Superhero Essay
My name is Darla Days and I was 17 years old when I wore something other then my sisters clothes. All my life I recieved hand me downs from my six older sisters because my sorry parents were to lazy, to drunk, or to irresponsible to get me my own stuff.I was born In Long Island,NewYork in a small two-story semi-detatched house. There wasn't enough of anything in ym famikly,so since I was near the bottom of our family line,I recieved everything nobodhy wanted anymore. Of all of my sisters,I was always told I was the prettiest and I was the smallest,besides my baby sister Nora. I loved her and I wanted so bad,for her not to have to go through what I went through. I got beat up and abused,because everyine else was angry at the way they were living and because they were jealous. I decided to get a job so that I could buy stuff for her and make sure she had food to eat and that her hair was done. She was12, I was 16 and I was taking care of her,better then either of our parents ever did for the rest of us. But this caused even more problems,because my other sisterrs felt slighted,like I was spoiling her and then my parents were angry because they said I could be helping them pay bills rather then buying her things she didn't need. But I didn't care what they said and I was going to the out of that house soon enough so I just dealt with it.
My dad was a drunk and my mom was a hippie,so she was always high. The sight of them disgusted me,as In looked at them laying around the messy house. Beer and vodka bottles, cigar and blunt wrappers,tobacco on the table, and the smell of old food and mult-purpose organic cleaners ruled myhouse,so I never stayed home. My boyfriends name was Dillian Watts. We had been friends since we were in pre-school and I loved him like a brother. I started to grow more intimate feelings for him though when I got middle school. He was smart,sexy and kind but I didn't want to ruin our friendship. Another problem,was that as he grew,he became more and

She said that she hadn’t known they were counterfeit and said she had gotten the money from me. That's when the plan backfired. The brought me in for questioning and I said that I hadn’t know they were counterfeits and that I just found them in the grass one day. The questioning had ended there but not for my parents. They ground into my sister for taking the money from me and then started grinding into me to figure out where I had gotten the money. I told them that I got it from a friend so I could use it as a way to get Meradith, my sister, to stop stealing money from me and from them. They said it was stupid of me to do that because she could have been arrested and kept in prison for a long time and they didn't want that to happen I told them I had done it for the greater good and they just scoffed and scowled at me. From that moment forward I haven't talked to my family or anybody since then because I didn't want to be punished for trying to do the right thing.

    This essay “Superman and Me” by Sherman Alexie was about how he learned to read. For Alexie, he picked up the habit of wanting to read from his father. He explains how long before he could even read he would pick up his father’s books and just look at them. Looking at how the books were structured allowed him to grasp the concept of books and paragraphs but it also allowed him to relate it to his own life. He looked at his own life, his family and thought about how they are each like their own little paragraph. The very first time he started to read was with a superman comic when he was a younger kid. Throughout his essay he talks little about learning to read from the comic book but more of how hard it was to fit in wanting to be a smart indian. He felt it was hard growing up because indians didn’t approve of him being smart, they were supposed to be stupid to society. But it was the books, and ambition to read…

    There are good movies and then there are movies that simply blow your mind. Since 2005, the “Dark Knight” trilogy has captivated its viewers with its deep story line and compelling characters.

The Dark Knight Rises is the epic conclusion to the trilogy and viewers will not be disappointed because entire film is jam packed with intense, fast paced action and heart wrenching emotion from the first scene to the very last. Being a fan of this story I expected the movie to deliver a deep entertaining story backed up with a rock solid cast of characters.…
