I read books at recess, then during lunch, and in the few minutes left after I had finished my classroom assignments. I read books in the car when my family traveled to powwows or basketball games. In shopping malls, I ran to the bookstores and read bits and pieces of as many books as I could." 

I chose this text from Superman and Me by Sherman Alexie because I really enjoy reading, and in any of my spare time, you can usually find me reading.]]> 2017-02-08 19:52:49 UTC https://padlet.com/bests/a4khhe20m563/wish/152602670 20vickeryen https://padlet.com/bests/a4khhe20m563/wish/152602691 "I refused to fail.

Quote from "Superman and Me"
I chose this quote due to my interest in multi-genre novels or short stories like "Superman and Me". Joy plays into my feelings of the book's content. Desperation plays into my thirst to know what happens next.]]> 2017-02-08 19:53:18 UTC https://padlet.com/bests/a4khhe20m563/wish/152602882 20lucasgs https://padlet.com/bests/a4khhe20m563/wish/152602885 "I refused to fail.I was smart.

I chose this quote from Superman and me because, its questioning  the reason why the indians could remember a few powwow songs but didn't want to read.]]> 2017-02-08 19:56:30 UTC https://padlet.com/bests/a4khhe20m563/wish/152604022 https://padlet.com/bests/a4khhe20m563/wish/152605196 "I throw my weight against their locked doors.

I chose this quote from "Superman and Me" because he's not really trying to save their lives, he's just trying to make them better. I also like this quote because Alexie read Superman comics and obviously Superman in the comic is going to say "I am trying to save their lives." and Alexie was trying to be inspirational. ]]> 2017-02-08 20:00:50 UTC https://padlet.com/bests/a4khhe20m563/wish/152605501 20kallhiltds https://padlet.com/bests/a4khhe20m563/wish/152605541 i refuse to fail. i was smart i was arrogant. i was lucky]]> 2017-02-08 20:00:58 UTC https://padlet.com/bests/a4khhe20m563/wish/152605541 20adamssr https://padlet.com/bests/a4khhe20m563/wish/152605630 "He saw himself in her eyes, suspended in two shining drops of bright water, himself dark and tiny, in fine detail, the lines about his mouth, everything there, as if her eyes were two miraculous bits of violet amber that might capture and hold him intact." ]]> 2017-02-08 20:01:12 UTC https://padlet.com/bests/a4khhe20m563/wish/152605630 20williamsls https://padlet.com/bests/a4khhe20m563/wish/152606507  “We lived on a combination of irregular paychecks, hope, fear, and government surplus food” -Super man and me.
