Invisible Man Chapter 4-6 Review

Chapter 4
1. Because of the previous events, the narrator sees the college campus just as he saw the road. What he once saw as beautiful was now threatening. 
2. The narrator blames Trueblood for the entire series of events, and he blames the people at Golden Day for causing more traumatic events for Mr. Norton.
3. Old plantation manor houses were owned by rich white people but ran by slaves. The college is similar to one because the trustees are highly viewed there yet the school is for black people.
4. Dr. Bledsoe achieved power by gaining acceptance from white people. He did not completely disregard black people, but he was not largely focused on getting their acceptance. 
5. The mirror symbolizes the alter ego Dr. Bledsoe and the narrator puts on for white people. They hide their inner feelings and focus only on making Mr. Norton and other white people happy. The aquarium symbolizes the progress that black people had made during that time. Though Dr. Bledsoe was higher classed, he still was seen as a servant to white people.

Invisible Man Chapter 1 & 2 Review

Chapter 1
1)The line "a fair bird-girl girlded in veils calling to me from the angry surface of some gray and threatening sea" refers to Greek Sirens.
2)The grandfather is saying that the narrator should be submissive to the racism but continue being rebellious towards everyone.
3)Booker T Washington was both an American educator and an advisor to presidents. The narrator's viewing is significant because he is very educated and enjoys serving important white men as well.
4)He knows that he is put into the room for entertainment for the white men and that he is not supposed to have feelings towards the naked blonde (torture). He knows that the naked blonde is being objectified by the white men.
5)The fact that white men are getting their kicks at the expense of young black men show that assimilation, at least behind closed doors, has its limits.
Chapter 2:
1)The narrator needs to follow the "white line" as he is driving Mr. Norton around.
2)The statue is a white man figure and so it reminds the narrator that the school was built around the backdrop of slavery and segregation. Also it represents that white men are in power of social and educational systems.
3)The arrival of a white millionaire is sarcastic and sometimes even ironic.
4)Mr. Norton's initial description alludes back to a book about true educated human beings.
5)He fears the white farmer because since the farmer is poor, he does not have power in the white community but has all the power over the narrator (because he is African American).
6)T-O said there was no enthusiasm for his widow but there was for Trueblood's daughter and how Trueblood impregnated his daughter.
7) The statement foreshadows the situation of Trueblood and its uniqueness.
8) ‎If leaves the reader thinking about Mr. Norton's reaction. The question is whether Mr. Norton feels so passionately because he would never want this to happen to his daughter or if he relates because he did this to his daughter.
9) ‎The tone is innocent because Trueblood truly believes that he did not complete the act, it was his subconscious.
10) ‎The white community rewards the Trueblood family because it is the racial expectation, however the black community shames them.
11) ‎Aunt Cloe was going to give his daughter an abortion.
12) ‎The white community rewards him for falling into the racial expectations and making the black community look worse.
13) ‎Mr. Norton wants to live up to his race and like the other white people, so he gives Trueblood money.

Huckleberry Reflection

     The adventure of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain is an amazing book. Huck the main character, showed that he was discovering life on his own, did not want to be civilized, and did not want to be with neither his father nor a guardian . While Hulk decide to escape he had came across Jim a runaway slave which he already knew and began to adventure together. Them two having one another company grew upon each other and shaped themselves as a better human being. Huck learns alot from Jim and overall is a good person. Huck also admire Tom, because of how Tom was imaginative and comes from a family.
      This book was very interesting and had me anxious to read more. Is reading it made me feel as if I was there, you could picture every event happening in your head. The moral theme I had gotten from this book is that everyone is equal, and should be treated with respect. Racism and unfair judgment put is portrayed in the 1800's and sometimes still in today's society. Twine he made it so that everyone deserve the same opportunity in life and interact with Society. Overall, you could really learn many real life lessons and learn how to handle situations differently.

Entry 5

      My favorite tale was the Pardoner Tale because it was a good moral lesson to individuals. It was also interesting in had many themes. One theme was be respectful of your elders. This is a good theme because if the three rioters was more respectful to the elder man, they would have not met the death tree. Another theme was action speaks louder than words. The Three Brothers claimed that they were very close but they crossed each other out for some gold treasure. They had all three plotted on one another to kill one another so that they can be greedy with the treasure for themselves. Another thing was the love for money is the root of all evil. This theme is essential because the gold treasured had made the brothers turn evil against one another. The money had overshadowed the love for one another and made one another once to kill each other.

Entry 4

     Honestly on my in class essay I felt I did not do what I normally could do. I felt I did not meet my goal and was not focused. My mind was not focused on the essay and I felt that that was a reason I did not portray well. I am honestly upset about it but it's only an eye opener on what I need to do to improve my writing and thinking skills.
     One thing I need to work on it staying focused. Not only to stay focused, but to also keep my mind on the task and the essay as a whole. Another thing I need to work on it still plan different. I need to learn how to analyze the question and answer the question for what it is asking. Another way to improve my writing is by annotating and taking notes as I read any section, essay, paragraph, play, or book that I have to read. With these improvements that I am willing to make I feel that my writing will be much more successful.

Entry 3

     The ending of this tragedy was not shock. Edmund has really manipulated himself into having power over everything. At the end Lear character trait changes. Lear realized that Cordelia was the only real daughter. Lear started to care and wanted Cordelia to forgive him and he had begged for her forgiveness. This scene was ironic because Lear never had feelings for anyone else he never felt he needed anything or anyone and always had a non-chalant attitude.
     Also Lear did not want to fight for his life. He knew that death was coming, and didn't want to do anything but fix his relationship with his daughter Cordelia. This goes back into why you're always worth it hits 100 knights around. Without his Knights he did not know how to protect himself and fight for himself. This is also ironic because he was supposed  to be a strong and powerful King.

Entry 2 King Lear

     An ansul there was some upcoming conflict between Kent and Oswald. Kent did not like Oswald because he felt that Oswald had disrespected his King. Kent was trying to have a swords fight. Another event that had happened was Lear went to Reagan to go live in her kingdom. Reagan only wanted to accept 25 of King lear's Knights to stay there. I feel that Leah has some type of bond and he valued his 100 Knights and did not want to give them  up. I also think Reagan and Goneril was not accepting all of Lear's knights because they neither what really wanted to him to live with them. Lear honestly didn't want to live with Goneril anyways.
     Another assumption I made for act that Reagan wanted to help her father, but I feel that she was afraid that if she upset her father he will try to bash and curse her as if he had done Cordelia and Goneril. The theme of act 2 is deceit. This act Edmund was deceiving his brother Edgar and their father Glouchester. Also Reagan and Goneril had deceived Lear because  honest vibe was that they neither or wanted him to stay with them. Edmund was deceiving his father which he  portrayed as the better son only for his father will and possessions and spice and not of love.
