Sherman Alexie's short story, Superman and Me is about a young boy living on an Indian reservation who is constantly trying to defy stereotypes. The main idea of the short story is that Alexie defies those who patronize him and learns to read challenging books at a young age. He dedicates himself to his studies and learns to overcome many obstacles.
The correct answer for this question is this one: "FALSE." <span>Nonparallel structure can be corrected by splitting infinitives. The statement that is presented is not true because only parallel structure can be corrected using the method of splitting infinitives.</span>
In this story, a young woman who is “daughter and wife of a forester” is home alone with her mother. The daughter’s wife is serving in the French army; the father is in town drilling with the local militia. This young woman is strong and unafraid. When half a dozen Germans show up demanding to be fed dinner, she tricks them into her cellar – once, apparently, an underground prison cell – until the local militia can come to take them into custody. The young woman is represented as a fine example of patriotism, courage, and quick wits; the French should be proud of her (and her father certainly is, although it is implied that the leader of the militia is happy to take credit for the capture). The militiamen, however, don’t get an uncritical treatment. I will leave this part spoiler-free, but an unfortunate and avoidable incident highlights that they are less competent than our daughter-and-wife.
