  2. The story, Black Boy by Richard wright, begins with a little boy describing his severe hunger and complaining to his mother about being hungry.

    His mother told him that his dad left them and there would be no food till she got a job.

    He gets beat up by a gang of boys twice and both times they took his money, basket and note.

    His mother told him to fight back if the gang bothered him again.

    She locked him out the house and told to not come back unless he had the groceries.

    He fought the gang back with a stick swirling around hitting them with it.

    He learned how to stand up to the gang and show them that he’s not scared.

    That night he won the right to the streets of Memphis.
