Because I saw decent results, I simply scanned through the results on the first three pages and found exactly what I needed. While reading through this information, I learned a great deal of information about Shel Silverstein, the beloved author. Sheldon Alan Silverstein was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1930. Silverstein described his youth as uncomfortable, and because of his awkwardness, he spent a lot of time alone writing and drawing (Means). Silverstein never intended to be a writer or artist, but his talents continued as he grew older.
Essay 1 “Superman and Me” English 111 4/1/2014 I had the pleasure of reading “Superman and Me” by Sherman Alexie. I went into it thinking I was going to read an essay about a boy that had a fascination with Superman. I soon realized that it was more than just Superman the author was talking about. The author started off the essay with a short but descriptive sentenced “I learned to read with a Superman comic book” (582). I began to think that the author is now telling us how he began his journey or struggles of reading.
In Sherman Alexie’s essay “The Joy of Reading and Writing: Superman and Me,” Alexie describes how the negative expectations affected him and how he overcame them. Alexie says, “They wanted me to stay quiet, when the non- Indian teacher asked for answers, for volunteers, for help. We were Indian children who were expected to be stupid” (Alexie, 17). The negative expectations for Alexie and all other Indians were, to act unintelligent around people who weren’t Indian. Most of the Indians lived up to those expectations.
Cartoonist Charles Schulz Outline: • 1- Hero is someone who had done outstanding feat or conquest. 2- Born November 26, 1922 St. Paul, Minnesota U.S.A. 3- Died on February 12, 2000 in his sleep. • 1- Took a correspondence course from Art Instruction Inc. 2- Was drafted into the army. • 1- Worked as an art instructor. 2- Created his first comic strip Li'l Folks.
In the first paragraph, Alexie explains that he first learned to read with a Superman comic book when he was about 3 years old. But, before he could read a comic book, Alexie had taught himself about paragraphs and how he said that they related to the real world. Alexie began to think of everything in terms of paragraphs; such as he thought of his reservation he lived on was a paragraph within the United States. He also thought of his family as an essay of paragraphs, each family member existing as a separate paragraph but still common experiences and genetics linked them to each other. He taught himself to read the text by looking at the pictures, dialogue and narrative, and than pretending to say aloud what he thinks the story might be saying.
By reading the principal’s speech, Richard was saying what the white power wanted him to say and to Richard this would be giving in to the very thing he hated so much. Richard was willing to leave school without a diploma instead of this. White people alienated Richard from his environment because he did not accept the way of life that other black people did. Richard’s relatives never understood Richard and because of this he was alienated from his family and his own people. Shorty is the young black boy who gets beat by the white people and jokes about it.
Ever since his brilliant insight, reading clicked for him. He was even able to take the concept of what paragraphs meant and compare them to real life This was a talent he grew up with and never gave up, as we know since he became a writer himself and now visits those schools hoping to enlighten those boys into the lifestyle he grew up livings with possibly even giving them the chance of survival. Sherman metaphorically gives us enlightenment that he is Superman. Just like how he saw Superman breaking through those doors in the comic book, he broke down those social barriers of a failing Indian in the non-Indian
Why High Schools Graduates are Unable to Read There are several reasons why some high school graduates are unable to read. One reason is the students themselves do not have support from family members to realize how important reading and writing can help them thrive in life. The students also play sports too much to focus on any type of education. They don’t make time to for school work and so they struggle when it is time to take tests of learn to read. If the student has learning disabilities, they will not tell anybody because they are too embarrassed to mention them and they struggle throughout school; they don’t ask for help.
