    1) The document reflects on the novel The Invisible Man and draws parallels between the experiences of the protagonist and real world institutions and human interactions. 2) It discusses how the protagonist realizes through his time at the Tuskegee Institute that the school is still impacted by racial inequity and white patronage, and that the Black leader Dr. Bledsoe only uses his position to further his own agenda, like many people in positions of power. 3) It argues that in all human interactions and institutions, including schools, volunteer work, and government, people have some personal motives or gains, so it is hard to criticize others for this unless one is willing to also criticize themselves.

    The Invisible Man Personal Reflection/Parallelism to Final Essay

    Pure goodwill never exists. Compliance, help, or even volunteer work has ulterior
    motives. As discovered through the TIM, power is often the main agenda behind large
    organizations but even if these motives are bad, I cannot criticize an actor for seeking
    power when I, myself, do this everyday.
    TIM experiences a self-realization first through the Tuskegee Institute and the
    backward system within the institute where racial inequity and white patronage still
    exists. Dr. Bledsoe, under the guise of a progressive Black leader merely uses his position
    to forward his own agenda. Yet he cannot be indicted on such a basis because every
    single person on campus is there for personal gain. The white patrons are there to cement
    their white superiority and boost their ego. The students are there to become like the
    whites and to find a place in society where they are powerful. The some comparison
    exists in society everywhere. Government for example is filled with corruption and
    underhanded dealings. There is not one person who is there 100% for the people, the only
    reason they do enact beneficial policies is because they have to await re-election.
    I go to school not because of the attractiveness of the building or for the teachers.
    I go because I know an education gives me a position in society where I can earn money,
    but even if I went because of the teachers, that personal gratification would be sufficient
    to sayFrankly, I do volunteer work because it looks good for colleges, but that’s not to
    say that I don’t gain personal gratification from helping out. But everything we do and
    every sort of human interaction involves some sort of personal gain, so I believe that Dr.
    Bledsoe and the white patrons cannot be blamed unless who cast blame to the black
    students who attended the school for having “personal motives”.
    Consequently, there is no way for a person to be 100% objective in their actions
    as we are inherently pleasure seeking in everything that we do.
