I'm pretty sure i'm the last to blog and as i was scrolling through the blog i noticed that almost everyone referenced the Adesnik article! I must be added to the bunch. I must say that the connection used with the Spider-man metaphor was brilliant. My favorite quote of the article is when Adesnik talks about how before becoming "Spider-Man", Peter Parker devoted all his time to "academic pursuits" such his love for science. Adesnik says, "although nominally an accident, the spider bite is a metaphorical expression of the American faith that knowledge is power and science is the engine of progress. Initially taunted because of his devotion to science, Parker ultimately becomes all the more powerful because of it."
