Dear Reader,
The theme I chose was bravery, and the reason for this is my book showed many accounts of bravery throughout. In the book I read, Brisingr, the main character, Eragon, show huge amounts of bravery by taking on the responsibility of many. Now bravery is a hard thing to come by in a person and when it is found you should always keep hold of it. You will see accounts of bravery throughout my post. I will be providing you with examples of the bravery shown throughout Brisingr, throughout this post. Another reason why I chose this theme, bravery, is because it is a very important trait to have at times of great importance. We all need bravery when facing opponents or in some cases ones fears. Bravery defines one whole being, without bravery we wouldn’t have people in this world that will give up their lives for the sake of others living.
“Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid.”
Franklin P. Jones Dear Nasuada,
Things are not going as planned with Roran and my trip to Hellgrind. First we had to worry about being spotted by the black priest’s magicians, and then we had to save our strength for the raid. We waited a few days to come up with a plan on the ways we shall infiltrate Hellgrind and save Katrina. After many days of sitting and waiting we finally went into Hellgrind and attacked the Ra’zac(Katrina’s prison keepers). Knowing fully of the risk he was taking Roran ran in there fighting the Ra’zac for his love of Katrina. In my mind I was extremely surprised by his act of bravery; I was in great awe. In the end of it we saved Katrina and Roran is on his way back with her to the Varden. As for me I decided to stay here and infiltrate Hellgrind some more for the sake of the Varden. If there is any valuable information in this god for saken place I will find it.

Flashback:
“As I ran towards the great city that lay before us, Feinster, I think to myself this is going to be one of the most challenging battles of my life. Scared, worried, excited, adrenaline, all these emotions running throughout my body. But I fight for my love, Katrina, for my hometown, Carvahall, and for all of all of the free Alagaesia. Readying myself for the horn to sound, so I can charge this city and bring a victory to the Varden, I give whole self to this cause for the dream to once again live in my hometown! *horn* I hear over 1000 war cries coming from this massive army, adrenaline running throughout my veins, I am ready to take on the whole world…”
“Bravery never goes out of fashion”
- William Makepeace Thackeray
A Day in the life of Eragon Shadeslayer…
- First I wake up and smell the fresh air, stretch, talk to Saphira real quick
- After talking to her I go and bath and get dressed in one of my elf tunics
- Then I go for a walk and whenever I get the chance I help out local citizens by sacrificing my strength to heal their loved ones
- Nasuada usually calls for me to come to her by noon
- As I walk to her tent I hear distant cries of Thorn being broken
- Nasuada informs me that I need to do a mission for her and sacrifice my life once again for the people I love the most
- I respectfully accept this mission, then walk out and get prepared
“True bravery is shown by performing without witness what one might be capable of doing before all the world”
- François de la Rochefoucauld

Reflection,
Throughout this whole project I was thinking of which theme I should choose. Then I came upon bravery, which is a very rare quality. After doing this project and reading this book it gave me more of a sense of what the word bravery means, not just the definition. Bravery is the ability to stand up for what is right, and face your fears against all odds. I have learned that even though bravery is very hard to come by everyone has it; it comes out when they need it most. No one can tell if someone’s brave or not just by looking at them, they find out through their actions. Bravery defines the world and all its inhabitants. This project has taught me how to find bravery in even the most hardest places to fine it, and I appreciate it greatly.
