“Everyone in society should be a role model, not only for their own self-respect, but for respect from others.” ~ Barry Bonds. In this world bad situations occur frequently and it takes a good strong person to handle them in a mature way. Dealing with them this way not only shows that the person has self-control, but also makes them a good role model for people to look up to.

Acting as a baseball coach and gym teacher, young boys look to him for guidance and motivation every day. Having this kind of position causes stress at times, and requires him to stay calm and level headed. Throughout this book, Mr. Galanter

Clare Kendry was the character that most ruthlessly pushes her way over the color-line. Clare was described as “so daring, so lovely, and so ‘having’” (Larsen, 43). “There had been, even in those days, nothing sacrificial in Clare Kendry’s idea of life, no allegiance beyond her own immediate desire” (10). “Clare Kendry cared nothing for the race. She only belonged to it” (52). She even considered herself a “deserter” of the race because of her life of passing (37).Clare got what she wanted, regardless of the cost to herself or to others. While telling Irene about her experience with passing, Clare explained that, “It’s such a frightfully easy thing to do. If one’s the type, all that’s needed is a little nerve” (25). She made clear that “Nothing could have been easier” (27) and that “It’s even worth the price” (28). Later in the novel however she changed her tone and started to tell the horrors of passing. She told Irene, “You’re free. You’re happy. And…safe” (67). She knew that if she were to be caught, she would be in real trouble. She would lose her daughter Margery, her marriage, and all of the physical comforts in life that she had gained from passing.

With its uncomplicated moral for parents to look after their children, M (Lang, 1931), the film that Fritz Lang himself considered his best artwork, reveals the story of Hans Beckert, the man whose perverted desires turned him into a pedophile and a serial killer. As the story goes, Fritz Lang exposes and juxtaposes two personalities hidden in Beckert - the maniac, the personality that the director integrates into the movie first, without showing the murderer’s face, and the paranoiac who is scared of his urgencies but is too weak to resist them. Such scenes as Beckert’s examination of his face in the mirror while the police secretary describes the traits of the maniac, the maniac’s “transformation” as he sees the new potential victim and his attempt to hold his wrath, and the trial expose different traits of the Beckert’s personality, giving his character more complexity than just a label “serial killer”. The blocking, setting of the scenes, and sound design help to reveal Beckert’s nature through the film and to built the tense and mystique atmosphere around him, drawing the spectator’s attention away from the issue of the murdered children to the development of the villain’s character.
