10. PEEC Paragraph

11. PEEC Paragraph Example Bravery is a characteristic that appears during times of crisis. In the story, Where the Red Fern Grows, a boy and his two puppies are sleeping in a cave at nighttime when he hears the scream of a mountain lion. While the boy is frozen in fear, the male puppy springs to action to defend the boy and other dog. He raised his small red head high in the air, [and] bawled his challenge to the devil cat (Rawls 17-18). This shows that the boy dog displayed courage in a dangerous situation. Even though he was smaller than the mountain lion, it didn t prevent him from defending others. In life, people can show bravery in many different ways by standing up to someone or something that s bigger than themselves.
