Why is Wright really hungry?
Wright's hunger comes from his lack of understanding. He does not understand why whites are different. He does not understand why his mother has to struggle and his father is not around. He does not understand why he cannot do what he wants. He wants to understand, and this motivates him. In addition, the pain of being in an orphanage drives him further. In fact, he would so much rather talk to his father than be in the orphanage. The pain of the visit further makes him hungry because his father makes him mad. His harbored resentment for his father over the next quarter century will no doubt play a major role in determining how hungry he really is.

Josh, I really like how you tied Wright’s hunger with his anger. I agree that the two are connected in several ways, including resentment towards his father. I also like the repetitive flow of your blog: it’s easy to follow, and I foster simplicity (while I cannot exactly be simple myself). Good straightforward blog. 5
