"A father holds his daughter’s hand for a short while, but he holds her heart forever." -Q&S
As the finale of The Pale Blue Eye draws near, I found out that Detective Augustus Landor is the real killer of Leroy Fry and Randolph Ballinger and uses the deaths of Lea and Artemus Marquis to portray them as killers. Landor's daughter Mathilde was raped by Fry, Ballinger, and Stoddard after attending her first ball. Traumatized by the experience, she later killed herself by jumping off a cliff. This movie depicts the love and revenge of a father. He will do everything for her daughter’s justice. In this movie, I witnessed the father's dedication in avenging what happened to his daughter.
On the other hand, it made me realize how a father is important to one’s life. Usually, people talk about a mother’s love and affection, while a father’s love often gets ignored. A mother’s love is talked about repeatedly everywhere, in movies, in shows, and more. Yet, what we fail to acknowledge is the strength of a father, which often goes unnoticed.
Anyone can father a child, but being a dad takes a lifetime. Fathers play a role in every child’s life that cannot be filled by others. This role can have a large impact on a child and help shape him or her into the person they become. Fathers, like mothers, are pillars in the development of a child’s emotional well-being. Children look to their fathers to lay down the rules and enforce them. They also look to their fathers to provide a feeling of security, both physical and emotional.
Fathers not only influence who we are inside but also how we have relationships with people as we grow. The way a father treats his child will influence what he or she looks for in other people. Friends, lovers, and spouses will all be chosen based on how the child perceives the meaning of the relationship with his or her father. The patterns a father sets in his relationships with his children will dictate how his children relate to other people.
Young girls depend on their fathers for security and emotional support. A father shows his daughter what a good relationship with a man is like. If a father is loving and gentle, his daughter will look for those qualities in men when she’s old enough to begin dating. If a woman's father is strong and valiant, she will relate closely to men of the same character.
To sum it up, I believe that my father has everything it takes to be called a real-life superhero. The way he manages things professionally and personally leaves me mesmerized every time. I can proudly say that it is my father who has been my source of inspiration from day one. In other words, his perspective and personality have shaped me as a person. Similarly, he has a great impact on the world in his own little ways. No matter how tough the times got, I watched my father become tougher. I certainly aspire to become like my father. If I could just inherit ten percent of what he is, I believe my life would be sorted.So today, don’t forget to tell your father you love him, and thanks for being there!
