Why I would Suggest Reading Spiderman to Any Young Writer

After the late 90's, early 2000's movies, the term "with great power comes great responsibility" which is a pretty darn good code to help evolve editing.  However, another important theme of the series is Peter Parker doubting his life as Spiderman: a role that makes his schedule hectic, leads to falling through on plans, gets in the way of his sleep, is constantly making him see the world around him differently from friends and family... you get the picture.  Just like Shakespearean and Greek tragedies used larger than life characters (kings, gods, heroes, etc...) to create stories that would relate to many people, so does Spiderman.  And on a personal level, there is a sense of relief in knowing that he always finds a reason to continue what he feels compelled to do.
