Democracy and personal rights are a key component of American society and belief system, but citizens have begun to take the liberties given to them for granted. They have been around for so long no one can imagine society without them. Bryan Rittgers takes on a sarcastic and witty tone in his satiric essay in order to portray the irony of undervaluing the importance of rights to normal American citizens.

Alexie is seen as someone that almost resembles an alien in the eyes of his society.
The use of personal anecdotes allows for readers to relate to him allowing for pathos, and ethos to be established, as the sense of authenticity and relatability helps connection between the writer and the reader to form. The use of allusions or references to superheroes helps strengthen the emotional bond further as he taps into the reader’s existing knowledge and experiences making them feel prideful of their knowledge, furthermore, it also highlights the cultural significance of superhero culture, the narratives, and morals that the stories teach, emphasizing a logical perspective. By projecting himself as knowledgeable and relatable in the essay it builds credibility and a foundation of trust to be formed. Moreover, the audience was well targeted to an older, more educated audience as the concepts and critical thinking are required to understand the essay allowing for the writer to communicate appropriately and effectively. Finally, the essay's structure enables a thorough examination of the topic, as the readers are led through Chabon’s thought process, and the main argument is reinforced by the flow of ideas that result from the progression of personal anecdotes, and general observations about superhero costumes.

One such example is when Equality says “The secrets of this earth are not for all men to see, but only for those who will seek them,” to reveal that Equality starts moving towards his goals (Rand 25). This is shown in the quote when Rand uses the words “only for those who will seek them,” to express the idea that not everyone is capable of achieving their goals except those who follow their own desires and step out of their comfort zone. An example can be seen when Equality decides to pluck up the courage and spread his knowledge to the people of the council knowing there will be serious consequences to his sayings in which he says “We give you the key to earth! Take it, and let us be one of you, the humblest among you. Let us work together,”(Rand 36).

Gifted with incredible endurance and super strength, the ability of flight, and an impeccable moral compass, Superman is the quintessential superhero that Americans of all ages have admired and looked up to since his conception in 1938. In Brad Bird’s 1999 feature animation The Iron Giant, the fifty-foot metal protagonist is no exception. Hiding out in a barn, he peers at an issue of the Superman comic book like an amused child with his eyes wide and mouth agape. His closest human companion, nine-year old Hogarth, sits before the giant and explains to him, “Sure, he’s famous now, but he started off just like you! Crash landed on Earth…he only uses his powers for good, never for evil.”

When the United States addresses this issue in legislation and helps implement more specialized schooling for boys this issue will be resolved
One example of this is Mr. B. B. Underwood. Mr. B. B. Underwood is a somewhat racist man who is furious over Tom Robinson’s death. On page 275 it is quoted “He linked Tom’s death to the senseless slaughter of songbirds by hunters and children, and Maycomb thought he was trying to write an editorial poetical enough to be reprinted in The Montgomery Advertiser.” A another example of this is on page 174.

In this article, “Why We Love TV’s Anti-heroes,” the author Stephen Garrett argues that in today’s society our whole perspective of heroes has changed since the mid-twentieth century.
