The Founder's statue is another part of the invisible metaphor through the book. The authors decides to leave out the details of the founder. His name is anonymous and his humanity is only generated through the statue. Which means it could be anybody and that its not as important being that the founder can do anything general. Or it means that the statue is nobody, and what ever they are doing does not matter. Which refers to being invisible. If no one can see you, do you exist?
Mr. Norton is good man, i really like him because he truly wants to help people. His beliefs work in reverse in comparison to most whites. When he states to the narrator the their fates depend on each other he mean how they need to work together. He is saving the blacks an education and giving them a chance. With out Mr. Norton education would not even have been a possibility. But he is also depending on the blacks. Mr. Norton enjoys taking care of others, needless to say it gives him his fix of pride. So he can feel good about himself. So far Mr. Norton seems like a good guys and I trust his character, but I'm curious to know if he has insecurity issues.
