Sean's first blog

Yesterday in my English class, my fellow class mates and I discussed an assigned text we were supposed to read. Each student took one note card and wrote two questions on them. We went around the room and the class answered the questions as a whole.  This was called Superman and Me. It was written by Sherman Alexie who was a well-known author. The title describes the authors relations between himself and the famous Superman. Sherman wanted to save his fellow Indian people through education, as Superman also saved people with his super natural ability. This text portrayed one of the stereotypes that has existed over the years, which can  relate to alot of readers of the story. Everyone, including myself  has more than likely had at least one stereotype they had to face, whether it be something small or a serious situation. How you handle the situation is the most important factor in times like those. As Sherman Alexie portrayed in Superman and Me, one of the best ways to fight that is through education. It is vital to have and acquire that. The best part of an Education is that none can take that away from you.
