Most people think that courage is BIG, BOLD ACTION, like a person running into a burning building to rescue someone; and, of course, this does take courage, a lot of it. However, courage can show up in small ways in the choices that we make; thus, defining our character. People who dare to live authentically and be who they're meant to be show courage. Even not following the crowd and doing your thing is couragous. Making courageous decisions about health, time, relationships, repairing relationships, boundaries, self-care increase one's ability to love and take risks. Writing Assignment: 4-5 well-written paragraphs. You need to take a position on whether you agree or disagree (thesis statement) and tell why. Then give an example or two from your own life. Make sure you have a conclusion that ties it all together. I NEED HELP

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So I can help you start the basics of your essay.

An example topic-Leaving a toxic friendship( I'll use this prompt to help give you examples)

Intro- First start with a sentence that will hook your readers. Topic sentence example based on example prompt, I did it, I really did it. I just broke our 7 years of friendship.

Then you want to explain what just happened. Don't tell the whole story though. Tell who the characters and what problem you're going through. Tell something about yourself. Make it at least 6-7 sentences.

Body- Start talking about what the incident is. What is happening? If I had to include some things in the paragraph in my example prompt it would be something like, (someone's name) and I had been best friends for years...we always hung out and did everything together.....i noticed once we got older we were starting to growing apart, but we still stayed friends......she started judging me and making me feel like nothing.

So in one paragraph, you should be able to explain what the incident is and really get into the details.

In the next paragraph of the body, You want to tell how you showed courage. You will tell why you had to show courage and why you needed to face this problem. Again really get into the details by using your 5 senses and your emotions.

Conclusion- This should be your 4th paragraph. Quickly summarize what happened in the end. You want to tell a lesson you learned. Example: I'm glad I finally cut off this friendship. I knew it was hurting me and I let it keep on hurting me.......I showed the courage to talk to her and end this.....I learned to get rid of the people in my life who are making me feel like I'm not good enough.

You really want to show what you have gone through, how you showed courage, and a lesson you learned in the conclusion.

Make each paragraph at least 8-9 sentences long

and detail is always important

I hope this helped
