so is the narrator not ellison? i thought this was ellison's life story.. is this just like a fictionalized story of his life pretty much?

No, I think it's completely fictional.

says
Yeah. It's fiction.
That's really interesting...I never saw it as his life story, just always as fiction.

yeah this is a fictional writing as discussed in class, it seems realistic because of facts that are used
Also, the first person narrator with no way to identify him out side of the "I" can be misleading, but it is entirely fictional.
Read the introduction if your book has one. It says enough about Ellison's life that I figured it wasn't about him.
