Role models in books Spoiler Alert!!!

The reading inquiry for my group is "what are examples of good role models in books?" I was reading around and I noticed a pattern. Role models are often the people in the toughest situations. When you put coal under pressure it creates diamonds. The example that most stuck with me was Tris from Alliengent. She is put under a lot of pressure because both her parents are dead and her brother sold her out to people who wanted to kill her. She has to keep her group of friends together and try to save every one in Chicago from getting her memories erased.

Tris is a good role model because she is willing to risk her life for others. She always stays strong for others and she does die so that others can live. Just to clarify, I'm not trying to say that if you don't risk your life or die then you aren't a role model. But people who have the bravery to do that for others are good role models. Also Sharpe from Waterloo is a good role model. He fights the French to protect all the peopel in the English Empire. Sharpe fights so that others don't have. He is willing to sacrifice himself so others can stay safe and innocent. His bravery make him a role model. All in all, people who are brave in bad situations are good role models.
