Part 1 of Black Boy - Richard Wright

Wright's autobiography of his childhood-

• At the beginning, he burned his house down accidently. His mother often beat him severly, yet at the end, he has affection for her.
• He writes about how he was always hungry.
• He sneaks into saloons and drinks. He spys on men and women getting it on....
• Basically a bunch of stuff happens, his mom can't take care of himself, he gets into violent fights with his overly religious extended family, he gets a job to be a skilled worker at an optic shop, but is run out, and blah blah blah, it wasn't my favorite book.
• Not too many fond memories.
