I only thought this quoite applied to exactly what the quote was saying, but later realized that it meant more. I feel that it also means that fear is a unniversal emotion that humans feel, and all people overcome fear in their own ways. To Emily Bronte, however, I think that she only used the quote to characterize the protagonist becasue the quote didn't mean something personal to her.

Giant anteaters kill two hunters in Brazil

In the first case, a 47-year-old man was hunting with his two sons and his dogs when they came upon a giant anteater in northern Brazil. The hunter did not shoot at the animal, but he approached it with his knife drawn.

The anteater stood on its hind legs and grabbed the man with its forelimbs, causing deep puncture wounds in his thighs and upper arms.

The hunter bled to death at the scene, said the report, which noted that the encounter happened on August 1, 2012 but had not been described in scientific literature until now.

The other case involved a 75-year-old man who died in 2010 when an anteater used its long front claws -- which typically help it dig into anthills -- to puncture his femoral arteries, located in the groin and thigh

Song: Overcomer by Mandisa

Staring at a stop sign

Watching people drive by

T Mac on the radio

Got so much on your mind

Nothing's really going right

Looking for a ray of hope

Whatever it is you may be going through

I know He's not gonna let it get the best of you

You're an overcomer

Stay in the fight ‘til the final round

You're not going under

‘Cause God is holding you right now

You might be down for a moment

Feeling like it's hopeless

That's when He reminds You

That you're an overcomer

You're an overcomer

Heroic teens save family from Phoenix apartment fire

"We said, 'We will catch you. Trust us,'" Rose said.

The woman dropped her 3-year-old son first, and then her 6-year-old daughter. Rose and his cousin handed the kids to John's sister, Allana Gallup, and Caitlin Bildilli.

Then, the woman began throwing down some of her personal belongings, Rose said, including a laptop, cell phone and other personal belongings.

She surprised the teens when she suddenly jumped, but John Gallup said he was able to grab her upper body and cushioned her fall. She suffered a minor scrape to her knee.

Justin Rose said firefighters told him that the survival rate of a child falling from a second-story level was 30 percent to 40 percent without someone helping, and 40 percent for an adult.

"If you were to take those odds and they would have just jumped, their chances of survival would be very slim," Rose said.
