chapters 6 & 7

-Each chapter of the graphic novel has been given a title. Explain why each title was a good (or bad) choice for the chapter using evidence from the chapter to support your answer. If you don't like the title, suggest an alternative.

POWERLESS-I think this was a great title because Peter was powerless to his powers when he was bit by the spider.

GROWING PAINS-I liked this title because he is growing accustomed to his powers and they are still hurting him.

WANNABE-This title is good because that was when Peter went in the ring with the wrestling icon and wanted to be like him.

WITH GREAT POWER-That was when uncle Ben told Peter that with great power, comes great responsibility so that makes it a good title.

LIFE LESSONS-This is a good title because that was when Spider-man caught the guy that killed uncle Ben completely out of rage.

BIG TIME SUPER HERO-That was when the monster first broke though the wall of the school, so it was a good title because that was also the chapter when Spider-man said "big time super hero coming through."

SECRET IDENTITY(REVELATIONS)-That was when Spider-man was fighting the monster and had to keep his identity a secret, so it was an awesome title.


-Explain the theme or "Main Idea" of the graphic novel.

The main idea of the graphic novel is that Peter Parker is trying to cope with regular teenage life as well as having a double identity as Spider-man.


Does Peter have a responsibility to help others because he has superpowers? Why or why not?

I think Peter does have a responsibility to help others because he has great power and as uncle Ben said it with great power, comes great responsibility.


Give your own ideas on what makes someone a hero.

A hero is someone who puts themselves in harms way to help someone. They do whatever they can to help them.
