I am ready __Invisible Man__ by Ralph Ellison. I think that it will be a very sad story with all of the hard times that they went through at that time in history. In the end I do think that he will be able to see the bright side of life.

So far i have not heard the main characters name. He is a very bright man and enjoys solving problems. He feels that no one sees him, they just walk buy and act like he is not there. I find it interesting how he loves light so much. (on page 23)

"It was a dream I was to rmember and dream again for many years after. But at that time I had no insight into its meaning." the main character said this after having another harsh memory of his grandfather's last words. I feel that this is important because he is greatly impacted by those words and it usually isn't a good impact. I believe that this leads to him trying to become an invisible man. If he never amounts to much then he won't become what his grandfather wanted him to become. This memory will most likely keep arising through out the story and has a strong impact on his life.

When he is injured on the job he goes around looking for something else. He ends up working for a group that supports blacks and leaves because of their curruption. __Rating__ I give this book a 3. I thought that the author did a great job wording his life but I didn't really get hooked on it. It didn't stay in one place long enough for you to really get to know what was going on. It started out with him being older and from then on is one big flashback which I didn't really like because it never really caught back up to the present. __Reflections__ I like wikispaces alot! Typing is much better than writing and allows you to make easy changes. It is also nice to be able to start discussions with other people who are reading different books.
