The best answer to the question: Why does he (the protagonist of the Battle Royal in "Invisible Man") object to fighting? would be: He does not wish to distract his white attendees´attention from the speech he is about to deliver.

Explanation:

"Invisible Man" is a novel that was written by author Ralph Ellison and which was published originally in 1952. Essentially, the story of the novel deals with the effects of racism, and the effects of it, on the narrator of the story, an unnamed black person, as he goes from believing himself to be invisible to the world due to his race, to becoming an active person as the recounts of his past remind him that he does not need to hide from the world. Most of the story, thus, goes to show the reader the story behind this "invisbile man" and how events of that life transform him. Another thing that we learn is how this unnamed narrator goes from being a supporter of black movements in the U.S, especially in New York, to realizing that such fanaticsism is not necessary for him to be known to the world. One thing that does happen in the story is that in the beginning, the narrator graduates from high school and receives a scholarship to an all-black college. However, before he receives the award, he has to engage in an activity that is known as a "Battle Royal" to entertain white dignitaries in his town, to which he refuses because he does not want people to pay more attention to the unseemley brutal display, than to his speech.

i'm pretty sure it is 1) wants to hide her true feelings about robert. i'm sorry if it is wrong. good luck! : d

everyday, people all over the world are making sacrifices; all for different reasons. some people may choose to do more simple sacrifices, like, "my daughter is receiving an award at school, but i also have an appointment, so i will decide to cancel that appointment to be there with my daughter" although she is cancelling her appointment, she can easily reschedule it, and spend her time with nore important thungs in life: being there with her daughter. this will make her daughter happy too because she is recieveing an award for her hard work, and it brings us happiness when our hard work is noticed and appreciated.

on the other hand, some people dont know when to make a sacrifice, ir bow to make one. well, making a sacrifice is when you do something for someone else other than yourself, for someone else's happiness, not so you can gain something in return. you do it for them, not for you. so, anyone can make a sacrifice, even the most simplest ones, like giving up the tv for a sibling or a sibling with homework, when you could be doing something else. the point is to others, when you can be doing something else. you do it out of the fact that you want to them, not so that it can benefit you.

making sacrifices benefit people in many ways, it can bring a smile to there face knowing someone is willing to and bring kindess. alot of people tend to feel unwanted and that no one is there for them, but if we show kindess and sacrifice the less importnat things in life for the most important things in life, people will once again feel happiness and more at ease knowing that someone is or was there for them, even if it be only once.

hope this , and let me know if there are any typos, it's hard typing on a phone : )
