laila [671]

Incomplete question. The complete question reads;

In the context of the text, what does it mean to be brave? How did Díaz finally confront his fears, and what was the result? Cite evidence from this text, your own experience, and  other literature, art, or history in your answer.

<u>Explanation:</u>

From the text, to show how fear drives action an excerpt from the novel <em>Dune </em>was mentioned by the narrator, he said "<em> </em><em>‘‘Fear is the mind-killer,’’ </em><em>and let me tell you, my man knows of what he speaks. When the brothers appeared, I couldn’t think for nothing. </em><em>I would drop whatever I was doing  and get away, and it was only later, after I calmed down, that I would realize what I had done." </em>In other words, it pursues one into running from the object or subject of fear. Motivation to be brave often comes from the fact that it is the only way out attaining freedom from fear.

Díaz said he finally confronted his fears when he no longer fled from his bullies, in fact, he said,

<em>"I forced myself to stop. </em><em>I forced myself to turn toward them, </em><em>and it felt as if the whole world was turning with me. I couldn’t make myself walk toward them, I could barely even look at them, </em><em>so I settled for standing still</em><em>. As the brothers approached, the ground started tilting out from under me. One of them scowled. A</em><em>nd then, without a word, they walked past</em><em>"</em>
