Comment on a moral value and lesson
This story quite interested because it contain moral value and lesson that we can learned. We should not be a selfish person because it can bring more negative effect rather than positive effect. For example, Jack Graffin as invisible man character in this story. He do the secret experiment on how to make people invisible. And he turn himself to the invisible man. From the first day he doing this experiment to himself, he love it because he can do anything he want while surrounding people. He can do right and wrong thing because people can’t see him.
The advantage of being an invisible man was using by Jack Griffin in a wrong way such as he robbed a bank of the town of Stowe and scare children and people surrounding him. The negative effect from the situation is people in surrounding started scared of him and thought him as a criminal and a scary ghost.
So, we should not be a selfish person because it contains a lot of negative perspective especially from surrounding people and before we started make the decision that can make people proud and happy.
The novel is good for people that love reading novel because while it was a story on something, it also contains a lot of moral value and lesson for the reader learned.
