"Superman and Me!"

The literacy narrative that I read was “Superman and me” by Sherman Alexi. This passage really showed me that being a good reader or writer is not just given to you. If you want to become a great writer or reader you have to be self-motivated. Something inside of you must push you to find out what your best ways to read and write are and how you can improve them. Sherman Alexi was very determined. He had it hard growing up as an Indian. Most people expected Indians to fail but he refused to quit. He feels that writers should not give up because it is possible to become a great writer. He also came back to encourage younger kids to never give up and that anything is possible. This story meant something to me because I never really liked to read until I found out that I could read about things that are interesting to me. By reading things that interested me it helped me improve as a reader which is similar to Sherman Alexi.
