You might be wondering why I think the superpower flight is better than the superpower invisibility, well in this essay I will demonstrate why the superpower flight is 150% way better than the superpower …show more content…
Which superpower can benefit me without it being a criminal act? Here is another question, which superpower will people be easy to accept without them being frightened? In my opinion, having the superpower invisibility is useless, because the advantages are insignificant compared to the superpower flight. Having the superpower flight is so beneficial to our everyday life, other than the superpower invisibility. Having the superpower 'flight, or invisibility' which one can save your life? That's a great question, the superpower flight can save each one our lives in so many ways, say for instance you are in a plane crash you don't need a parachute to help save your life, you can use your superpower and fly to safety. Let's say you're in a middle of nowhere you can fly to the nearest point to get help.

You can become famous because people will want to get to know you and take pictures with you, they will consider you as a superhero. But having the superpower invisibility, people will look at you different and discriminate you, and be afraid of you. Because of them knowing only you have the power to be invisible, they wouldn't accept you as easy as they accept a person with the superpower flight. Especially ladies, if they know you have the superpower invisibility and they know you have a crush on them but they don't have one on you, when is time for them to take a shower they will think you are using your superpower invisibility to watch them bathe. They would always feel like you're stalking them and watching everything they do, this would cause them to live in fear. Therefore, having the superpower flight, wouldn't put you in situations like this. If you want to use your superpower to fight against crime, you can do that. For example, if a lady is walking downtown and her bag got snatch from a criminal, you can use your superpower flight and fly after the culprit and follow him and keep the police updated on his location so that he can be arrested. Can you use you're the superpower invisibility to fight crime? In my opinion, no. Flight can save you financially, you wouldn't need to buy gas or a car or even pay to go on a bus. This helps the environment you in by less fossil

    Rind and Heart Sometimes without ever being physically present, a character can still manage to have a significant impact on the development of other characters by personifying a prominent theme of the novel that inspires an important transformation. In Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man, Rinehart never actually appears in his physical form, but still strongly influences the narrator, a young black man from the South who moves to Harlem to pursue his dreams of becoming a powerful figure in society, despite the systemic racism working against him. Rinehart’s fluid form helps the narrator realize his true place on the margins of society, demonstrating how an ambiguous identity can function as a mask, making it possible to break away from molds of…

    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.…

    In literature, blindness is often used to symbolize something more than just a lack of ability to see. There is often a deeper meaning to the disability, as defined in How to Read Literature Like a Professor’s 22nd chapter, “He’s Blind for a Reason, You Know” (Foster 209-214), where Thomas Foster explains the significance of a blind character in a work and how literal blindness often means wisdom for a good-spirited character and something of the opposite for their heel counterparts. In Invisible Man, blindness is used to identify a lack of insight and social consciousness in both the Narrator and other characters such as Brother Jack, the founder of the college, and Reverend Homer; this blindness is identified by invisibility, blindfolds,…

The main theme within the invisible man is the constant form of invisibility. Ellison explores the use of music such as in the form of jazz and improvisation.…

    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.…
