Answer 1

There is a very thin line between recklessness and courage, I guess defined by results

Answer 2

I would say the difference between recklessness and courage is that recklessness is going ahead with an action without caring about the consequences, and courage is knowing full well the possible consequences and making the difficult decision to live with them if things don't go well. To vary something is to change it, or modify it. To bury something is to put it down in the ground and then cover it up with dirt.

Answer 3

Lets have a five story building on fire. One man, seeing a person screaming in the fourth floor, races into the building to climb the burning stairs and try and save the person. He is not without courage, in fact he is very courageous and daring, but he is reckless! He did not start out with a plan and consider all the possibilities. He may fail to save someone and could die himself.

Another man at the fire stays put for a few minutes, he watches to see how quickly the fire is spreading, he calls to see how soon firefighters will arrive, he goes to the six story buiilding next door to see if he can access the burning one from there. He calls up to the panicky victim and tell them to go up to the roof, he goes to the roof of the nieghbor building, secures a long rope to the concrete support for the flagpole and lowers himself to the roof of the burning building. He saves the party by lowering them to the ground by extra ropes he brought along. He saves himself in the same manner. He is courageous because he knew the danger, anlyzed it, knowing he had to do something and would, if necessary run up the stairs himself. But he determined the best chance for both to make it and even then was risking his life. He knew that and prepared.

Answer 4

Recklessness is when you are crazy for something and you'll do anything to get it, courage is bravery and pride.

Vary is if something differs from object to object, and bury is when you dig a hole in the ground and put something in it and then put dirt on top of it.

Answer 5

Recklessness is just being stupid, courage is forcing yourself to be something you want to be. Like facing your fears.
And if you get up enough courage, to cover up your mistakes while being reckless, you should not vary the places where you bury the body. LOL

Answer 6

Actually recklessness and courage are the same thing until the task is accomplished-it is only after the end result people define the persons actions as reckless or courageous.

As for vary versus bury-she was likely referring to not the meaning of the word, but the pronunciation here is a history:

Word History: Why does bury rhyme with berry and not with jury? The answer goes back to early English times. The late Old English form of the verb bury was byrgan, pronounced approximately (büryn). During Middle English times this (ü) sound changed, but with different results in different regions of England: to () as in put in the Midlands, to () as in pit in southern England, or to () as in pet in southeast England. London is located in the East Midlands, but because of its central location and its status as the capital, its East Midlands dialect was influenced by southern (Saxon) and southeastern (Kentish) dialects. The normal East Midlands development of (ü) was (), spelled u. Because scribes from the East Midlands pronounced the word with this vowel they tended to spell the word with a u, and this spelling became standard when spellings were fixed after the introduction of printing. The word's pronunciation, however, is southeastern. Bury is the only word in Modern English with a Midlands spelling and a southeastern pronunciation. Similarly, the word busy from Old English bysig, bisig, and its verb bysgian, bisgian, “to employ,” are spelled with the East Midlands dialect u, but pronounced with the southern (Saxon) development of (ü), ().

Answer 7

Recklessness would have an edge of apathy, and courage would border more on emotions, IMO.

Vary vs. bury? I don't think I get it, sorry.

Answer 8

The motivation behind the action. Recklessness is something done with out regard for others, whereas courage is something done with total regard for others.

Answer 9

Recklessness is getting someone fired from their job and having them unable to get another job for almost 2 years.
