Mafatu, the protagonist in Armstrong Sperry's novel "Call It Courage," avoids eating coconuts because of his traumatic past experiences. He associates coconuts with the fear of drowning, as he once nearly died at sea while trying to escape a storm. This fear prevents him from consuming them, representing his struggle with courage and overcoming his fears. Ultimately, his journey is about facing and conquering these fears to find strength and resilience.
