Comments by Alex Rooker Most recent public comments by Alex Rooker https://nowcomment.com/users/43543 there are clear and present parallels, which is why superman and the reader undergo similar journeys, with him breaking down the door and the reader simply opening one to a more literate existence. https://nowcomment.com/documents/109228?scroll_to=1077111 https://nowcomment.com/documents/109228?scroll_to=1077111 this also denotes a tone shift from negative blockage to positive action. Tue, 04 Sep 2018 09:51:57 -0400 this identifies the reader as painfully unsuper. https://nowcomment.com/documents/109228?scroll_to=1077102 https://nowcomment.com/documents/109228?scroll_to=1077102 Tue, 04 Sep 2018 09:50:07 -0400 This is a symbol, with superman as the symbol. https://nowcomment.com/documents/109228?scroll_to=1077099 https://nowcomment.com/documents/109228?scroll_to=1077099 Tue, 04 Sep 2018 09:49:40 -0400 IN this paragraph it is clear that the author wants to fulfill himself by enriching others. https://nowcomment.com/documents/109228?scroll_to=1077093 https://nowcomment.com/documents/109228?scroll_to=1077093 This is an identifier for me as it says more about him than the kids he's teaching If he had these limits and wants to minimize them for kids that are like he once was. (I.E. police officers who used to be in gangs are now very tough on crime.) Tue, 04 Sep 2018 09:48:17 -0400 THis paragraph uses Superman as an allegory for achievement as he is the catalyst that causes the reader to keep reading. https://nowcomment.com/documents/109228?scroll_to=1077056 https://nowcomment.com/documents/109228?scroll_to=1077056 Once the reader is immersed he will bypass his limits and guess what is being said based on the pictures; in this way his learning is three-dimensional and super-cedes conventional methods as it is based on past experiences not regurgitation. In this way his learning is an allegory for a panel as it is multifaceted and three dimensional. In the same way if you know two dimensions of a rectangle you can figure out the third; he finds out what is written by observing the pictures and story. Tue, 04 Sep 2018 09:49:40 -0400 The reader takes a hindrance (not being able to read the words) and turns it into an inference. https://nowcomment.com/documents/109228?scroll_to=1077040 https://nowcomment.com/documents/109228?scroll_to=1077040 this solidifies not only the character's identity but has another parallel to superman as the sentence before superman accomplishes his first feat breaking down the door as the reader opens one by making an inference. Tue, 04 Sep 2018 09:51:57 -0400 Since the reader is not experienced enough he describes each picture as a paragraph. https://nowcomment.com/documents/109228?scroll_to=1077039 https://nowcomment.com/documents/109228?scroll_to=1077039 This emphasizes his limits, and sets up Superman as a symbol for achievement, for everything he does the reader is more inspired to learn how to read. How much does Superman inspire this reader? Tue, 04 Sep 2018 09:56:24 -0400
