I invite you to watch the video and it would be great if you wanted to start a discussion on it in the comments section below.
Some things you might think about (and talk about in the Comments section) are:
What might Richard Wright mean by "American hunger"?
How does Wright's mother respond to his hunger and questions? Why do you think she responds in this way?
What is the significance of the coal man teaching Richard Wright to count?
What does Richard Wright like so much about novels? Why doesn't his grandmother want him reading them? Why does she call them "devil stuff"?
Finally, think about Richard Wright's new hunger. React to his final lines:
"Since I had no power to make things happen outside of me, I made things happen within, and I kept asking my questions."
What is Richard Wright's new hunger? What causes it?
What is the relationship between hunger and questions?

I believe that Richard wright was hungry for more knowledge and understanding he had a burning to learn Richard wright also loved novels he always wanted to hear the ending what was the come the excitement of it his grandmother didn't like stories didn't want Richard to have an imagination called it the devil's work the reason that the cold band poor Richard how to count so that he would know how to count his change he was buying something or someone was giving him something tukwila Titan define
ReplyDeleteYes! I wonder why the grandmother wouldn't want Richard Wright to have an imagination. What do you think? I love your point about the coal man, wanting him to know how to count change. If he didn't know how to count change, he could be taken advantage of, right? Is the knowledge of counting change the same as the knowledge to use your imagination? Why does Richard Wright want to know more and more about stories? It seems clearer why the knowledge of counting and math would be good, but why stories?
DeleteI believe Richard wright hugger came from wanting to know more watch the school teacher opened him up to a story He had a burning desire of wanting to know more and more and more of what was to come behind the story
