Review - Book Report/Review Example

Teacher In Sherman Alexies essay "Superman and Me," what are some examples, s, and details that Alexie includes from his childhood? How do these make the essay come to life? Does the beginning of the essay engage you and make you want to read more? Why or why not? Alexie recalled from his childhood how he came to love books which led to him becoming a writer. He also used the character of superman of how he first learned to read in the opening of the essay that made it engaging to the reader because most of his readers can relate to the character.

It is often difficult to make the topic of reading interesting but Alexie made it interesting by using the analogy of paragraph as a fence that held not only words together but also other things. In fact, his world is separated by paragraphs although they are link together by some sort. Through this seemingly odd analogy reading became interesting. The essay was engaging because it focused on the human aspect of reading. That reading is not only about being educated but can in fact save lives.

It saved his and he also wanted to save Indian children. The essay of Alexie underscored the importance of reading in a manner that is interesting and understandable to readers like me that I too would like to read more just like he did.
