    In his essay “The Joy of Reading and Writing: Superman and Me” Sherman Alexie claimed that it was reading and knowledge which saved his life. Because, besides reading and books, his family and background was the same as other Indians who lived in the reservation: poor and underprivileged. Alexie then recalled how his father read as many books as possible, which made himself a role model to the author. Under his father’s influence, Alexie picked up books before he could read.

    Throughout my reading of Stephen King’s On Writing and Sherman Alexie’s Superman and Me, I was able to distinguish between similarities and differences in each of stories. Stephen King is an eminent writer from Maine who is known for writing horror novels. In On Writing, King writes about how people are able to learn both in the classroom and out, but he emphasized the importance of learning outside of school. He writes, “I took my fair share of english lit classes… but, Josh Gould taught me more than any of them” (King 444). I believe that King is saying that we must learn from our experiences and it is okay to fail. King is saying that you can take as any advanced classes as you wish, but what it truly comes down to is if you are an active…

    We have the idea that superheroes represent all that is good, and that a superhero must possess strength beyond a normal human being as well as superhuman abilities. There is the idea that superheroes are supposed to be considered role models. Batman and the Punisher are only human, not mutants, and possess no super human strength or powers. Thus both of these heroes must rely on gadgets, tactics, and a sure will to survive due to their lack of superhuman abilities. Despite their differences Batman and the Punisher represent the “Dark” hero that have based their lives on vengeance.…

    In the article “watching TV Makes you smarter “by Steve Johnson, he claims that watching TV can actually make you smarter. Johnson claims that television these days seems to be more complex than in earlier years, so by watching it were putting our thinking caps on. Even for example the show 24, it’s based on Muslim terrorists and torture scenes but he believes it to be more educational then anything. TV doesn’t need to dumb you down or waste your time we can be learning things throughout the episodes. Shows that are on now have more than one story line going on at a time. We have to actually pay attention and try to follow the characters and how they relate. So by television having more complexity and more drama going on it forces us to think therefore TV makes us smarter.…
