<Tab/>A man named Eddie Rickenbacker once said, "Courage is doing what you are afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you are scared." These words of wisdom play a big part in our society today, as well as in the epic, Beowulf. The events one-year ago, on September 11th showed the world many courageous men who risked their lives to save others, when fear overpowered many others. Beowulf …showed first 75 words of 516 total…

…showed last 75 words of 516 total…for his people, and when they deserted him, he fought on anyways. Some of the rescuers in 9-11 may have known or had the feeling that they were going to die, but they did their job, and what they believed was the right thing. These things all show true courage, and what represents a hero, and as long as a person can do something that they are scared of, it means they have courage too.
