Chapter 6-7 Question 4

I think that if you have powers then you are a super hero. If you are a good person that treats people nicely then you are a hero. A super hero is a person that has super powers and uses them for good. But A hero doesn't necessarily need to have powers, you just need to be a good person and help people that are in need.

Chapter 6-7 Question 3

No I don't think it's his responsibility to help other people, but he just does it because he is a good person. If you have super you should use them for good, and help people that need help.
If you don't then you would be a coward because you can help people but you just don't want to. I think that that is equal to a villain.

Chapter 6-7 Question 2

I think that the main idea of the graphic novel is about Spider Man getting powers, and learning how to use them. He gets the power to jump really high, sense things if it is dangerous, and he has super strength. He also creates webs so that he has another power to shoot webs. At the beginning, he doesn't really use his powers to help people, he just does it to help himself. I also think it is just the beginning of the series so that they just show Mary Jane and Peter ( the main characters) and the villain (the green goblin) frst before any of the action starts in the other books.

Chapter 6-7 Question 1

Chapter 1 Powerless:
I think that chapter 1 has a good title, because it is talking about Peter not having super powers, which makes him powerless. I also think it is a bad title because some people have never read Spider man books, or seen the movie or the shows. That means that they don't know he is powerless before he gets bitten by the spider. If I could give it a title, I would call it Super Powers

Chapter 2 Growing Pains:
This chapter has a good name, because Peter gets 'growing pains' and when he gets his growing pains he becomes much stronger and he gets powers.

Chapter 3 Wannabe:
I have no idea why the author named this chapter wannabe, he doesn't want to be anybody so I don't think this title is good at all. If I was to name this Chapter, I would call it Power and Responsibility because he gets lots of power to beat the boxer, but he needs to be responsible as well.

Chapter 4 With great power:
I like this name because he defeats the crusher, and gets rid of those bad guys. He should of stopped the other guy though because he has great power so he should use it to help people. If he only helped stop that guy then his uncle wouldn't die.

Chapter 5 Life lessons:
I also like this chapter's name because his uncle died and he learned lots of lessons.

Chapter 6 Big time super hero:
This chapter has a lot to do with his new power, his webs and he fights the bad guy the green goblin. I think that it is an appropriate name because of this, and I like it as well.

Chapter 7 Revelations/Secret identity:
This Chapter is names revelations in the table of contents, but on the real page it is called secret identity. I like the name secret identity because Peter actualy pretends that he is trapped under a desk so that the people wouldn't know that he was fighting the green goblin.

Chapter 4-5 Question 3

I think that if every body had super powers, than it would be like no body has super powers. It would be like in another world no body could see hear or talk. Then one person goes in there world, so they would be considered a super hero. But in that book, noone would have that super power because it is a creation not a power, and the spider was destroyed.

Chapter 4-5 Question 2

I would improve him by giving him super sight, because real spiders have eight eyes so they probably see very well, but Peter only has normal sight, so it would make sence if they gave him super sight. In the book he has super strenght, but in the movie he doesn't so I think that that makes him a better super hero.

Chapter 4-5 Question 1

One of the many uses for the 'webs' is you could use if for the structure of the buildings, to make it stable so it wont collapse. Now they use metal and wood, but if they used the molecular adhesive, then it would be much stronger. The problem is that they don't know if it will only last for a minute or forever, so they will have to test it first.
Another use for the molecular adhesive would be to hold things like picture frames, or structures on the walls or ceilings.

Chapter 1-3 Question 3

I think that if Peter told Mary Jane that he likes her, she would turn him down because she probably thinks of him only as a friend.

But if he also told her that he was spiderman, then I think that she would say she liked him to because he is super man and he can protect her. But she would also say no because she would be in danger.

Chapter 1-3 Question 2

I think that he chose to pick on Peter because they wanted him to be a very geekish person that is weak, has poor eye sight, and has no self-defence. Then suddenly he is very strong, and has awesome eye sight. Everyone thinks that they will get pounded if they bug him so they back off.

Chapter 1-3 Question 1

Early on in the book in chapter 1 Peter gets picked on by two bullies. He lets them pick on him, throw food on him and talk bad about him. If I was him, I would make them stop by telling them firmly, and telling the teacher nearest that they are picking on him.
