Question

How does the author best reveal that Iqbal is

courageous?

Read the excerpt from Igbal.

Iqbal was standing next to his loom. Behind him was his

carpet, that marvelous carpet with its complicated

design in a rich blue that had never been seen before. It

was perfect. Iqbal had worked better and faster than

anyone else could have. The foreigners would go crazy

over a rug like that.

Iqbal was pale, too, but not as pale as Hussain Khan. He

took the knife that we all used to cut the ends of the

knots, raised it above his head, and seemed to look

each of us in the eye. Then he calmly turned and cut the

carpet from top to bottom, right through the middle.

O by describing actions such as "seemed to look each of us in the eye" .

Step-by-step explanation:

Francesco D'Adamo's novel "Iqbal," tells the story of a young boy named Iqbal and his life as a child laborer. Narrated by a young girl named Fatima, the story is set in Pakistan and involves numerous other children working as slave laborers, weaving carpets for a mean and dangerous man Hussain Khan.

The given excerpt is from the fifth chapter where Iqbal destroyed "the world's most beautiful blue carpet", cutting it in half with the knife that the children usually use it "to cut the ends of the knots". This act, right in front of the other children and the mistress and Hussain, including Karim, demonstrates just how courageous Iqbal is. He openly and courageously acted against his master, at the risk of being punished.

Through the description of his actions, especially how he "seemed to look each of [them] in the eye" presents the courageous image of Iqbal.
