Dexter is a crime drama that began airing on October 1, 2006, set in Miami. Dexter Morgan works in forensics, specializing in bloodstains for the Miami Metro Police Department. Dexter himself leads a double life as a vigilante serial killer, targeting other murderers who he views as not getting adequately punished by the justice system; the first season is taken from the novel Darkly Dreaming Dexter, while the succeeding seasons go on different paths. As someone might expect, Dexter's journey is character-centric, where the titular character struggles with his identity. What he calls his "dark passenger" urges him to harm a relationship he doesn't want to get out of. Interestingly, the show makes you empathize with Dexter, while he does terrible …show more content…
In one instance, he claims to lack feeling yet admits he finds spending time with Rita enjoyable, indicating he's not as thoughtless as he claims. "Lately, the thing that surprises me most about Rita is how much I enjoy being with her. But whenever that happens with a woman, and I feel comfortable with her, it all goes wrong." (Dexter, S1E2) Much of Rita's character was getting control over herself after the introduction of her controlling ex. "The only real question I have is why, in a building full of cops, all supposedly with a keen insight into the human soul, is Doakes the only one who gets the creeps from me?" (Dexter, S1E1) Doakes, a sergeant in the homicide department and my favorite character, acts as both a detective and supervisor at crime scenes. (fandom) He's known for his aggression and keen instinct, seeing through Dexter's everyday persona and having a genuine rightful distaste for him. There's something off about you, Morgan. I should have seen it before. The fake smile, the donuts. You don't even walk like a normal person, you glide. Like a fucking lizard on

Dexter is the lead character of famous crime, drama and mystery TV series, “Dexter”. The TV series is a treat for the psychologically minded
When Dexter Haven came back into his ex-wife’s home unannounced would very much compare to the Anomie theory. As stated by Jack Levin, “a social situation in which the traditional rules of everyday life have broken down and individuals became confused as to how to behave.” (Levin, 54) I believe this is very noticeable in Dexter’s behavior when he comes back into Traci’s home attempting to introduce Macaulay Connor and Liz Imbrie as family friends of the family so they can report on the wedding for their tabloid Spy Magazine. Dexter became confused as the person who he is when he learned about Traci’s wedding. He was an old employee for Spy, and that is when he decided to intrude into the wedding with his plot. `
Dexter denies his background as coming from the middle class and wanting to have more in life. He started as a fourteen year old golf caddie and was the best one around. Dexter one day while working thought to himself that he could have so much more than just being a golf caddie. Then and there he decided to quit his job and move on with his life.

Little did Dexter know that Judy was going to play him like she has played every other man in town, dinner, dates, and get booted to the curb when she got bored. Judy preyed on Dexter’s so-called love throughout his childhood, adulthood, and his engagement with Irene. Dexter and Judy’s relationship was based off Dexter’s dream to have the prettiest girl even if she couldn’t be
The similarities between Jay and Dexter are quite apparent when reading each story. They both come from the Midwest and although Dexter’s family has some money, both are similar in the fact that they did not start out as wealthy, upper class men from rich families. Their hard work and determination to make their own wealth and acquire the luxuries and social status that come with it are completely by their own doing. Both men achieve their goals of the American dream at a relatively young age and are able to be a part of the high society they once observed from a distance. Their desire to amass wealth and the perks associated with it come with an ulterior motive, to win back the girls they desire that will only be with them if they have the wealth and status to bring to the table.
(74) His first concern is himself and asks Rita “Is it because you think I got no soul or some crap like that, isn’t it?” (74). He feels that his race is the reason Rita has been avoiding him. He reasons that the tension existing between him and Rita is because Rita disagrees with his beliefs and upbringing.
...career ahead of you, Dexter showed us that if you work hard enough you can end up at the top, but you have to be willing to do the work, and everyone has an equal opportunity to be successful it is just the people who are willing to make sacrifices and want to be successful in life. I think that this story has a really good message in it especially because we live in such a small town and reading this makes it more inspiring because it shows us that we can do something with our lives. Even if the odds are against us in being someone important or being super rich we know now that it is possible to achieve this. Dexter shows the American Dream perfectly he demonstrates how you can start from the bottom of the food chain and make your way to the top, but it is going to have to take some work and sacrifices. You never know what is going to happen unless you take risks.
Sadly, the story doesn’t end that way. The story had many similarities and differences considering the plot, atmosphere, tone and characteristics, to a fairy tale. The plot of “Winter Dreams” is similar to a fairy tale. The story begins with a middle class young boy dreaming of fame and fortune. Dexter always wants more in life than he already does.

Dexter knew he was successful, so much that when he went on his first date with Judy he told her that he was “Making more money than any man my age is in the Northwest.” There was never a doubt that he wasn’t going to stop making money to get whatever he wanted.
It is made clear by Dexter that he dreads the winter days and wishes for the cold barren season to end, The author Fitzgerald makes a great example of this when he states, “In the fall when the days became crisp and grey, and the long Minnesota winter shut down like the white lid of a box, Dexter 's skis moved over the snow that hid the fairways of the golf course. At these times, the country gave him a feeling of profound melancholy it often reminded him that the links should lie in enforced fallowness, haunted by ragged sparrows for the long season” (Fitzgerald 1). This quote used in the beginning describes a gloomy, and quiet atmosphere. The description of the cold seasons set a pensive mood, it also gives the reader an idea of Dexter’s character. The further present is a sense of Dexter’s hopefulness. Dexter seems to obviously not be fond of the cold and the elements leading alongside. But can very unclear as to why Dexter likes the months leading into winter As the narrator states, “Fall made him clench his hands and tremble and repeat idiotic sentences to himself, and make brisk abrupt gestures of command to imaginary audiences and armies. October filled him with hope which November raised to a sort of ecstatic triumph, and in this mood the fleeting brilliant impressions of the summer” (Fitzgerald 1). The reader can infer the coming of summer and the joys Dexter anticipates. This quote makes Dexter also seem a little emotional and somewhat sensitive. In the story, discovered was at some points into the story it can be difficult to tell if dexter likes a season. It’s almost as if the colder seasons have more of an effect on him. It is unclear as to dexter might not like spring or the season leading into summer, as opposed to liking it. The narrator tells an example when
Dexter even takes offense when Delvin says, “She was a pretty girl when she first came to Detroit.” Delvin next tells Dexter that her husband treats her “like the devil.” As their conversation continues, Dexter becomes more and more distressed. His dream slowly slips away. The once beautiful and wealthy Judy Jones is no longer the embodiment of Dexter’s dreams.
What is leadership? Leadership is defined as a process by which a individual will influence others to obtain goals. Leaders will guide, direct motivate, or inspire others. Leadership is defined by not only traits but actions as well. Leaders are inspirational, trustworthy and charismatic. Many people may think a manger is leader. Although leadership and management go hand in hand, they are not the same. Everyone has their own beliefs about what characteristics an effective leader should have. To me, communication skills, critical thinking skills, and having a vision are few characteristics of becoming an effective leader. A leader is not only born, but made. Some are born as leaders or some are made to be leaders.
