What are the common themes in courage based short stories?

One story is about a young girl who was afraid of the dark. One night, she heard a strange noise in the attic. Instead of hiding under the covers, she mustered her courage, grabbed a flashlight, and went to investigate. It turned out to be a stray cat. By facing her fear, she overcame it.

A good one has relatable characters. When you can identify with the characters' fears and see their growth, it makes the story engaging.

Overcoming adversity is also a major theme. The young protagonists often have to overcome great challenges like poverty, discrimination or a dangerous enemy. In 'The Outsiders', Ponyboy Curtis has to face the harsh reality of being a greaser and the violence between the greasers and the Socs, and he finds the courage to rise above it all.

One common theme is self - discovery. The interaction with the computer often leads the character to discover their own courage that they didn't know they had. Another theme could be over coming challenges. The computer presents obstacles or problems that the character must face with courage.

The story of Nelson Mandela is very inspiring. He spent 27 years in prison for his fight against apartheid in South Africa. But his courage never waned. After his release, he worked towards reconciliation between different races in South Africa. His leadership and courage led to the end of apartheid and the building of a new, more inclusive South Africa.

A major theme is the power of prayer. Couples in these stories often pray together, which strengthens their bond. They also have the theme of moral values. Their love is guided by Christian morals such as honesty and loyalty. And the concept of divine love is often intertwined. They see their love for each other as a reflection of God's love, and this gives their relationship a deeper and more spiritual meaning.

Another theme is respect for elders. In Hindi culture, elders are highly respected. Many short stories illustrate how respecting elders brings blessings or good fortune. For instance, a young person who listens to an elder's advice and prospers as a result.

Friendship is another big theme. MLP is well - known for its focus on friendship, and in Courage the Cowardly Dog, although in a different context, Courage has strong bonds with his family which can be seen as a form of friendship. Fanfics often explore how the characters from both shows form new friendships or strengthen existing ones. For example, a pony might teach Courage about the power of positive thinking in friendship, while Courage shows the ponies how to be tough in difficult situations.

Isolation could also be a theme. If a human is new to Nowhere, they might feel isolated among all the strange creatures. This could be a parallel to Courage's own feelings of being an outsider sometimes, and the fanfic could explore how they both deal with that sense of not belonging in different ways.

Some common themes of short stories include love and relationships. This could be romantic love, family love or friendship. Another common theme is the struggle for survival, which can be physical survival in a harsh environment or emotional survival through difficult times. Also, the theme of self - discovery often appears, where the character learns something new about themselves.
