These book at the time seemed to be at the time pretty non-discriminatory and innocent. In hindsight, while they weren’t particular offensive they also didn’t do a very good job of exposing me to a variety of perspectives. The books generally perpetuated societal “norms” for gender roles, and did in no way shape or form expose me to different cultures of lifestyles.

Comic books were a fun way to enjoy reading. The stories were easy to follow and the characters had a lot of history and background. There is a virtually limitless amount of reading that can be done. Comics Book however had primiarilary straight white heterosexual males in the role of the heroes.

This is why I came to like math so much, for a lot of math their is a clear answer or at least some sort of goal for what you want to prove. Math is a lot more about the logical dissection of a problem, where reading and writing require a creativity I’ve never been able to master.
