Wright Shares His Writing

Wright felt gratified after sharing his writing. Even though his piece did not include a plot or action and was instead about longing and death, Wright was excited. He liked it no matter how bad it was because it was his own creation. Wright was not concerned that the woman to whom he read his piece looked astonished and bewildered. She was baffled trying to understand why Wright would want to write, let alone why writing would give him a great sense of gratification. Nonetheless, Wright was proud of his writing and the fact that he created a piece of writing that was his own. He smiled because he realized that his environment had nothing odder than “writing or the desire to express one’s self in writing”. Writing would become the medium through which he expressed his feelings and dealt with adversity caused by his environment. It would help him cope and understand his world. In addition it would be the means through which he would rise above his lower social class and hopefully make a difference.
