Author's Note: Here is a small paragraph response to Maximum Ride by James Patterson
Courage is something that is inside all of us but some choose to use it more than others. In the book Maximum Ride,Max and her friends are fleeing from the scientists who created them. Max is the leader of the "flock". She has to have the most courage out of everyone so she can encourage them and go through with things that might not even work. Courage means a lot of different things. It can mean you ate something that you normally would never have tried before, or it means standing up against the class bully but in Max's case courage means doing things a normal human could never imagine doing.There is one word that you could use to describe Max's character is couragous.

Fire
Fire licks at my heels as I run blindly through the dark clouds of smoke. I hear a barking and crying and I knew that, that was where I had to go. I sprit towards the sound the crying getting louder and louder. The noise is behind a door, I pull it open and there with her beloved dog is a crying little girl. I grab her and start running back through the smoke, the dog close on my heels. The girl's mouth is covered by my jacket and her eyes are tightly shut. Suddenly I stop panicked at a thought that ran through my head: none of this looks familier.. Are we lost? But then I heard shouts and sirens move in that direction. I see the door and the smoke filled night sky. The girl starts crying and I talk to her soothingly, " It's ok sweetie we're almost there." I can see people and abulences as I make the final sprint. I reach the door and rush outside into the clean night air. I let go of the girl and she rushes over to her anxious family inside an ambulence, her dog following her. I watch as her family pulls her close and they all start to sob. As I turn away I think to myself, I did it, I brought another family saftly together.
