Wolfheart serves as an essential superhero in Elsa’s personal growth and safety. Before knowing The Monster as Wolfheart, Elsa looks up to him in the Land of Almost Awake as a brave, loyal, and selfless fighter. She remembers the tale of Wolfheart returning from the forest when Miamas needed him the most. “And that was the moment of Wolfheart return from the forests.

Used-car dealers are associated with many stereotypes. Many of them are untrue. These salesmen are usually just trying to sell cars to their customers while keeping them satisfied all at the same time. Unfortunately, most people choose to believe the common misconceptions that are among these car dealers. One misconception is that the salesmen strongly dislike internet customers. This way of thinking is false. Companies such as TrueCar are actually cost-effective marketing channels. Most car dealerships welcome online customers with open arms. The biggest misconception is that these dealers are driven by greed. Once again, this is false. They are people too. These people do not use tricks to close any deal. Basically, they are making sure that they are able to meet their sales goals. If they are not able to successfully achieve their goal, then a salary decrease or even job loss are possible outcomes.

Fredrik Backman said, “Every seven-year-old deserves a superhero” (Backman 1). Every child should have at least one superhero and children can find superheroes in anybody: neighbors, parents, and friends. In My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry, seven-year-old Elsa finds superheroes in her dad and her two neighbors. However, not all these superheroes were superheroes at the beginning. Throughout the novel, Elsa discovers these superheroes by discovering more about them.

You rarely win, but sometimes you do.” If a first grader was asked what a hero was, the majority of them would respond: Spiderman, Superman, Batman, or any other of the endless marvel superheroes. However, heroes can be anyone. They can be your mom, dad, brother, friend, a new acquaintance, or anyone and everyone. In movies and books heroes usually have special qualities otherwise known as superpowers. Superpowers such as super strength, invisibility, they can walk through walls, or even fly. But in the real world where superheroes and superpowers do not exist, qualities that a hero possesses are varied.

As we grow, these stories fill us with a sense of awe that we wish to recreate within ourselves, leading us to behave like these ever-present heroes.

As Scott Allison and George Goethals write in their article, “Most fairytales and children’s stories serve (...) [a] didactic purpose, showing kids the kinds of behaviors that are needed to succeed in life, to better society, and to overcome villainy” (Allison and Goethals, 1). It is essential to expose children to these exemplary role models as they are still developing their own set of ideals and

The youngest generation obsesses over gaining approval in a way unprecedented by the past. This obsession stems from the increase of narcissistic attitudes found in children, including overconfidence, a deep need for admiration, and a lack of empathy (Mayo Clinic Staff). The skyrocketing growth of social networking and the increase in the prevalence of superficial celebrities shown in the media only enhances narcissistic behaviors.
