Analyze the meaning of the following quotation: "i wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. it's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what." think about the following: a. what is the quotation literally saying? b. what is the message atticus is trying to get across to his children?

a. True meaning of Courage.

b. Atticus is trying to get across that the courage is a mental decision.

Explanation:

The quotation illustrates the distinction between the true and bogus meaning of courage. It suggests that courage is not the idea of a man holding a gun but it is the inner strength that enlaces an individual to fight all the odds and barriers.

Atticus in "To Kill a Mockingbird" elaborates that without having emotional and mental strength, it is inaccessible to demonstrate courage when it is required. He proposes to exemplify courage as never giving up attitude and beating the disparity.
