Being A Role Model In 'Everything Will Be OK'

There is a lot of role models in this world. Abraham Lincoln. Jennifer Lawrence. Your parents. Maybe even your siblings. However, it takes a lot to be a good role model. Being a role model is being caring no matter what, it’s being brave, It means you are hopeful, always. Being a role model is being Marcus. In the story, “Everything will be OK”, the author James Howe develops a role model right before our eyes. His character Marcus gets flushed down a drain, yet he still managed to be so strong that he can be called a role model. He was braver than a soldier. He was caring, like a nurse. He was hopeful, even though deep deep down he knew that there wasn’t any hope. In one case, Marcus is a good role model because he is caring. He always puts

He knew this cat was in misery, and it was about to get 10x worse, so he held the cat, stroking its fur, whispering comforting words to it. “Everything will be ok Smoky,” He tells the cat. Finally, he had hope even when he knew there wasn’t. For example, he literally said “...I do know that no matter what I say he is going to do what he wants to do.” He knew his brother was going to kill the poor cat, yet he still yelled at his brother. He tried to persuade him to not kill Smoky. He even went to watch the cat die because he needed to see it to believe it. The only thing that would make him lose hope is his true love actually dying.
