In “Battle Royale”, the first chapter of Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison, the chapter uses a variation of dialect in the narrator’s tone of voice throughout the reading to carry out his position of a past he was naive of. The narrator takes his reader on a flashback of a time he was invited to give his high school graduation speech at a gathering where he unknowingly would be a part of a circus act in a room full of white citizens before he may present his speech. “I wanted to deliver my speech and he came at me as though he meant to beat it out of me.” (1216) Over and over again throughout his battle in the ring he thought of nothing more but to say it. Henry Louis Gates “Signifying Monkey” should be applied to this short

When someone brings a knife to a gunfight, they lose, every time. Also if they go against two people and they are only one person, they will lose. An example of this was the last major battle of the American Revolution. Lord Cornwallis, a British officer with 8,000 redcoats, was the one person.

The American Revolution set the background for the modern nation state as well as molding the modern Army. Both countries have many differences and similarities, ranging from the individuals fighting these wars to tactics and strategies they used to win. These countries shared the same idea of freedom and independence, the difference is they used different methods of accomplishing this goal.
