Superman and Me sum it up:

a. Sherman Alexie is an Indian who learned how to read from a simple Superman comic book. He was encouraged by his father to read books and understood stories before reading the story. He now writes books and visits schools and supports indians to learn and read and write. b. I think he's writing toward the general public but mostly indian children who don't think they can. There is some vocabulary many younger kids don't know. c. The most reasonable answer I have is it was made to motivate other Indians not confident in being smart at school because of other kids.

let your voice be heard: From what he says I think he means that he's not going to let his life be controlled by other kids. He's saving his life from being ruined by what other kids are saying. He's trying to take reading and say 'I can do this and even though you say I can't that can't change who I am' or the books were teaching him that if he can do this then he can do anything else.

The picture with La Salle of the French flag represented the heritage, origin and country he sailed for. The thought bubble and log cabin was to symbolize the goal to settle in the U.S., the rest are in what he said. Bibliography for social studies voki:

UTOPIA: Step 2: In the paragraph on utopias I have learned a lot about utopian societies. I have learned there are economic, ecologic, politics, historic, religous and science and feminist utopias. If I lived in a utopia then it would be ecologic or scientific it would be a large area filled with a semi large house with cookies baking inside and everyone is at piece with one another. The problem with utopias are that they expose no fear, no will, no need to attempt or create, its already perfect if its your utopia and your missing something if you have no will or fear.
