Superman: Not So Tough



  1) Trying to start the research was a bit time consuming and i suggest to start the research right after the assignment is given because then you have much time to think about what you're going to write and to find the sources that you need for the research. Starting off with Part 3 is the best thing you can do because it is the most important and it is what you learned about the research. After working on that part then it is a lot easier to write the rest of the parts. Manage you time very carefully because literally time flies and it is better to get your head together and start writing, researching for those sources ASAP. Make sure that there is enough time to go over your own paper because you will find things that don't make sense and you need to be clear about what you are trying to say. It is not hard at all, all you have to do is manage your time carefully and you will finish the researched paper in no time. I would have started the paper earlier if i would have known how hard it was overall to write it and search for the information so get your head together and start writing and searching as soon as the assignment is given!

2) My topic was about how Superman doesn't follow the male gender role and that he has a feminine side to his character. Most people would think that he is only masculine but you will be surprised when you figure out that he also has a lot of feminine features/characteristics.
       I found two great books in the CSULA Library that talked about masculinity and femininity and they are:
         -- Inclusive Masculinity by Eric Anderson
         -- Popular Culture by Carla Freccero
         
         and of course it would be GREAT to analyze both of the Superman films:
         -- Superman 1978 version
         -- Superman Returns 2006 
            you would have to carefully analyze these films and Superman's character and you will find a lot of important information.
