Invisible Man: Reaction Journal

  • Chapter three

    Chapter three
    Mr. Norton got sick right after Trueblood told his story which leads me to believe that he had been holding in pain and secrets that he never got to suffer through. When he heard Trueblood's story he began to suffer.
    Because The Invisible Man was Driving Mr. Norton around, he was held responsible for anything that happened to him. Mr. Norton did not necessarily mean anything to him, but as The Invisible Man states in the book, his boss would fire him if he did not return Mr. Norton in top shape.

    In the same sentence the Invisible Man contrasts two buildings- one black, one white. He closes his eyes while walking down the forbidden road because he is imagining what it would be like if the road weren%u2019t forbidden.
    The Invisible Man explains that he is not the same man he was when he went to that college. He cannot remember a time where he walked alongside people of such high stature. He is not the man who attended %u201Ca flower-studded wasteland%u201D alongside %u201Cthose multimillionaires".

    chapter four
    The invisible man admits that he wishes he were like the people he hates at the college. He describes Dr. Blesdoe, and explains why he wants to be like him. Dr. Blesdoe is successful. He has more success than some white southern gentlemen. They can make fun and tease him all they want but he is more successful than them. He made himself more powerful than them, and no matter what they do, they can't ignore him. That's what the invisible man wants.
