Do we see what we want to see?

In my opinion, this story needs to be read a couple of times to be understood. It is not that easy to get the main idea out of it, but once you get into it, you get the message across easily. In this short story, the narrator plays an essential role since he describes in an excellent way what is going on in the scene. The way he tells the story makes you get into it more and more. He describes very accurately the characters and makes the reader realize what the characters are like. He also gives important details (description of the scene mainly).
The girl is very self-centered, arriviste, and thinks she is an excellent writer but she is not. She is convinced that she is a great observer, although she is not able to realize who is around her. Moreover, she is surrounded by 8 Japanese gentlemen that attract people’s attention, but unfortunately she "can’t" see them. In the end, she is shown up as a bad writer. A writer who is not able to observe, cannot depict reality, the world, important events, and so on.
The title of the story is very illustrative because it utilizes the word “invisible”. The girl is not able to see the men....she thinks she sees but she sees what she wants to see.
