Grrrrahtifieyng Righteeng

Richard Wright was able to find gratification in his writing when he first shared his writing with his neighbor. At first, he had been very scared to share his writings with others because he knew how his family would feel about his topic of writing: the death of a young Indian girl. He felt that his family would find this sort of writing "unholy." However, Richard really liked the piece and felt a sort of attachment to the writing. Presenting his piece to his neighbor made him feel even better at the piece, as she was barely able to comprehend any of it. Richard felt as if he had written something very educated, and it made him feel very proud as a result. He felt like a rebel because of the separation his writing created between him and his family, and not only was it different, but it was very high level quality.
