Invisible man
What is the best summary of the selection?
A. The narrator declares that he is invisible but immediately dismisses the idea that he is some
sort of ghost from literature. He describes feeling like he is in a circus surrounded by walls of
mirrors that distort reality. He describes the people who walk around him as sleepwalkers and
says he must not awaken them.
B.
The unnamed narrator declares that he is invisible, not due to magic, but because other
people cannot see him as a fellow human being. The narrator then talks about the difficulties
of being invisible. He tells the story of bumping into a man, being insulted, demanding he
apologize, beating him, and realizing the man couldn't see his attacker.
The narrator begins by telling the reader that he is invisible and that this condition has
nothing to do with how light interacts with his skin. He explains that his invisibility can only be
explained by the eyes of other people who cannot see him. Sometimes he even questions his
own existence.
DO The unnamed narrator is walking on a street one night when he accidentally bumps into
another man who then calls him an insulting name. The narrator grabs the man and demands
an apology, but the man continues to insult him. After the narrator injures the man, he leaves,
first viewing the incident as disgusting and then humorous.
