Argumentative Essay About Cookies

To me, being invisible is like having an unlimited supply of your favorite cookie. In the beginning, you start slow, you are reasonable with your cookie consumption. You eat the cookie maybe after a meal as dessert but later you can 't get enough of the cookie. Eating one leads to another being consumed, which in turn leads to another, and all of a sudden, several months later, you’ve gained several pounds, probably have some type of sugar problem, and just the thought of a cookie will make you sick to your stomach. At first, glance, having Gyges’s ring seems like nothing could go wrong, but having too much of something can have it’s adverse effects. Just like the first days of the cookie, having Gyges’s ring and being invisible would be a …show more content…
I think that my pranks would get worse. I feel that at this point I would probably have a life changing moment with the ring. I would probably see something that maybe I shouldn 't have had, or I would probably have heard something. The curious mind inside of me would want to know more. At this point, I have tested the limits of the ring and have truly realized that no one can actually see me. With this realization, my vigilante mode would be awakened. I think I would sneak into places, trying to get more information. Information that with my visibility I would never even found. I would have no limits any consequences cause all the information would be with me and only me. No one has figured out that I have all this information, no one has noticed a change. My binge eating has started. My biggest obstacle would probably be not knowing what I need. To know what information I don 't know. The information will be my sugar, my drug and I want more, so then that 's when I think I would probably start following people. People, That in my mind have the information.

My invisibility has become my sugar addiction. Knowing that no one can see me, means that I know no one can stop me. I would probably want to keep my invisibility, but I would want to be made aware of. At this point, I would probably start blackmailing people in positions of power. I have so much information over them, that if they didn 't do what I asked, I would tell the people things that they have tried so hard to hide. My power would continue to grow and grow and no one could stop me because they can 't see me, they have no proof of my actions. Thinking about it too, I would probably be mad at society as well. I have a view of people as they truly are, not as what they seem to be to others. My self-titled self would believe that I was superior to these people, and believe that all the horrible things I was doing were probably in the good for our society. I mean I have the knowledge over everything, so I have the answers to

    “I am invisible, understand because people refuse to see me” (Ellison 3). An untouchable protagonist finds himself stuck in the shadows of the ever looming times of Jim Crow in Ralph Ellison’s book Invisible Man (1952). He does so through a sense of philosophically concise rhetoric. He acknowledges his invisibility as a byproduct of other’s choices and not his outward appearance nor his place within the futile caste system distraught by the Great Migration. Throughout Invisible Man, the nameless protagonist returns to this topic of invisibility through stories and angles of other characters, searching for his own unique identity which the reader may never fully comprehend.…

    In Invisible Man, the trope of invisibility functions as a criticism of racist American society, but it also encompasses the novel's subtext of gender erasure. Both black and white females throughout the novel are underdeveloped and virtually invisible. In the novel, both black and white women are purposefully stereotyped and are exploited mainly by white men who seek to further their own interests and desires thus adding to the identity or role these female characters have in society. As women are shown their blatant lack of rights and freedom as an invisible woman, they seem to be on par with black people for having the lack of full freedoms in a white-male dominated society.…

    Would we as a race, be more technologically advanced? Would we have all the resources we need at the tips of our fingers? Would we share each other’s thoughts, ideas and plans rather than competing with and diminishing our opponents completely? Would we create magnificent buildings and impossible inventions? Think of a society where crime was non-existent, where anyone could walk down any street at night completely lost in the stairs and galaxies above, oblivious to life around them, not worrying about the possibility of being mugged, beaten, raped or even all three!…

    The short story that I decided to analyze is Ralph Ellison’s Battle Royal. This short story to me implied how in essence, we are not so different from our (black people) slave ancestors. A quote in the story where he says, “I am not ashamed of my grandparents for having been slaves. I am only ashamed of myself for having at one time been ashamed.” This quote epitomized the whole short story for me.…
