Invisible Man Chapters 4,5 & 6

Chapter 4 1) The imagery in this chapter belie’s the narrator inner tension can be connected to the white line dividing a highway and he also used college and how it and the white line can be seen as dividing. 2) The narrator hates Trueblood because of what he did to his daughter, he also hates him because he feels as if he is affecting him in a way. 3) The effect of comparing the campus to a plantation is an elaboration of how although the blacks are allowed on campus the still suffer from the pretenses of the whites. 4) Dr. Bledsoe has achieved power by following his white predecessors and making sure he keeps them pleased. 5) The mirror and the aquarium are metaphors because they can both create distorted images, which would make a person lose their sense of self.

Blog Assignment #11

Dear Advice Column, My name is Grant and I am currently dealing with a dilemma. I am a school teacher, who has been assigned the task of transforming a man named Jefferson from a hog into a man before his execution. Jefferson is being executed for a murder he did not commit. And while on trial Jefferson was referred to as a "hog" I am doing this as a favor to his aunt Emma who had become stressed from this whole ordeal. My situation is, I am not sure how to properly handle the issue with Jefferson.  During my few visits with him he has been vague and unresponsive to my attempts to connect with him. For example when ever we bring him food he refuses to eat it. And him being called a hog seems to have had a major impact on him. For example whenever I talk to him he tells me it's pointless and it's even to the point where he even got on the ground and ate like an hog. I am not sure how to respond to him. What steps should I take to solve my problems.
