Invisible Man

So far I feel that this book isn’t that bad. I think I like it better than the last book I read, At The Mountains of  Madness. This book seemed to get to the point a little better in the beginning, it didnt drag out like some of the others. So far the narrator of this book doesn’t have a name or anything. Its only known as the narrator. Im guessing that goes along with the title the invisible man. So far in the book too the narrator talks about his grandparents and how they were slaves and how they were freed after the civil war. That part definately interested me, i’ve always beeen interested in the wars and everything. While his grandfather is on his deathbed he talks about comparing black americans to warfare and saying how he felt like a traitor.  He also told the narrator to basically yes whites to death. Now the narrator lives like his grandfather  did. He’s basically haunted by his grandfathers words.  He then goes on to talk about his graduation speech which was pretty much saying that the key to blacks being successful is humility and submission. Then another thing that interested me was his part in the “battle royal” which was part of the entertainment.  Him and some of his other black buddies enter the ring with boxing gloves  and how a naked blonde woman with a flag painted on her chest parades around. Some whites tell them to look, others  threaten them.  Then they were blindfolded and ordereed to pummel one another. The narrator gets defeated in the first round.  After they get to take off their blindfolds and they got led to a rug covered with coins and a few bills all the boys go after the money soon to find out that a electric current runs through the , rug, during this all the white men try to get the boy to fall face first on the rug.  Also his speech  which largely quoted Booker T Washington was talked about a lot. So far I have found this all very interesting and a lot of it has also shocked me. I think it’s going to be a pretty good book, all though it does seem to be pretty long.
