Superman Character Analysis
1. Aging
As watching the clips of Superman Returns, Superman is an official hero in this category because of his growing maturity as he ages and the knowledge of his super power. By analyzing the Superman's history, I think that he is just an alien, who has same emotions as any person on the earth. Same as any other kid at a young age, he needed the parents, who could teach him how important is the lives of all the people and to be a good person, and more experiences as he became an adult. His mother stated in one of the clip that his father once said he is an important person for this world, which meant that his power will be needed for this world. During his evolution to adulthood, he gained the wisdom and sympathy for human that attributed his soft and justice personalities.

The superman does not give up until the end to save his dear and other people. During the movie, there is another scene where superman hovering near the house of Richard and Lois and listening to their conversation, which happened to be Richard questioning Lois's feelings toward the superman. While watching the scene, I could assume that Lois still had feelings for the superman even though she does not show it outside and so as superman. After superman hears the refusal of Lois, he still gently leaves the place. The superman fully respects and commits to Lois in the relationship between

    In "Superman and Me", personal stories and repetition are two solid writing tools used by Sherman Alexie. While both of these writing tools differ in many ways; Alexie creates a similar response from his audience that creates a connection between the audience and Alexie. His essay was not just informative, but also emotional and through his use of personal stories and repetition, he allows the reader to understand the emotional journey he faced growing up on a reservation.…

    A scene that I disagree on was how Adam handled the situation of getting into the ICU to see how Mia was doing. What Adam did was he and Kim came up with a plan to try and sneak into the ICU by distracting the nurse and security grads.In my opinion what should have been done was since only family members were allowed to visit her Adam could have asked to be watched at all times during the visit by the security grads.A short passage from the book that I found meaningful was when Adam came inside to see Mia; he tried to help her with the decision of staying or leaving.This short passage was significant to me because it led to the development of the theme, love could never be broken apart no matter what the situation is, it will always be there. With the love and support that her boyfriend Adam gave her it made her more…

    Sherman Alexie’s, “Superman and Me” helped me remember how I developed my passion for reading as a child. From the moment I was able to read, I cherished this form of media. While other children my age viewed reading as a chore or a burden, I read for the endless possibilities it provided my imagination. Reading gives an individual the opportunity to learn new information, while creating new thoughts. My parents worked multiple jobs to provide my sisters and me with what they considered necessary for us. Given out circumstances, we found other means of entertainment. When we did not have luxuries such as cable, my sisters and I would have to find other ways to keep ourselves entertained. When we weren’t riding our bikes around the block, we would collect old books from our friends and…

    After watching the documentary “Waiting for ‘Superman,” I came to the conclusion that the home and neighborhood environment are critical factors in a child’s education and overall wellbeing. For example, when we examine the home environment of Anthony, Daisy, Francisco, and Bianca, we can see that most of these children live in low-income neighborhoods, and that their parents or legal guardians sometimes have to work two jobs to sustain their family. This constant struggle also has an effect on the child’s learning because when a child needs help with his homework, the parent does not have the necessary time or energy help them. As a result, the child starts to fall behind like Francisco, a boy who was in first grade and started to fall behind in school because he was not reading at his grade level. On the other hand, children that have better home environments like Emily, have a lesser chance of falling behind in school because their parents are able to provide them with the necessary tools and programs when they start to fall behind in class.…
