Alexie claims that no matter the situations they were born into, they can still accomplish their aspirations. He supports this contention through his own experiences, reflecting upon how empowerment from reading and writing– particularly that which he garnered from reading the iconic comic Superman at the age of three– “saved” him from the failure expected from his race.
