Call It Connection (Call It Courage)

In my book Call It Courage by Armstrong Sperry, I see a connection between the book and a quote from W. Clement Stone, "Thinking will not overcome fear but action will".The reason that these two are connected is because in the book Mafatu, the main character, is afraid of the ocean because he thinks that the Sea God, Moana, will take him away like she took is mother away and on a page he says "You destroyed my mother".The book shows a lot about how he thinks too much about how the ocean will take him away and he will be gone just like his mother but once he thinks he can never overcome his fear.The other kids of the island which is named Hikueru laugh and tell jibes and all him names like The Boy Who Is Afraid and Mafatu doesn't like that at all.The book then continues when he goes out into the ocean and prove that he can handle the ocean.The book then ends when he leaves an island that he was on and he comes home and he lives the rest of his life as a normal boy.
