“Maybe dats your pwoblem too” is a poem written by Jim Hall. In this poem the speaker is Spiderman. Spiderman doesn't want to be Spiderman anymore and just wants to live a normal life just like anyone else. He states all of his problems and he does it in a funny accent that amuses the reader making them want to read on. He does this in almost every line of the poem. He has almost has an accent that sounds similar to Elmer Fudd’s from Loony Toons. This makes the poem extremely comical witch I have never seen before in a poem. It is a free verse poem meaning that it follows no pattern. I am not sure if it is an epic poem or not. The only reason i think this is because Spiderman is known as a hero but he is not portrayed as one in this
The poem is written in the style of free verse. The poet chooses not to separate the poem into stanzas, but only by punctuation. There is no rhyme scheme or individual rhyme present in the poem. The poems structure creates a personal feel for the reader. The reader can personally experience what the narrator is feeling while she experiences stereotyping.
First of alll, the poem is divided into nine stanzas, where each one has four lines. In addition to that, one can spot a few enjambements for instance (l.9-10).

Let’s discuss a little bit of comic book history for starters. The most iconic superhero in all of American comic book history has got to be Superman. He was created near the beginning of superhero comic books and debuted in Action Comics #1 in 1938[1]. He would remain as the blueprint for many superheroes for years to come as the atypical white American male. But as the years go by there were comic book heroes that came out that go against this archetype such as Wonder
The most noticeable aspect of the structure of the entire poem is the lack of capital letters and periods. There is only one part in the entire forty lines, which is at the very end, and this intentional punctuation brings readers to question the speaker’s literacy. In fact, the speaker is very young, and the use of punctuation and hyphens brings to attention the speaker’s innocence, and because of that innocence, the
The poem told the story of a man who is inhibited by language, and has never quite had the ability to articulate his thoughts and feeling through words. It is said that his family members have tried
Some examples of how it has a rhyme scheme are like, “ My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still, my father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will¨(Whitman 376). Also another example is how a few sentences end with the some lettering of like one like done and won. Some examples of figurative language in this poem are how he talks about his Captain lying still and dead on the floor because of how much detail he uses when he talks about it, another would be how he talked about his father having no pulse or will (376). Also you can tell that the author has a very emotional tone in this poem because of the way he talks about the
The tone of the poem is described as a weary, self-depressed outlook. He is uncertain about life and his place in it. T.S Eliot uses the
Collapsing to his knees, Batman admits defeat at the hand of comic book legend, Spider-man. Throughout the years, many people have argued about whom of these two super heroes is better. Both Spider-man and Batman have their own unique stories, abilities, and set of super villains and no one can argue that both aren't exceptional super heroes. However, through proven facts, statistics, comic books, television shows, and movie references determine for all who the better super hero is between these two. If were to ever happen, in a fight to the death, Spider-man would destroy Batman with his marvelous super powers, courage, and intelligence.
Being a hero means that one can show courage when it comes to facing a problem. It is a person who helps others in many ways, such as a person in danger. In the modern era, the creation of superheroes have become popular when it comes to producing films. Viewers can choose their favorite heroes due to the idea that there a many of them. However, most fans argue which superheroes are better. Two of the most popular superheroes are DC’s Batman and Marvel’s Iron Man. Although Batman and Iron Man are loved by many viewers because of how they help people in danger, they still demonstrate imperfections which can cause viewers to dislike them. However, both superheroes share similarities and differences between themselves. Batman and Iron Man have
In conclusion, Spider Man is a very unrealistic super hero. There is no way someone would put their family and friends in danger by being the city’s super hero. The police and government would surely have you arrested and/or killed for making unwarranted arrests. No matter how unrealistic Spider Man is, he is the most realistic of all the other heroes.
Firstly he uses a sharp contrast in his tone. This is particularly evident in his poem 'September 1913'. He starts by attacking the greedy uncultured people of Ireland, especially the shopkeepers who “add the halfpence to the pence”. He uses adjectives such as “greasy” and “shivering” to help portray his feelings of disgust and vexation. This gives the stanza a reproachful tone. At the end of the stanza he introduces the refrain:
Towards the end of the poem , he starts sounding like the optimistic Hughes we all have come to know and love.
The Lone Ranger, Zorro, Batman, Superman are some of the characters that we stereotypically constitute as heroes. They are known to fight with courage without fear of death. They destroy the enemy within a blink of an eye. They fight using their own body strength, superpower, or some kind of weapon. They come to the rescue miraculously and leave without a trace. They are mysterious. We are unable to identify who they are underneath the masks and disguises. Yet, we praise them and ignore the real heroes that surround us regularly, ordinarily. “All of us …like to believe that in a moral emergency we will behave like the heroes of our youth, bravely and forthrightly, without thought of personal loss or discredit” (O’Brien 39). In other words, we are quite oblivious to the ordinary people of the world that are, in fact, the true heroes.
