Question

What is the real courage according to A.G.Gardiner? Explain

Answer 1

Answer:

The real courage

Explanation:

Courage means having the ability to take a stand for a noble cause.

The definition of courage differs from one author to another.

Here A.G.Gardinar explains that when it comes to the matter of courage an individual must decide for themselves as to the course of action they are to take. Twain’s friend being an example. Though he may have committed a cowardly act.

He has in his life made up for the mistake he has made. He also knows that he has to live with his actions for the rest of his life even if he knows that should he revisit the event he would not pull the life jacket from the woman. A man cannot be judged on one single event in their life even if those who judge an individual feel as though they can.

A man’s total actions must be taken into consideration rather than having judgement placed on them for one mistake. No matter how serious that mistake may be. Everybody deserves a second chance. The fact that Twain’s friend was also acting on impulse must be taken into consideration. Though the man feels shame he must learn to forgive himself for what was an impulse.

Gardiner also appears to be suggesting that with courage comes bravery. A person for example running into a fire to save a child is not only committing a courageous act but it is also an act of bravery. Something that many people may think they would do but the reality is should they be faced with the situation at first hand. They may not be so courageous or brave. Courage also sets men aside from other men something which is clear to Gardiner when he hopes that he too would be courageous should circumstances dictate.

Answer 2

Real courage according to A. G. Gardiner:

• One is courageous when a person thinks about others before he thinks about himself/herself.
• One is courageous when he/she gives the others second chance in their life. When one not only judges the single action of a person but considers all other actions.
• One is courageous when one's impulse exhibits bravery and courage.
• One is courageous when they do not think about the consequences and acts bravely. Sometimes, one risks becoming outcasts by beings courageous.
