Invisible Man Journal Entry #1 To me‚ the most interesting part of this novel so far is the interaction with Jim Trueblood and the story that he tells. The different reactions that Jim gets from white people and black people is especially interesting because the whites‚ upon hearing about what Jim did with his daughter‚ describe the act as something disgusting but to be expected of or typical of black people and yet they offer Jim support while the black community shuns him. I find it hard to

Life of Pi: Journal Response #1 The narrator of this book has his own view about zoos. He tries to make it seem as if his view is absolutely true and is scientifically proven and that he is 100% politically correct. According to him a zoo to an animal is like a home to a human. But I totally disagree with his view on the zoos. In the book the narrator’s view is totally opposite. He assumes and thinks that keeping animals in cages is normal to them and they don’t mind… He persuades us to think

Faulkner uses the same technique in his short story ”A Rose for Emily” when he creates the image of the protagonist by using what the people gathered at her funerals think about her. In both texts we can talk about multiperspectivism and about Faulkner`s ingeniosity in creating different types of characters. Vardaman needed to escape the chain of unfortunate events and situations requiring a high level of maturity‚ so he found a way to regain his childish balance by following buzzards after sundown in
