Dan: I'm used to women flinching when they see my scarred face. When I open the door for Ljuba, I'm ready for it, but instead of fear or disgust, her eyes are filled with trust, like I'm her safe harbor in a sea full of sharks. When I notice the bags under her eyes, Ljuba admits to having nightmares. She won't tell me who haunts her dreams, but it doesn't matter. I'll guard her all night long if I have to. Then, I learn about the anonymous calls and appoint myself as her personal bodyguard. I'd take a bullet to protect this beauty, as long as she kisses the pain away. Ljuba: I had a handle on my nightmares until the calls started. Now, I can't sleep. Desperate to get away from it all, I decide to stay with my friend in a well-guarded house with personal security. The moment I see Dan, I know he's safe. He knows what flavor of food the stray kitten prefers, for crying out loud. He could never turn into a monster. Unlike some people I know. The more time we spend together, the more secrets I spill. Instead of judging me, Dan showers me with gifts–a bracelet of his own making here, a trip to the book village there. I spent my life living in the past, wondering what my life would've been like if everything hadn’t fallen apart. With Dan's arms around me, I want to live in the here and now. But my past is knocking, and I’m not sure Dan can save me this time.

Download or read book Writing Superheroes written by Anne Haas Dyson and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on an ethnographic study in an urban classroom of 7- to 9-year olds, Writing Superheroes examines how young school children use popular culture, especially superhero stories, in the unofficial peer social world and in the official school literacy curriculum. In one sense, the book is about children "writing superheroes"-about children appropriating superhero stories in their fiction writing and dramatic play on the playground and in the classroom. These stories offer children identities as powerful people who do battle against evil and win. The stories, however, also reveal limiting ideological assumptions about relations between people-boys and girls, adults and children, people of varied heritages, physical demeanors, and social classes. The book, then, is also about children as "writing superheroes." With the assistance of their teacher, the observed children became superheroes of another sort, able to take on powerful cultural storylines. In this book, Anne Dyson examines how the children's interest in and conflicts about commercial culture give rise to both literacy and social learning, including learning how to participate in a community of differences.
