In the article “Superman and Me”, Sherman Alexie gives a biography of his life as a poor Indian boy who successfully self-educated himself through literature. Through the medium of past experiences as a minority with a strong hunger for learning, Alexie reminds everyone of the potential for an individual to overcome adversity through perseverance and diligence. With an informal tone pervading throughout his article, Alexie aims considerably at non-Indian children, hoping to give initiative on the power and importance of education for minority students like him. Despite being characterized as a minority in the past, he was able to break away of stereotypes on society as a result of his race. Ultimately his ability to erase conventional beliefs on the ethics of Indian children allows Sherman Alexie to successfully portray such a notion.…

“Superman and Me” is a brief overview of Sherman Alexie’s path in becoming a writer. Born on an Indian reservation with little to no money and three siblings, Sherman Alexie was not provided a bright future. He was expected to be un-sophisticated and un-social in school because that was the general discernment of Native Americans at that time. Alexie’s “Superman and Me” is indirectly intended for that same audience: the kids, on Indian Reservations, that are struggling in school and life in general and think all hope is lost. Sherman explains, “Then there are the sullen and already defeated Indian kids who sit in the back rows and ignore me with theatrical precision…’Books,’ I say to them. ‘Books,’ I say. I throw my weight against their locked doors. The door holds. I am smart. I am arrogant. I am lucky. I am trying to save our lives.” As you read deeper and deeper into this story, it is easy to realize a clear purpose in this piece. Sherman Alexie’s “Superman and Me” uses rhetorical strategies to present the argument that by reading he can become an model for Indians on reservation and fight the stereotypes associated with Native Americans.…

An instrument is a tool of music. Just like all tools it allows us to assemble pieces, in the case of music it allows us to build song. Some instruments can be very subtle and soft and quite melodic such as a woodwind, where as there are also instruments that are very powerful, such as a trumpet and become the heart of a song or symphony. But I believe there is only one instrument that can be both subtle and also be powerful. Belonging the family of chordophones, the guitar, is my personal preference or favorite instrument. From the time it was first discovered that a vibrating string tied over a wooden box could produce a pleasant sound, plucked instruments of the guitar family have existed. The way a guitar produces sound reflects technology itself. When a player plucks a string, the string vibrates and most of the energy is transferred to the sound box via the bridge. Resonance in the sound box and the radiation of the soundboard then amplify the weak sound of the string and carries it through the surrounding air making it audible to the human ear.…
