1. Courage is the perseverance to keep going. It is the little thoughts inside your head that is telling you to keep going and to not give up. And it is worth it to keep going.

2. I am choosing courage. There are many examples of courage throughout my book because of Emma and her eating disorder. She struggles but does not give up which takes courage. Also her Dad and step mother have to go through seeing here like this, and they need courage to keep going and help her get through this rough time of her life.

3. I think that my character reflects my theme of courage because she is very coragous. She has gone through alot in her life especially in the past year so she needs courage to be strong and carry on. She never gives up and never tries for the bad to not get the best of her. That shows courage because she could have just given up right there and gotten worse, but she wanted to get better deep down so she does anything to get better. Although she has her ups and downs I believe that in the end she will recover.
