Welcome...and initial guidelines...

This blog will be used in the spring of 2008 by 80+ students at Drexel University to investigate the effects of Iraq on culture and the reverse. Our goal will be to better understand why the US is in Iraq, and to question whether literature can help us on this journey.

Weekly plans and other materials will always be posted in Vista, not this blog. So go to Bb Vista to get the discussion prompts and other instructions.

I intend this blog to manage our discussions and track our collective investigation.

You should have received an email from me inviting you to become a contributor to this blog. The email was sent Monday afternoon to your official Drexel email address.

Super Heros

In the past few years every time I look there was or was going to be another superhero movie out. This may be because of the time we are living in. As we continue our war in Iraq and other middle east areas I think these super hero movies will continue. I think this because in every single of these super hero movies there is a bad guy threating the town and then the hero comes and saves the day. Watching these kinds of movies brightens up everyones mood because they hope this will happen to us in the war I believe. They may seem that we are the super hero fixing the town in distress. Or maybe our government is the super hero saving our home town the United States. Many people can look at these differently and find different things but those are the few ways I see why super hero movies are becoming so popular among people these day.
