    I observed Tom has being a very observing and calm person. Meaning his demeanor at some points in the film were nonchalant. As mentioned earlier in my essay for example, when Pat collaborated on the statement that he made in the work pace, he felt as though he is doing black people and others persons of color a favor. At other times, I view his identity level as wanting to understand and hear what people of color are presented with on a daily basis, their reactions, beliefs and most of all their feelings.
