Superman and Me

"I am breaking down the door."

Today in class you started discussing the metaphors used by Sherman Alexie in Superman and Me. I also asked you to consider the syntax and the rhythm of the language. My hint to you was that these two are related. Please blog your analysis of this little essay in the terms discussed above.

In addition, please blog your answers to questions 1-4;7-8 in the same blog post as your thoughts above. Another hint: questions 5 and 6 will help you answer the slightly more vague directions above.

This is a short piece. Read it again. Think both big picture and detail.
