Ok so I have been behind with postings and I know I now need to make up 3 from my count. This post is the one that is supposed to be at least 2 pages long. It has to do with the ungodly amount of reading we had to do for The Invisable Man so yea a couple books ago. I’m going to try and do my best and work off of my memories of class discussion and what I read of the book to write this crazy long blog along with the other two I need to write. So where we left off the narrator was in the mist of the the whole thing with the brotherhood. I must say I’m glad were done and over with this book because yea I’m over it. It seems like a great majority of the book is about the narrator’s experiance with the brotherhood. When it turns out that the brotherhood does not even want him there or care about him. This is in my mind the whole reason why the book is called the Invisable man, the narrator feels invisable and does not know where he belongs. All throughout the book the narrator is trying to find his place he goes from being in college to working in a factory to being in this brotherhood. None of these places are where he belongs however. The brotherhood just seems to get our narrator in more and more trouble. From the rally for the evicted couple that starts a riot to the time the narrator gave a speech to a women’s organization and ended up sleeping with a married women and almost being caught. This brotherhood thing is just not for him. The group just seems to use him for a lacky and does not seem to have any real concern for him or his problems. Let alone it is just annoying to read about this whole thing because it just seems to go on and on and on. Like we get it you don’t belong with these people one chapter would have been enough maybe two but really Ellison you over did it with this thing!!!! Also what is up with the narrator and carrying around this briefcase full of objects like he has that broken statue thing and something else when at the end of the story he only ends up throwing it all away neways so really what is the point of it??? Then the whole thing with the yams and how at first its like the best thing in the world to him but then when he eats another its like ehhhhh whatever, yea I don’t get that either it really is random!!! I guess we could just say this is yet another crazy book that probably should be in the canon but isn’t!!!
For this blog I commented Amanda Lea’s Blog and Catilin’s Blog!!!!!
