to the war or run from it. Running from could be considered cowardly and courageous, same with going to war. It's either you courageous to go to war and fight for your country or courageous to stand up for what you believe in and run from it. Similar to going to the courageous scenarios, are the cowarly scenarios. You are either cowardly to feed into the government's force by going to war, or cowardly by running away, hiding. In situations like these, everyone is courageous. No option in cowardly in my opinion. First off, you were mandated to go to war so you didn't really have a choice. With that being said, the tough choice you have to make is courageous regardless.
