Activity 1.8 continued Seeing the World from My Perspective Diction: The words an author uses, carefully chosen to evoke emotions and communicate ideas, also reveal perspective. Identify key examples of diction, the writer’s choice of words, and examine the impact of those choices within the text and on the reader. Key Word or Phrase Feeling Evoked by Word or Phrase Effect on the Meaning of the Sentence Effect on the Reader Writing Prompt: Revisit your initial free write about a memory from childhood, and revise your drafts to refine your use of imagery, diction, and detail.

Another Perspective on the World Activity 1.9 SUGGESTED Learning Strategies: Close Reading, Sketching, Quickwrite, Visualizing, Graphic Organizer, Revisiting Prior Work N o v e l My Notes by Ralph Ellison From Invisible Man I am an invisible man. No, I am not a spook like those who haunted Edgar Allan Poe; nor am I one of your Hollywood-movie ectoplasms. 1 I am a man of substance, of flesh and bone, of fiber and liquids—and I might even be said to possess a mind. I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me. Like the bodiless heads you see sometimes in circus sideshows, it is as though I have been surrounded by mirrors of hard, distorting glass. When they approach me they see only my surroundings, themselves, or figments of their imagination—indeed, everything and anything except me. Nor is my invisibility exactly a matter of a biochemical accident to my epidermis. That invisibility to which I refer occurs because of a peculiar disposition of the eyes of those with whom I come in contact. A matter of the construction of their inner eyes, those eyes with which they look through their physical eyes upon reality. I am not complaining, nor am I protesting either. It is sometimes advantageous to be unseen, although it is most often rather wearing on the nerves. Then too, you’re constantly being bumped against by those of poor vision. Or again, you often doubt if you really exist. You wonder whether you aren’t simply a phantom in other people’s minds. Say, a figure in a nightmare which the sleeper tries with all his strength to destroy. It’s when you feel like this that, out of resentment, you begin to bump people back. And, let me confess, you feel that way most of the time. You ache with the need to convince yourself that you do exist in the real world, that you’re a part of all the sound and the anguish, and you strike out with your fists, you curse and you swear to make them recognize you. And, alas, it’s seldom successful. Literary terms A prologue is the introduction or preface to a literary work. Word Connections Ectoplasms contains the Greek root ecto-, meaning “outside.” This root also appears in other scientific words such as ectoderm and ectothermal. It also contains the Greek suffix –plasm, which refers to the formative part of an animal or vegetable cell. You have probably noticed this suffix in other words such as protoplasm. 1 ectoplasms: spiritual energy associated with the formation of ghosts
