Courage in Individuals in "On Being Seventeen", "The Most Dangerous Game" and "Giving Blood" In my eyes it is a good thing. It can make hard times easier and easy times easier. Courage is overcoming a fear for a worthwhile purpose, such as jumping in front of a train to save someone. I will be defining the courage of three very unique individuals from previous stories read. They are Mr. David Raymond from the bock On Being Seventeen, Bright and Unable to Read, written by David himself. Mr. Rainsford from The Most Dangerous Game written by Richard Connel,
