According to Engle Superman represents a religious symbol. Engle mentions superman’s appearance as an angel with his cape which echoes its curve like angel’s wings. He explores Superman original name’s meaning as “all that is God” and k-n-t “I have found a son.” As a response, however, American society barely recognizes sacred icons because of its diverse religious beliefs would cause different and opposing religions views. As a whole, Engle believes that superman's iconography serves as the American guardian and a “nonsectarian” focus for religious response.

ALL RIGHT HOW ABOUT NOW


According to Engle Superman represents a religious symbol. Engle believes superman is a visitor from “heaven.” His appearance is like an angel with his cape which echoes its curve like angel’s wings. His name has a virtuous meaning “all that is God” and “k-n-t” “I have found a son.” Engle believes that superman is the American guardian. In relationship, however, American society barely recognizes sacred icons because its diverse religious beliefs would cause different and opposing religions views. On the contrary, according to Engle this hero serves as a secure “nonsectarian” focus for religious response, mainly among young.

'As a response' and 'As a whole' are not the transitional elements you need, since they do not explain how the ideas in the second and third sentences should be connected to the first two, which is the purpose of a transition. Also, if this is a summary, then you need to avoid the specific references to Superman's iconography and concentrate on Engle's general ideas.

According to Engle Superman represents a religious symbol. He asserts that American society barely recognizes sacred icons because its diverse religious beliefs would cause different and opposing religions views. For this reason Engle believes that Superman's iconography serves as the American guardian and a “nonsectarian” focus for religious response.

See? Now This paragraph only mentions general ideas, not specifics. The specific details you include belong in a paragraph that details Engle's ideas about the specific aspects of Superman's imagery that make him seen to be a religious symbol.

(Be aware that since I have no idea whether Engle makes the second claim or not, I cannot say whether "he asserts" is correct. If Engel does not make this claim, you need to include your source for this idea. Also, "American society barely recognizes sacred icons because its diverse religious beliefs would cause different and opposing religions views" is a poorly constructed sentence. For one thing, there is no difference between the terms "religious beliefs" and "religion's views". Also, what is the difference between "different" and "opposing"? I think something has been left out or misquoted/misunderstood.)

Below are some web sites that may be helpful in working with transitional words and phrases.

According to Engle, Superman represents a religious symbol. Engle mentions Superman's appearance as and angel with his cape, "..which echos its curve like angel's wings." He explores Superman's original name's meaning as "all that is God", and k-n-t (what is k-n-t?)" I have found a son." As a response, however, American society barely recognizes sacred icons, because (leave out 'of') its diverse religious beliefs would cause different and opposing religious views. As a whole, Engle believes that Superman's iconography serves as the American gardian and a "nonsectarian" focus for religious response.

None of it makes sense to me because I have trouble seeing why any one is arguing the fact that Superman is or is not a religious icon. Where Engles has produced some entertaining non factual facts that he may have twisted into reality, The true facts are that Superman is a made up character. And the society feels the need to defend all that. they are correct with the facts that when you put a religious label on an American Hero, it will cause an uproar of criticism from fans who just want a hero to idolize, without all of the religious mind control that comes with all that.Religion is one of society's major controversy's It is to divided to label as heroic.

I have to say i understood every part of it but k-n-t. I am the kind of person who can usually understand things when they're not put to me too well. I have to say, for a grade i wouldn't find it deserving an A, good information but you just had a hard time of making it flow and it made me think too much to understand it. I'm just a 16 year old kid, so I don't know too much, thats just what i would say. I'm not sure on ways to correct it besides making it flow, and i would agree to say: Accoring to ___ Engle, Superman represents a religious symbol. Thats all i can really say, best of luck.

With respect to Engle's theories on Superman, perhaps finding some interview material from the creator of the comic book pop icon can help shed light on matters.

Most all comic book and sci-fi heroes have a "yin / yang" approach to the ever constant battle between good and evil--where the Heaven sent forces of good battle the dark, evil entities from Hell.

Who cares what Engle says-pick up a Bible and see what God says.

Opinions of man are a dime a dozen, and they all pass with time. The Bible endures forever. It lasted over 2000 years and it will still be existing when Engle is buried.

The Bible is not easy reading at first. The New Testament is wonderful. Either you believe in Divine Scripture, that the Bible could not have been otherwise, or you don't. If you do, then here is the answer regarding the fruit. It was not just two people eating fruit that created sin. It was their decision to go outside of what God had given them. God is gracious, so much so that He gave free will. When He told Adam and Eve not to eat of the Tree of Life, it was because He knew at that time they would let evil in. So sin started with Garden of Eden, banishing them and into a world where evil was present. I hope this helps

It is saying that people are using Superman iconography as a substitute religious iconography in their lives. This theory stems from the more general idea that people need spirituality in their lives and will generate spiritual-type icons outside the realms of conventional religious imagery and significance.

More simply, if you don't believe in Jesus, superman can act like Jesus in your life because everybody needs Jesus.

And here I thought Jerry Siegal created the Man of Steel in 1938, and dreamed up all those wonderful adventures. Does Lois Lane know about this?
