Hemingway oftne thought of courage as a person's ability to be calm and controlled in the face of death.His theme is presented in his novel "for whom the bell tolls?"The story "The old mand and the sea".By misunderstanding a different thermometer the boy thought he was running a high fever and would soon die.But he took his death bravely and waited quitely for it.The boy showed us he had courage.
I think such a definition of courage if far from enough.Courage should not be limited and related only to death.In ordinarly life there are common things that also show a person's courage.For example,on a bus trip, a thief was tryin to steal a gril's purpse.Some people saw it,but kept quiet.They were afraid to be revenged by the thief.The brave stood up and stopped the thief.
Courage means truth and justice to me.The person in a high position often hear songs in praise of him.Some people own favor.The learder also needs courage to criticize him.Such courage may come from mutual understanding.I think a man of courage will value truth and justice ,and not hesitate in his actions to do what he thinks is right.

I guess my brother is courageous because he did just that, call out to the thief to stop what he was doing. The thief took out a knife and tried to stab my brother who had to defend himself using a briefcase that I gave to him. The briefcase was punctured in many places. Foolish but brave. Cheers!!
