ÿCourage Essay

     Throughout the movie, “Power Of One,” there was one
character who showed the best example of genuine courage.
PK was one of the most courageous figures that has ever been
seen in our history.  He compiled all the virtues of courage
together to help others that were suffering around him.
     PK chose to act for the good even when he was a small
boy.  When he was sent to boarding school he avoided the
temptation of joining his peers in a foolish belief in
Nazism, and kept to himself.  When he was living in the
prison he saw that the blacks were being treated unfairly
and like animals.  He chose to act for the good by treating
them as he would treat anyone else.  When PK grew older and
left the prison he saw that nothing had changed, and that
the black community was still being treated unfairly.  Once
again PK chose to do good and helped them in their struggle

bring members of the black community into a school and teach
them the basics of reading and writing.  In turn these
people would go back to their villages and teach what they
learned.  In this example PK was caught but later it proved
that young children in the black community were able to read
and write.
     PK loosened the grip of fear by being strong inside and
out.  When he was very young he went to a witch doctor to
help him cope with his fears, and it worked.  While he
originally went to cure his bed wetting problem, his meeting
with the witch doctor helped him become a man with very
little fear.  When he was older and living in the prison he
learned to box in order to become a better fighter.  A
