I am still not too sure how I feel about Native Speaker.  Henry reminds me a lot of the narrator of Invisible Man the more I read.  I feel like because of his job, he doesn’t really know who he is.  If you think about it, if you had to play a lot of different identities and be a different person each time, would you really know who you were? Or for that matter, know how to act when you weren’t on the job?  I don’t think I would.  If I had a job like his and had “act” everyday and move around to different places, and deceive people, I would feel like a bad person and I wouldn’t have a very good sense of self.  I would feel as though I had no identity.  Maybe this is how Henry feels, maybe not.  Lelia seems to have a strong personality.  She knows what she wants for the most part and she does what ever she wants.  Although she does break down during the readings we just did.  Its understandable why she does though, talking about her son, and being hurt that Henry never spoke about it.  On the topic of their son Mitt, Amanda Lea made a really good point in class, that the pile up of his friends could represent all of the secrets in their lives and it eventually suffocated Mitt.  His death is very odd, you hear about people dying in all different ways as we spoke about in class, but have you every really heard of anyone getting suffocated by a group of friends and at such a young age?  I’m not really sure what is going on with kwang yet, we haven’t touched much on him in class.  He plays an important role though, because we keep getting rushed into talking about him and the Professor always says that he’s important and to not forget him.  I’m curious to see what role he plays in the story.  I’m not sure at this point why Henry is telling the story.
