And when his granny knot is cleaning his ass he reckons to her, When you wee-wee through, kiss back there. When Wright gets freshly words and expressions he uses them before knowing what they mean.It is like you could give him a crownwork to a bomb and he would elevate the spill before asking what the button was for. only when by and by all the penalization he gets for all the events he learns junior-grade by little that he get h former(a) of to think before speaking. It is not only from his family that he learns that, it is mostly strangers. Like when he was bug out on delivery for the article of clothing store and his bike brakes. Some clear folks offer him a depend upon back to town, Wright says yes. When they offer him a beverage he says Oh, no. He gets a whiskey bottle smashed amidst his eyes. The white human race says Nigger, ain? you larn no better sense? n that yet. Ain? t you acquire to say sir to a white man yet. Wright realizes little by little that words are sleeves and you get penalise if you shoot the wrong person. Wright learns the power of words the tough way with beating and visitments. But when Wright discovers books, it changes his life. The stolon real paper Wright writes is in 8th grade, the story is called The Voodoo of funny farm? s Half-Acre. When the kids at school pick up the story in the newspaper they asked Wright why he wrote it and they think he copied it out of a book.He doesnt get any support from his family neither. Nobody in his bon ton understands why he wants to become a writer. It sounds like it is the stupidest thing they ever heard. When Wright gets Ella to understands him a story from the book she is carrying, it is like a new naive realism to him. She whispered to me the story of Bluebeard and His Seven Wives and I ceased to see the porch, the sunshine, her face, everything. As her words fell upon my n ew ears, I endowed them with a reality that welled up from somewhere at bottom me.The story is so intriguing to him that he vows to himself that when he is old enough, he is buying all the novels he depose. Nothing could change his mind after that. Wright realizes that books are a better reality that the reality he is sustentation in now. It is his way of dreaming away from all the misery he is living in. But how is Wright so determined when most of the stack he knows beat fun of him and turn int understand why he wants to become a writer. Why croup? t he just be like his family and the nine around him wants him to be? Where is he getting all this aspiration? Anything seemed come-at-able, likely, feasible, because I wanted everything to be accomplishable Because I had no power to make things happen out of doors of me in the objective creative activity, I made things happen within. It? s like he lives in his own nutshell, with windows and a door. He knows whats outside and he even goes outside sometimes. But he just waits to take his place in society so he can leave his nutshell, come out and express everything on his mind. He hopes the north can give him that. The rumors Wright hears that in the north black people are treated better than in the south.This makes Wright drops out of school so he can work more than and save up more money to travel up there. When he gets there he is by himself for the first time in his life. No family or friends, we see that Wright is maturing and acting more like a man and not like the boy he apply to be. When Wright first meets Mrs. Moss and her daughter Bess, he is sincerely uncomfortable. He has no previous determine on how to deal with them. Mrs. Moss is like the smash opposite to his m early(a). But we see that during the stick out in Memphis, he has more of a chance to stand up for himself.He handles Bess? s overwhelming crush and establishes a possible relationship for all of them. Wright handles it like a more mature person. There is a transition from Richard as a boy to Mr. Wright, the writer he became when he wrote this book, both points of view going into one. When Wright gets help from his Catholic coworker to get a library peak he finally fulfills his vow to himself to make all the novels he can get his hands on. This is the real beginning to his self-education. He reads and reads, every day he reads. He gets to know all the writers.It is like he is swimming in parallel universes, but instead of universes he is swimming in different peoples? minds. I was jarred and shocked by the style, the clear, clean, sweeping sentences. He never read anything like it before. later on study book after books Wright gets a revelation. He is not alone anymore. There are other people like him out there, who aspect and think like Wright does. They also flavor like individuals in this society and the world they are living in. This makes Wright really satisfied. For the first time in his life he feels like he is part of a group, a society.He wants to tell someone to the highest degree his discovery. He just wants to babble out to somebody about this, tell about what he has learned and his dreams for the future. But Wright has nobody to talk to about this. His coworkers, friends, and family would not understand. They would ask Wright why he is reading, what? s the point? After Wright is satisfied he becomes sad. He knows he is not alone, but the people that appropriate the same view and understanding as him are not around. He is still alone. Wright became a writer because that was his only way out.He was an individual, trying to fit in to the society where he was born. It was the only way he could express himself, as an individual. Writing allowed him to say what was on his mind without getting punish for it. It was an escape from the reality he was living in. After learning more and more he became more secure on the path he had chosen. Words became his weapo n in life. We see that writing and reading was his inspiration and motivation. He feels like he can do anything when he reads or writes. Anything seemed possible, likely, feasible, because I wanted everything to be possible.
