WHICH IS YOUR FAVOURITE BOOK? WHY DO YOU LIKE IT?
GIVE A BRIEF SUMMARY OF IT (100 WORDS).
The narrator, an unnamed black man, begins by describing his living conditions: an underground
room wired with hundreds of electric lights, operated by power stolen from the city's electric grid.
He reflects on the various ways in which he has experienced social invisibility during his life and
begins to tell his story, returning to his teenage years. The narrator lives in a small Southern town
and, upon graduating from high school, wins a scholarship to an all-black college. However, to
receive it, he must first take part in a brutal, humiliating battle royal for the entertainment of the
town's rich white dignitaries.
One afternoon during his junior year at the college, the narrator chauffeurs Mr. Norton, a visiting
rich white trustee, out among the old slave-quarters beyond the campus. By chance, he stops at
the cabin of Jim Trueblood, who has caused a scandal by impregnating both his wife and his
daughter in his sleep. Trueblood's account horrifies Mr. Norton so badly that he asks the narrator
to find him a drink. The narrator drives him to a bar filled with prostitutes and patients from a
nearby mental hospital. The mental patients rail against both of them and eventually overwhelm
the orderly assigned to keep the patients under control, injuring Mr. Norton in the process. The
narrator hurries Mr. Norton away from the chaotic scene and back to campus.
Dr. Bledsoe, the college president, excoriates the narrator for showing Mr. Norton the underside
of black life beyond the campus and expels him. However, Bledsoe gives several sealed letters
of recommendation to the narrator, to be delivered to friends of the college in order to assist him
in finding a job so that he may eventually earn enough to re-enroll. The narrator travels to New
York and distributes his letters, with no success; the son of one recipient shows him the letter,
which reveals Bledsoe's intent to never admit the narrator as a student again.
Acting on the son's suggestion, the narrator seeks work at the Liberty Paint factory, renowned for
its pure white paint. He is assigned first to the shipping department, then to the boiler room,
whose chief attendant, Lucius Brockway, is highly paranoid and suspects that the narrator is
trying to take his job. This distrust worsens after the narrator stumbles into a union meeting, and
Brockway attacks the narrator and tricks him into setting off an explosion in the boiler room. The
narrator is hospitalized and subjected to shock treatment, overhearing the doctors' discussion of
him as a possible mental patient.
After leaving the hospital, the narrator faints on the streets of Harlem and is taken in by Mary
Rambo, a kindly old-fashioned woman who reminds him of his relatives in the South. He later
happens across the eviction of an elderly black couple and makes an impassioned speech that
incites the crowd to attack the law enforcement officials in charge of the proceedings. The
narrator escapes over the rooftops and is confronted by Brother Jack, the leader of a group
known as "the Brotherhood" that professes its commitment to bettering conditions in Harlem and
the rest of the world. At Jack's urging, the narrator agrees to join and speak at rallies to spread
the word among the black community. Using his new salary, he pays Mary back the rent he owes
her and moves into an apartment provided by the Brotherhood.
The rallies go smoothly at first, with the narrator receiving extensive indoctrination on the
Brotherhood's ideology and methods. Soon, though, he encounters trouble from Ras the
Exhorter, a fanatical black nationalist who believes that the Brotherhood is controlled by whites.
Neither the narrator nor Tod Clifton, a youth leader within the Brotherhood, is particularly swayed
by his words. The narrator is later called before a meeting of the Brotherhood and accused of
putting his own ambitions ahead of the group. He is reassigned to another part of the city to

