Black Boy by Richard Wright was a very creative book, full of twists and turns, the 416 pages are about the hard life of a boy living down south (where many racists are). His parents support him while everyone without color brings him down with his hopes of being a writer not everyone believed in him but he still managed to get through it. He was a very curious kid who wanted to learn more about the world.
I would make his life more intelligible to others than to himself. I would reclaim and cast his disordered days into a form that people would grasp, see, understand, and accept. *beginning of CH 19 (p. 329)
This describes Richards’s motivation for his life story about Ross (The black communist. Richard thinks of life as painful and horrible).
