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.
Chapter 5
1) The rhetorical argument behind the comparison to the moon to a white mans bloodshot eye was that although they both may seem high and mighty, they eventually fall and have to deal with their problems.
2) The tone of the first two paragraphs was important and profound.
3) The rhetorical effect of the italicized words was we were being asked to question it.
4) The phrase used to describe Dr. Beldsoe’s position was, “I watched him smiling at first one and then another of the guests, of whom all but one were white; and as I saw him placing his hand upon their arms, touching their backs, whispering to a tall angular-faced trustee who in turn touched his arm familiarly, I felt a shudder. I too had touched a white man today and I felt that it had been disastrous, and I realized then that he was the only one of us whom I knew -- except perhaps a barber or a nursemaid -- who could touch a white man with impunity”
5) Allusion is used in Rev. Barbee’s sermon when the narrator says Barbee is blind but we see him describing Buddha.
6) Simile is used to express the founders death when he said, “For against that great -- wide -- sweep of sable there came the burst of a single jewel -like star, and I saw it shimmer, and break, and streak down the cheek of that coal-black sky like a reluctant and solitary tear .”
7) Sound devices are used to connect the word black in the sermon by using dark imagery such a funeral and how the reverend wears black glasses.
8) The rhetorical effect of Rev. Barbee’s blindness is because although he cannot see, he is always talking about vision.
9) The images the narrator sees as he leaves he chapel is that when the reverend’s glasses fall of his face it is revealed he is blind.

4) Repetion is used in order to show the narrators shocked because he is in disbelief that he was called that.
