The essay concentrates on that Victorian ___phantom_____ known as the ___the angel in the house_______ (borrowed from Coventry Patmore’s poem)—that selfless__, sacrificial__ woman in the nineteenth century whose sole purpose in life was to soothe, to flatter, and to comfort the male__ half of the world’s population. “Killing __the angel in the house___,” wrote Virginia Woolf, “was part of the occupation_ of a woman writer.”That has proved to be a ___ prophetic__ statement, for today, not only in the domain__of letters（文学界）, but in the __entire____ professional world, women are still engaged in that deadly contest in their struggle for social and economic__equality______.She stresses her dexterity to fight against what society has in mind for women like her, encouraging women to be whom they want to be. In doing so, she hopes to have cracked the glass ______ceiling______ that holds women from their natural rights.Virginia Woolf uses clear diction when she depicts three unique metaphors: ___the angel in the house_____, __the_fisherman___, and __the empty room___. While telling the story of the Angel of the House, she showed a lthough the Angel was “pure,” if she were not __rid of_____, she would have “plucked ___the heart out of her writing_____” so instead, Woolf kille d her. The author then describes the metaphor of the __fisherman____ in the form of a girl. In the girl’s dream, she let her “_imagination___ sweep unchecked round every ___rock___ and ___cranny____ of the world” able to explore and thinkwhat she wanted t o without a second thought. Then before the fisherman knew it, her “line” was lost, her imagination “dashed__” into “something hard,” and the girl was “roused from her dream.” By telling about the fisherman, she was able to show how censored woman’s minds were because they were always “i mpeded___(阻碍) by the extreme conventionality__ (惯例、习俗、老套) of the other sex.”2. Invisible Man is written by __Ralph____ ___Ellison_____, and this novel won him the National Book Award for fiction and catapulted__ him to national ____prominence______. Because Invisible Man is a bildungsroman (an __education___ novel or a _coming-of-age____ kind of novel that chronicles a character’s ___psychological____, ____moral_____ and ____social____ growth), the narrative and thematic concerns of the story revolve around the development of the narrator as an individual. The first chapter focuses on a gathering of the town's most ___prestigious/important____ white citizens held the day after the narrator's graduation. Because of the narrator's well-received ___oration/speech_____ at graduation, he is asked to repeat his speech at the gathering, which he deems a great honor. Upon arriving at the fancy ballroom, he learns that before his speech he must first _participate____ in the "battle royal" to be fought by several black boys hired for the __occasion___. The boys are led into the main hall where the narrator is shocked at the drunkenness of many of the town's most respected members. Half naked, the boys are only part of the night's____ entertainment ____. Pushed to the front of the hall, they are brought into full view of a naked, blond woman who is expected to dance for the crowd. The incredible humiliation of the scene causes most of the boys to want to run away but they are kept in place as the white men of the group chase the terrified woman around the room. The next event of the night directly involves the narrator and other boys; they are all made to wear ____ blindfolds ___ and enter the boxing ring. Covered in ___darkness_____, voices from the smoky room yell jeers and taunts to the boys until they are incited to fight. The fighting becomes hysterical and crazed, though slightly less tortuous for the narrator when he maneuvers his blindfold in such a manner to allow a little vision and more control over his fights. Suddenly, however, he is left in the ring as one of the final two who must fight until one wins. The narrator is mostly concerned that he will not get a chance to deliver__ his oration___, finally deciding to just fall to the floor with one of Tatlock's punches. The boys are then taunted one last time when the white men throw gold coins onto a carpet and encourage them to grab for the money. The carpet turns out to be electrified, and a jolt_____ is received by anyone touching a coin. The narrator attempts to grab as many coins as possible without touching the carpet and does so, almost throwing a seated white man onto the carpet by holding onto his chair leg. The narrator is then finally allowed to give his speech during which the men do not even bother to listen. Regardless, the narrator receives a scholarship at the end of the night and is so pleased that he ignores the earlier ___humiliation__ and the voice of his dying grandfather which continues to haunt_____ him in his dreams.The grandfather is a device used by Ellison to foreshadow heavily the rest of the novel as well as enhance the illustrations presented during the chapter. Appearing at the beginning and the end, the grandfather provides a lesson to the young narrator which his parents then tell him to ignore. The guilt of treachery____ that his grandfather instills in him follows him into the gathering of white men and ends the chapter haunting him in a dream that, he notes, he has dreamt often since. The experience of the gathering is the beginning of a race against himself, as the grandfather writes in the dream: "keep this nigger-boy running____".The idea of invisibility surfaces most within the chapter during the speech, which the narrator has continued to practice for even in the most humiliating______ of moments. Increasing the hypocrisy embedded in the upright citizens gathering, the men not only fail to listen to the speech but yell to the narrator to speak up when his throat is choked by blood. Nauseated and overwhelmed, he makes the mistake of saying "social equality" instead of "social responsibility" and is almost thrown out of the room. Only by thoroughly swallowing the hypocrisy___ of the room and the events he has had to participate in can he finally exit___ the scene without further harm. Sadly, the narrator accepts this prize as an award well worth his humiliation___. He cannot yet understand his grandfather's message because he still refuses to spit out the blood and speak for himself.。
