1. I would consider the Navajo people as peaceful. Their way of life as peaceful also. They do not want to fight. They also think that war is neccessary if they are attacked.
2. I would feel very sad and angry if my country was taken over by powerful outsiders. Yesthis happens in the world sometimes today.
3. courage means bravery to me. Courage means standing up for your rights to me. That you do not give up.
4. An exampleof courage is when Annissa stood up for me when a boy said that he hoped that I died. I have also read about how people show courage in books. For example, when Harry Potter shows courage in the seventh book.
5. seh and her people show courage by not fighting.

1. They are very smart and spiritual. They believe in very interesting things. And, how they live and dwell, also they are very cool how they survive.

2. I would really, really get so mad. I would probably actually fight back. Because it would be so.....MADDINING to have someone TAKE OVER MY LAND and BURN MY HOUSE DOWN!! This does happen in the world today--mostly outside of the U.S. but in Africa or India, people take over people's towns sometimes.
COURAGE

☺ Courage means to stand up and be brave at sometime you always don't want to. To stick up for somebody, face your fears, or to do something above and beyond;brave.

☺ One time, a 16 year old girl, a babysitter, was babysitting 4 children in the middle of the winter. Suddenly, the house was engulfed in flames, and she tried to get all the childern out of the house. (Ages 4-7) She thought they were following her out of the house, but only two did; and she went back in the burning house to get the other two. She had courage to go get them, because she riskled her life to save all 4 children. She suffered severe burns, and smoke inhalation. But everyone lived.

☺ Bright Morning and her people have shown courage by succesfully showing there people which way to go. Also, they took care of people, and took charge of everyone.
