Ellison was and did the same, of course.

I'm reading The Invisible Man for English class, like I'm sure 99% of Americans have done in the past.
Do you guys like the perspective on racism it provides? Basically the whole thing is about not following proper routes to get ahead, because white people will always hold him down. This is the Jim Crow era, by the way.
Also, do you find the way he describes himself to be akin to a conspiracy theorist? As in, when he says he's enlightened, and everyone else is in the dark, etc.

Ralph Ellison. Now get out.

What's his name?!? What's his name?!? I've got nothing on a name!
Come on, baby, what's the name?!?
WE THREW OUT HIS NAME!

>Martin Luther's shit was (name's on the tip of mt tongue, but can't remember)

>Acting this serious about AP Lit

Ah, those were the days.

OP. Sit down, jerk your dick, smoke a spliff, and calm the fuck down for a moment.

If the AP English exam is anything like it was in 2010, it'll be a breeze. You're graduating soon, you've probably been accepted into a few schools, and you've got years of student debt and lamenting your decision to study liberal arts ahead of you.

Just chill. Take it easy. Read the fucking book, have some funzies, fuck that weird girl who had a crush on you since 5th grade, and chill-the fuck-ax

Pic related: the book I wrote about for the AP Exams and got a motherfucking five. Just relax, man. It's all good.

Of course. You aren't a crocodile.

No excuses for starting off with bad lit on purpose.

Too bad he was invisible.
