Your focus on the positive...Your sources are good.<br /><br />Your focus on the positive aspects of superheroes is fine; you are right to bring up the problem or fear of idol worship in tension with it. This is a all a little big & possibly vague, though - given the constraints of the class, I assume you'll want to focus more narrowly on Jimmy Corrigan (or possibly another book/event/problem beyond Jimmy Corrigan in addition) than your proposal really makes clear.<br /><br />If that's the case, then it's really an interesting challenge. JC *seems* to be far more of a satire of superheroes than of anything. So seeing an argument, rooted in JC, that we should emphasize the positive value of the idea of the superhero (presumably including in Jimmy's case) is interesting and demanding. <br /><br />So is it *Jimmy* who benefits from the idea of the superhero, then? Or is it the reader?<br /><br />To reword everything: the approach is interesting but dangerously broad. It will be interesting, though, to see you work on Jimmy Corrigan - just find and keep a narrow focus.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16302919444091859459noreply@blogger.com
