Many plays and novels use contrasting places (for example, two countries, two cities or towns, two houses, or the land and the sea) to represent opposed forces or ideas that are central to the meaning of the work. using two of the settings in ralph ellison's "the invisible man", write a well-supported paragraph explaining how the places differ, what each place represents, and how their contrast contributes to the meaning of the work.

The narrator of the story was said to be born and raised in south American, but winds up in the neighborhood of Harlem in New York.

The narrator finds that there is an incredible contrast between the North and the South— There is much less racism in New York. Black people is is surprised to find are well respectable in society. White people even obey the directives of a black policeman. In the North there is less amount of racism and people are respected inspite of their races.

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
