The Invisible Man

I feel very deeply that the issues touched upon in this novel are very much still current views. Also, just as the narrator searches for his "identity" with his friends, with the college he attends and in the brotherhood. It seems funny that our generation does the same thing. It's not easy making a transition from high school into college ... sometimes you don't know a single person in the new town/school you're at. It's very hard to find exactly where you belong and what "identity" to assume. However, I admire the courage the narrator shows throughout this novel.

Ethnic issues discussed in the novel are definately still around. However, it seems as if there are still a lot of ignorant people out there that still look down upon difference races and such. It's pretty sad that we still all just can't get along. It seems that after 9/11 racial profiling has stepped up in the United States. Of course the people of the U.S are going to be angry and judgemental to people that look muslim/middle eastern. The homosexuals of the United States are also under heavy discrimination. I just think we as people need to work through these issues of race, it's really no big deal. Just because another human being was born in a different country and looks a little bit different than you. If we can overlook the issue of race, I think our country will flourish once again.
