Chapter 7 study guide questions

          The literary device that is used when the vet tells the narrator to get out of the fog is allusion. He is telling the narrator to keep his eyed open and to stop looking over everything that is happening around him and pay attention to how he can manipulate the situation without really saying it that way.

          When the vet tells the narrator to be his own father he means that he will have to look after his self while he I away from home all alone. He will have to make smart decisions without the advice of others. He will have to be careful about the things that he does and says and make decisions that can have a huge effect on his life and the turn of his life events.

          The author uses Biblical allusion to describe the narrator's arrival in harlem. He compares the narrators experience to an experience in the bible.
         

Themes: The Invisible Man

         Some of the themes in The Invisible Man was Racism, playing pretend and doing whatever it takes to make it.
        
         Racism was shown when The Vet said, "They? Why, the same they we always mean, the white folks, authority, the gods, fate, circumstances, the force that pulls your strings until you refuse to be pulled any more. The big man who's never there, where you think he is." He was referring to "white men or people" that thought they had complete control of every aspect of African American lives.      

         Playing pretend was shown when the Vet told narrator to "Come out of the
fog, young man. And remember you don't have to be a complete fool in order to succeed. Play the game, but don't believe in it that much you owe yourself. Even if it lands you in a strait jacket or a padded cell. Play the game, but play it your own way, part of the time at least. Play the game, but raise the ante, my boy." Saying to him that he had to play the game that the he was supposed to play in order to get the success that he wanted to have.

          The presence of doing what ever it takes to make it is visible when the narrator decided to leave the south and go up North in order get what he needed to ultimately reach a goal that he had sit for his future. 

                     Connections:
           Racism can be connected to the poem "I, Too" because the are both based on events that have taken place around the same time. When Langston Hughes says, " they send me to eat in the kitchen when company comes." Is the same as when The Narrator says that the back of the buss was reserved for "Them" as in the Black's. This in both cases are racist because they are being treated without equity.
           Playing pretend can be connected to the poem Refugee in America when it is written that, "when the words like Liberty that almost make me cry. If you had known what I knew you would know why." He is saying that unless you have what he has then you would know why having freedom and liberty are important. That the Liberty and Freedom that others have are disguised as something else for them that they don't get the same freedoms and have the same opportunities that "whites" have.

Psalms chapter 10 verses 1-18

1 Why, LORD, do you stand far off?z
Why do you hide yourselfa in times of trouble?
2 In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak,b
who are caught in the schemes he devises.
3 He boastsc about the cravings of his heart;
he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.d
4 In his pride the wicked man does not seek him;
in all his thoughts there is no room for God.e
5 His ways are always prosperous;
your laws are rejected byb him;
he sneers at all his enemies.
6 He says to himself, “Nothing will ever shake me.”
He swears, “No one will ever do me harm.”f
7 His mouth is fullg of lies and threats;h
trouble and evil are under his tongue.i
8 He lies in waitj near the villages;
from ambush he murders the innocent.k
His eyes watch in secret for his victims;
9 like a lion in cover he lies in wait.
He lies in wait to catch the helpless;l
he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.m
10 His victims are crushed,n they collapse;
they fall under his strength.
11 He says to himself, “God will never notice;o
he covers his face and never sees.”p
12 Arise,q LORD! Lift up your hand,r O God.
Do not forget the helpless.s
13 Why does the wicked man revile God?t
Why does he say to himself,
“He won’t call me to account”?u
14 But you, God, see the troublev of the afflicted;
you consider their grief and take it in hand.
The victims commit themselves to you;w
you are the helperx of the fatherless.
15 Break the arm of the wicked man;y
call the evildoer to account for his wickedness
that would not otherwise be found out.
16 The LORD is King for ever and ever;z
the nationsa will perish from his land.
17 You, LORD, hear the desire of the afflicted;b
you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,c
18 defending the fatherlessd and the oppressed,e
so that mere earthly mortals
will never again strike terror.
    
                  In reference to Psalms chapter 10 verses 1-18 it says that the psalmist complains of the wickedness of the wicked. He prays to God to appear for the relief of his people. That we complain that God is far away from us when we are t he ones who are far away from him. That we get fought in traps by deceivers he takes from those who deserves and provides for those who do not deserve it. He does not worship God but deceives his people. He does not follow the rules and says that NOTHING scares him he says this even to his enemies. He tells lies to others and thinks no one will cause harm to him.. He takes the lives of the innocent and preys on the helpless. It also talks about how people commit to the word of the lord and how they surrender completely to him. That the Lord will break the hands of the wicked and that he will be the king forever and ever. That he will listen to his children and let no more harm come unto them.

King Lear No Fear

      King Lear No Fear was a very entertaining play to read. It has many moral and life lessons in it about real world situations. During the play you come across several different characters who are apart of a bigger lesson at the end of the play. You have a family of daughters and a family of sons. Two foolish and blind (not literally) fathers whom can not see the truth within there children's lies. I enjoyed reading the play along with my class mates and have learned many lessons from it that I hope will stay with me. So read the book and see if you enjoyed it as much as I did.

When he spoted his last whom looked confused and dismounted his house and walked towards his muse and got down one knee and said now my fair lady you will fall in to my trap

               

Women in the Middle Ages

        During the Middle ages women played a large role. Peasant women had many domestic responsibilities, including caring for children, preparing food, and tending livestock. During the busiest times of the year, such as the harvest, women would join their husbands in the field to bring in the crops. Women often participated in vital cottage industries, such as brewing, baking and manufacturing textiles. Women would also use a distaff for spinning flax and wool. Women living in towns had similar responsibilities to peasant women in the countryside. Just as rural women helped with their husbands' work, urban women assisted their fathers and husbands in a wide variety of trades and crafts, like helping with the production of textiles, leather goods, and metal work, as well as running shops and inns.
        They were expected to take care of the house and also the cattle if any. To bare children and also take care of them if they lived through childbirth. In this society many women became nuns to avoid the stress of childbirth. As many women were married off as teenagers. They were not allowed to be educated especially peasants but an Aires or princess was. These rules were extremely hard for midieval women to obtain power.
