In Bryan Dik’s article “Career Choice: Easy for Superheroes, Hard for Us: Spider-Man and the Power of Person-Environment Fit” (p. 233) his ideas are presented in a logical way. In paragraph one he starts by engaging his readers about what it would be like having superpowers and uses a popular character, Spider-Man (A.K.A Peter Parker). He uses Peter Parker as an example reminding us how awkward he was as a teen and how his transformation to Spider-Man may have changed his path in life. Dik reminds us of Peter’s hobbies or interest before the change such as photography and science.…
The idea of superheroes is surprisingly well fitting in this era, as it lies during a time of lies, anxiety and propaganda. Superheroes represent a symbol of hope that citizens were able to look up to, when normal humanity had devastated itself in the destruction of war. The helplessness and paranoia of the time had influenced not only the people of the time, but also the literary works.…
J.L. Coalwell's book Amber Grey: calm before the storm, is about a girl who is born with special powers. She has to learn to live with the powers, while not letting anyone know about them. I'm not done with the book yet, but I think a them/purpose of this book is: we are all special in some way. Also, another theme could be: we have to either learn to live with our problems or fix them.…

Have you ever thought what you would do if you had super human powers and the ability to do nearly anything? On a class trip to a nuclear laboratory, Peter Parker was bit by a spider that had been genetically modified to increase strength, speed, and capabilities. He did not realize that he had been bitten by the spider until he saw the unusual welt on his hand grow. He soon realized that he had these super human powers and, as a science protégée, he was intrigued by his super strength. Peter was empowered by these super powers and realized that he could help others and stand up to harmful people, as he knew all too well what it felt like to be a victim at the hands of bullies. He also gained much self-confidence and was able to approach…
Former successful Olympian, Gail Devers, once said “Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication” (Gail Devers, Brainy Quotes). Dever’s words resonate as she inspires those who usually let obstacles keep them from chasing their dreams. As children with an overactive imagination, nothing seems out of reach. Somehow, as we grow older, we begin to notice our strengths and weaknesses and we end up letting go of our old dreams and moving on. Growing up, I fanaticized over what I would do as an adult. Those fantasies ranged from a world-famous pop star to President of the United States. Through all those times of make-believe speeches and singing into a hairbrush, one of my…

When I was a kid, growing up in the North Side of Chicago and being picked on by bullies, I prayed for superpowers. Like Superman, I wanted to be able to fly faster than speeding bullets, to be more powerful than locomotives, to leap tall buildings at a single bound. Mainly, I wanted to punch bullies in the stomach so hard that my fist came out of their backs.…
Next write down what it would MEAN to you to have those things. How will it change your life? Again, be specific.
