A Critical Analysis Of 'Black Boy' By Richard Wright

Hey jibola, so this is life, if one is to search for its meaning with truthful purpose they may stumble upon its cut, ones sharp as that of a knife. We humans are creatures who are familiarized with pain, hate, cruelty, and ascribed moral responsibility. Yet we are blessed enough to bask in wonders of joy, love and an infinite array of endless possibilities. Such potential and possibilities is that which is critical to the nature man exemplified in all forms of human achievements.. This powerful possession is something which we all share regardless of colour, sex, or language, we are all of utmost possibilities.No man can be denied of his potential by another, it is only he who can hinder himself. When I speak of possibilities I do not refer

We are builders, we are warriors and we are kings fitted with prosperous wings. Do not fall victim to the poison of the outside man, let him not feed you his conscious being, for to you it can possess no true meaning. You are a free man even if your world/race/gender is not and such are the ideologies present within the autobiography of author Richard Wright. Since you have read his work in the past and found yourself intrigued I suggest taking some time to read his autobiography. In “Black Boy” we are produced a detailed relay of his life and experiences as boy/young adult colour in predominately the South in the United State. Following him from the age of seven to twenty, readers experience his first job, his first experience with an aggressive white, and his move to simply be, all experiences which shape the man he in turn becomes. It is a tale of questioned possibility in an era of conscious anxiety, a period in which hopes and dreams and plausible realities are destroyed by ascribed responsibilities. A explamaray time of the master, slave mentality, Wright moves againsts the winds of the collective deducing for himself the his purpose. And deduce does he as we witness his triumph over progranderous

Such truth is present in Wright 's experience, attained through the world of spirituality. But not in the sense of spirituality as defined by mankind AKA religion, rather spirituality of the self, of self prescribed beliefs. As we at a young age determined that church was not for us, after strenuous battles with our mother, so did Wright. Rejecting a practice which preached hatred of knowledge, self thought and comprehension, a religion of the collective. It is true that religion is of spirituality but never buy that spirituality is of religion for it is a weapon created by man, and all that man creates someday destroys him. Spirituality in line with that of Christian philosopher Kierkegaard is that of longing for that which seems impossible due to its contradictory nature. Spirituality is belief beyond evidence, something which cannot be made concrete but yet still lives in you. This aforementioned spirituality is not what we found in our church but rather the spirituality of the objective christian; illustrated by greed under the guise of giving, and gossip under the guise of scorning, the spirituality of the mindless follower. Bare in mind that I do not condemn the religion of christianity, but rather the way in which individuals in our culture experience it. Like those in Wright’s novel, blindly, without question, without comprehension,
