Black Boy

We've begun reading the memoir of Richard Wright, Black Boy, in English class. The writing is very discriptive, which I like, but is also very straightforward. I enjoy books more when the pace of the writing is varied a bit. Nevertheless, Richard's childhood is interesting to read and learn about, but his life is so different from my own that I cannot sypathize with his feelings or situations.

In class today, I had a good discussion with my group about the events occuring in chapter three. We talked about why they happened and if they foreshadowed any upcoming events. I definetly got some "food for thought" on the book.
