Invisibility...
I don't know what everyone is talking about... I personally enjoy invisible man. At least for the first 200 pages that I've read... It's an extremely interesting novel. At least the stories that are told are borderline RIVETING. I mean sure, you have your gross line every once in a while but on a whole, at least it is entertaining. I can sort of relate with the main character. I know that sounds odd, but I believe that at some point in everyones life, they are a little bit invisible. I do not mean to sound like a sad sap from The Princess Diaries, but I can understand his type of invisibility. It is as though you are just going along with the waves of live but not really riding them. Boogy boarding the waves of live but not surfing them and carving out your new path. Sure, boogy boarding is fun, but when you can surf, you are definitely going to leave your boogy board at home. The only issue is that some of us like being invisible. I believe the protagonist in Invisible Man actually partially enjoys being invisible. He likes the fact that his respect and honor to white people has gained him a spot in college and the ability to be better than he could be otherwise. I also think that there are great things to be learned outside of the box. I am not sure that people who live outside of the box are the more happy than people who live inside the box, but people who live outside of it seem like the types who would always be trying to prove that they are better and their lifestyles are better so it seems like a fact. Anyway, I'm totally invisible, but I like it. I go to school, I get good grades, I try to be respectful to my parents/teachers/trainers. And I enjoy my life. I like the strict scheduling and the ease of always knowing where you belong and what you are supposed to do. Yes, I have thought of switching to the dark side. After all, it gives you more power and you can become more powerful than a Jedi, you can be strong and be a sith lord! Woah, off topic. But anyway, I am sure that the main character is going to break out from his "boring life" and become some kind of I hate whitey dude and start some rally or something... I'm calling that early. But for now, I love this kid1! He gets stuck in the most awkward situations and it makes me laugh because it reminds me of my life. When he starts getting all depressed and brooding, I'm going to be a little upset and wish it would go back to his straight laced awkwardness. Anyway, it had to be expected that I wouldn't find the gross sections that bad because I did read The Red Tent... Nothing is shocker for me anymore. THAT IS FOR SURRRE.
