Black Boi

OMG. I so freakin tired. But I gotta do this because it's kind of late. So y thoughts on Black Boy thus far. Black Boy begins as the young protagonist, Richard is forced to live with this thriving desire called "hunger" from a very early age. Besides killing a kitten and burning his house, this definition of hunger changes throughout the book. As we can all see, Richard's definition of hunger seem to change. Having less to do with attention, Richard seems to be genuinely starving, due to his father's departure from his family. Not only does this force Richard to face his fears, but it also helps Richard grow up and become a man. As the reader sees, Richard doesn't grow up in the typical way that kids his age are accustomed too. Richard is ostracized by the majority of his family due to to his religious views. Richard also meets another adversary in his life that he would experience many times in his life. RACISM. Despite Richard's struggles, he seems be far more independent than others his age. Examples being his desire to have a job and help out his family.
