In the genre of the post-apocaplytic novel, the existing social structure must be obliterated in order for something (hopefully) better to take its place. After reading these chapters, do you think that Invisible Man is part of this genre? Does it transform this genre in any way?Other questions to consider:
*How has the narrator come to adopt one of Bledsoe's strategies?
*How does the narrator use grammar to ridicule Sybil?
*How does the burning tenement show progress?
*How is humor used to show Ras's ridiculousness?
*What is the rhetorical effect of Ras getting hit by a spear?

Th narrator adopts one of Bledsoe's stradegies. He like Bledsoe played a part in not helping the black community. Bledsoe specifically uses the black community to gain his own power. Likewise, the narrator becomes a role in the destruction of the black community by being in the Brother hood. Bledsoe