address issues concerning women, seduced by the wife of a Brotherhood member, a eventually
called back to Harlem when Clifton is reported missing and the Brotherhood's membership and
influence begin to falter.
The narrator can find no trace of Clifton at first, but soon discovers him selling
dancing Sambo dolls on the street, having become disillusioned with the Brotherhood. Clifton is
shot and killed by a policeman while resisting arrest; at his funeral, the narrator delivers a rousing
speech that rallies the crowd to support the Brotherhood again. At an emergency meeting, Jack
and the other Brotherhood leaders criticize the narrator for his unscientific arguments and the
narrator determines that the group has no real interest in the black community's problems.
The narrator returns to Harlem, trailed by Ras's men, and buys a hat and a pair of sunglasses to
elude them. As a result, he is repeatedly mistaken for a man named Rinehart, known as a lover,
a hipster, a gambler, a briber, and a spiritual leader. Understanding that Rinehart has adapted to
white society at the cost of his own identity, the narrator resolves to undermine the Brotherhood
by feeding them dishonest information concerning the Harlem membership and situation. After
seducing the wife of one member in a fruitless attempt to learn their new activities, he discovers
that riots have broken out in Harlem due to widespread unrest. He realizes that the Brotherhood
has been counting on such an event in order to further its own aims. The narrator gets mixed up
with a gang of looters, who burn down a tenement building, and wanders away from them to find
Ras, now on horseback, armed with a spear and shield, and calling himself "the Destroyer". Ras
shouts for the crowd to lynch the narrator, but the narrator attacks him with the spear and
escapes into an underground coal bin. Two white men seal him in, leaving him alone to ponder
the racism he has experienced in his life.
The epilogue returns to the present, with the narrator stating that he is ready to return to the
world because he has spent enough time hiding from it. He explains that he has told his story in
order to help people see past his own invisibility, and also to provide a voice for people with a
similar plight: "Who knows but that, on the lower frequencies, I speak for you?"

ACTIVITY 3.
WRITE A BIOGRAPHY OF A FAMOUS PERSONALITY THAT HAS
INSPIRED YOU THE MOST (100 WORDS).
Frost’s father, William Prescott Frost, Jr., was a journalist with ambitions
of establishing a career in California, and in 1873 he and his wife moved to
San Francisco. Her husband’s untimely death from tuberculosis in 1885
prompted Isabelle Moodie Frost to take her two children, Robert and
Jeanie, to Lawrence, Massachusetts, where they were taken in by the
children’s paternal grandparents. While their mother taught at a variety of
schools in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, Robert and Jeanie grew up
in Lawrence, and Robert graduated from high school in 1892. A top
student in his class, he shared valedictorian honours with Elinor White,
with whom he had already fallen in love.

Derry: Robert Frost Farm

Derry: Robert Frost Farm
Robert and Elinor shared a deep interest in poetry, but their continued
education sent Robert to Dartmouth College and Elinor to St. Lawrence
University. Meanwhile, Robert continued to labour on the poetic career he
had begun in a small way during high school; he first achieved professional
publication in 1894 when The Independent, a weekly literary journal,
printed his poem “My Butterfly: An Elegy.” Impatient with academic
routine, Frost left Dartmouth after less than a year. He and Elinor married
in 1895 but found life difficult, and the young poet supported them by
teaching school and farming, neither with notable success. During the next
dozen years, six children were born, two of whom died early, leaving a
family of one son and three daughters. Frost resumed his college education
at Harvard University in 1897 but left after two years’ study there. From
1900 to 1909 the family raised poultry on a farm near Derry, New
Hampshire, and for a time Frost also taught at the Pinkerton Academy in
Derry. Frost became an enthusiastic botanist and acquired his poetic

persona of a New England rural sage during the years he and his family
spent at Derry. All this while he was writing poems, but publishing outlets
showed little interest in them.

By 1911 Frost was fighting against discouragement. Poetry had always

been considered a young person’s game, but Frost, who was nearly 40 years
old, had not published a single book of poems and had seen just a handful
appear in magazines. In 1911 ownership of the Derry farm passed to Frost.
A momentous decision was made: to sell the farm and use the proceeds to
make a radical new start in London, where publishers were perceived to be
more receptive to new talent. Accordingly, in August 1912 the Frost family
sailed across the Atlantic to England. Frost carried with him sheaves of
verses he had written but not gotten into print. English publishers in
London did indeed prove more receptive to innovative verse, and, through
his own vigorous efforts and those of the expatriate American poet Ezra
Pound, Frost within a year had published A Boy’s Will (1913). From this
first book, such poems as “Storm Fear,” “The Tuft of Flowers,” and
“Mowing” became standard anthology pieces.
