Hello, my name is Joshua Jackson and my favorite superhero of all time is Spider-Man. When I was younger I always have loved this character and I feel like I can relate to this character a lot. This week I have been watching multiple Spider-Man films and I notice how Peter Parker, also known as Spider-Man, how both of our lives are very identical in my opinion. For example I have never really had a dad who has been there in my life but I would say that my fatherly figure would be my PaPa. Peter’s fatherly figure was his Uncle Ben who helped raise him.
My PaPa died near the end of my graduation and I felt like I had nobody to compare myself with, until I watched the first Spider-Man movie made in 2003 featuring Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man. All my life I have felt like to have a father, they have to be your biological father and when I compare myself to this character I don’t feel bad about calling somebody my father because to Peter his Uncle Ben was like a Father to him.
From this I learned that you don’t have to be biologically related to call someone your father or mother. One of my friends I have known for eight years now,and ever since we have met he just feels like a brother to me. I have known him since first grade and I have been cool with him ever since. When people would always ask whether we were brothers or not I would just get nervous cause I felt like I would be lying if I said we were. The one thing that I have learned from my PaPa is that family is someone who loves you unconditionally and supports you even when it’s not easy.
I feel like people don’t talk about these topics much these days because it’s never really brought up. Well, whoever this is, if you’re going through a similar experience I hope you could relate. Most of all stay safe and stay positive.
