To Kill A Mockingbird Courage Quotes

The Wizard of Oz (1939), directed by Victor Fleming, features several different characters going on a journey to find what they desire, one of the characters in particular is called “The Cowardly Lion.” He desperately wants to be courageous, but as the group arrives in Oz and talk with the wizard, “The Cowardly Lion” realizes that he had his courage with him the whole time and had unknowingly been courageous throughout the group’s trip to Oz.
