Ellison's Invisible Man
[ send me this paper ]
Ralph Ellison's The Invisible Man is not
really invisible, as he explains in the prologue: 'I am a man of
substance, of flesh and bones, fiber and liquids--and I might even be
said to possess a mind'. This 5 page paper argues that the story tells
of the process used by one man to first recognize then reject the
occurrences of his life that are linked to the fundamental racism of
American society. It is through this process that he forms his own
identity. No additional sources are listed.

Family Ties in Harriet Jacob's 'Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl'
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper
discussing the violation of family ties as an anti-slavery argument. The very nature of the system
of slavery was such that families rarely were able to stay together. Most slave owners viewed
their slaves as "stock," to be bred in pairs that held promise of producing healthy, strong workers.
Linda Brent was unable to determine her own path in any aspect of her life aside from one
strategic alliance with a white man. If the family is indeed the basis of the successful society, then
that embracing slavery is doomed to failure. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
