 The Red Badge of Courage
Stephen Crane
Stephen Crane described his novel of the American Civil War as a
"psychological portrait of fear." Although he never experienced the
horror of battle himself, Crane based his realistic narrative largely on
stories told by Civil War veterans. While those accounts tended to
focus on the external action of warfare, the young newspaper reporter
aspired to illustrate the internal experience of the soldier.

 Julius Caesar
William Shakespeare
Though a staple in high school English classes, Julius Caesar is
not a simple play. Seemingly irreconcilable forces are at work: fate and
free will, the changeableness and stubbornness of ambitious men, the
demands of public service and the desire for private gain. Drawn from
history as recorded by Plutarch, the major characters-Caesar, Brutus,
Cassius, and Mark Antony-are complex, as are the twists and turns of
their fortunes.

 A Tale of Two Cities
Charles Dickens
In this exciting novel set during the French Revolution, Charles
Dickens expresses sympathy for the downtrodden poor and their outrage at
the self-indulgent aristocracy. But Dickens is no friend of the
vengeful mob that storms the Bastille and cheers the guillotine. As with
all of his stories, his passion is for the unforgettable and
unrepeatable individuals he creates.

Catholic World Report and Homiletic & Pastoral Review
A Moment of Weakness and the Paradox of God’s Grace
Targeted by extremists, a Catholic convert from Islam reflects on
the constancy that is as necessary to the Christian life as bravery.
by Ilyas Khan
In 1980, a month or so after I had turned 18, I took up residence at
Netherhall House, an Opus Dei-run student hall in the leafy London
suburb of Hampstead.
I turned 50 in early August this year, and it is only recently that I am
able to pull off the feat of looking back across 32 years without a
sense of vertigo. The passage of time since I was 18 often seems simply a
continuation of the journey that started when I took my first steps up
the stone entrance of Netherhall and across the hushed threshold.

virtue of fortitude (a key component of patience).Focusing on the
character of fortitude provides guidelines to dealing with clients that
encourages proper use of fear and anger without denying their existence
or validity.
