Abstract
Bravery is a human trait which can be displayed through different ways, from physical courage to moral courage. Bravery is one of the main theme of The Submission, a novel written by Amy Waldman and published in 2011.
A jury chooses a memorial for the victims of a devastating terrorist attack on Manhattan. When the envelope is opened to reveal the name of the winner, it is as if a bomb has been dropped. No one in their wildest dreams, not even these worldly politicians, intellectuals, and artists, could imagine that a Muslim, a member of the "other" side, could have been chosen.
His selection is not well received in a divided country.
