AP Lit: Invisible Man Homework

Hello folks...for tomorrow:

In the prologue, we meet the narrator, the invisible man (x). What can you tell about him? More specifically, cite two character traits evident in the prologue and explain them.

For each, make sure to:
Say it (Topic Sentence)
Show it (Textual Details)
Explain it (Your Commentary)

Also, today in class we did the following:
  • Listened to Louis Armstrong's "Black and Blue" (we'll discuss it further tomorrow)
  • watched a video gamish version of the prologue that I purloined from YouTube (if you'd like to see it again, do a search for "invisble man ellison" and it's like the second or third entry. I'd embed it here but I can't access it through school.
  • Read the beginning of the prologue in class in preparation for tomorrow's discussion.
  • Lastly, we discussed the overall structure of Invisible Man. See the illustration below to compare the major works we have discussed so far this year.
