It has been forever since I've seen Kader!

So I called him up and told him I had promised him a 3d movie and I intended to keep that promise.
I told him we would need to make sure it was educational...so we went to see the Avengers.
I mean, cmon, that is total Americana. Captain America, The Hulk, whoever Scarlett Johanson is, Iron Man, Thor (?)...Isn't he from some kind of Norwegian mythology? I don't really know how he fits in...But still. The fact remains: this is Marvel comic books meets Hollywood- a sex and action combination unrivaled. And it's in 3D.
Anndd, I called a taxi for Kader, giving him his first-ever ride in a taxi.

Oh and in the movie, there are even subtitles in places...totally mixes up your learning. Intensive audio-visually, extensive in reading...This was scholarship at its finest.

The movie really was an awesome experience. I explained to Kader how huge a deal comic books were to some people and how I'd only grown up on a few- Archie comic books; the funnies in the newspaper, of course; Calvin and Hobbes...I'd missed the boat on Marvel. I told him a movie like this was sure to bring out an opinion for any fan of comic books.

Afterwards, we crossed Kleman Plaza and headed to 101 for a snack. Since I'd taken care of the taxi and tickets, Kader kindly treated me. When the bill came I saw my first-ever $1 coins! Kader said he'd seen them only in New York and let me keep one as a present. Mine has a picture of Franklin Pierce on the back.

Kader told me he's applied to go to TCC in the Fall, and is waiting to hear back. We toasted (with water) to that. He is not taking English this summer, but I let him know that I was still available for tutoring.
We voted unanimously that tutoring via 3D movie was the best kind of tutoring.
