COMPOSITION 1

I want you to take time to ponder the following statement and, after reflecting on what it is saying and what you have experienced in this class, I want you to write a 2-3 paragraph response giving me your views and thoughts on both what the statement below is saying and relating it to your experiences in this class.

—DouglasWolk, in his book Reading Comics: How Graphic Novels Work and What They Mean, states, referring to the superhero genre, that:

—“Superhero comics are, by their nature, larger than life, and what’s useful and interesting about their characters is that they provide bold metaphors for discussing ideas” and bringing abstract concepts to life (92).

You should address this statement in your response.

For this essay you want to look closely at the following:

1. Is there strong thesis statement, one that clearly indicates what you are describing for us and why?

2. Is there a good and solid definition of superhero or supervillain or otherwise provided to us?

3. Is there good, strong research provided that helps lay out credible reporting on the topic?

4. Is there a good use of sources, integrated, cited, and explained?

– Check also for grammar and other proofing errors as well.

– Provide any constructive feedback you may wish to impart.
