The Invisible Man

Yesterday, for Team Tuesday, Mrs.Elliott challenged us to take a passage from the novel Invisible Man, by Ralph Ellison, and creat a poem out of it. Writing the poem was difficult enough, but then Mrs. Elliott tells us to make a TOSTADA about our poem- that's where we ran into complications. The tostada, I learned after we completed it, was a great way to understand not only why we wrote our poem that way, but also why Ellison wrote in rhythm and how it flowed more easily because he wrote that way. Unfortunately, the tostada was turned it, so I can't really show you how it turned out but I can tell you that we learned  from our poem. We learned that this man invisible to the people around him to the degree where his emotions are almost invisible to him, as if the people who can't see him have rubbed off on him. This may not be accurate, but it is what I have extrapolated from the text.- Brenda Samaan
