From cartoons to video games, boys are bombarded with stereotypes about what it means to be a boy, including messages about violence, risktaking, and perfecting an image of just not caring. Straight from the mouths of over 600 boys surveyed from across the U.S., the authors offer parents a long, hard look at what boys are watch ing, reading, hearing, and doing. They give parents advice on how to talk with their sons about these troubling images and provide them with tools to help their sons resist these mes sages and be their unique selves.

Download or read book Superman on the Couch written by Danny Fingeroth and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are so many of the superhero myths tied up with loss, often violent, of parents or parental figures? What is the significance of the dual identity? What makes some superhuman figures "good" and others "evil"? Why are so many of the prime superheroes white and male? How has the superhero evolved over the course of the 20th and early 21st centuries? And how might the myths be changing? Why is it that the key superhero archetypes - Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man, the X-Men - touch primal needs and experiences in everyone? Why has the superhero moved beyond the pages of comics into other media? All these topics, and more, are covered in this lively and original exploration of the reasons why the superhero - in comic books, films, and TV - is such a potent myth for our times and culture.>
Download or read book Gen written by Jonathan Edwards and published by Seren. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gen is the eagerly awaited second collection by Jonathan Edwards, whose debut, My Family and Other Superheroes, won the Costa Prize for Poetry in 2015. This accessible and critically acclaimed young poet has beaten off 'second collection syndrome' with a book of sharp yet beautifully warm and humane poems. The title refers to people of Edwards' generation and his recognition of the preoccupations that he shares of this age-group. There are several terrific love poems and poems of romantic yearning, which reflect this. In addition, Edwards further mines his family for writing which is at once intimate, generous and wry. 'Harry Houdini on Newport Bridge, 1905' relates an anecdote where his grandfather, aged 15, makes mischief in the watching crowd. And 'My Father Crashes a Car, 1965' is a similarly warm and slightly surreal retrieval of a memory from his father. Several of the poems in Gen have already won prizes, and the book must be a contender for more shortlists. Whatever the prize judges think, the poetry reading public will again warm to this poet. Winner of the People's Choice Award, Wales Book of the Year 2019 'As always Edwards' writing is at once bold and sweeping whilst also managing to maintain a homely and intimate voice that feels personal.' – Ben Ray Throughout the collection, demotic patter is combined with virtuoso craft. What can you say about a sonnet like 'On Hearing You Have Lost Your New Love', at once bitter, tender and true? What can you say about a gut punch like the ending of 'Aberfan'? Or about a title like 'Samuel Taylor Coleridge Walking from The Queen's Head, Gray's Inn, to Honsby's and Co., Cornhill, to Buy an Irish Lottery Ticket, November 1793'? I will say this: Gen is a vibrant, brilliant book, and Edwards is one of my favourite writers. – Joe Caldwell Edwards shows a new breadth of vision, and the ability to encompass tragedy. His poems about Aberfan and Tryweryn have the air of instant classics. – The Lonely Crowd
