End of Book

Wright realized that you can’t always make a difference, but that you still need to try on the off chance that you spark interest in people and really do make a change. He also realized that it’s not only the African American race struggling, but all of the races. The world is not where it is supposed to be with acceptance, and it makes all of the races struggle. This is a highly intellectual realization, and it is one that will change Richard’s life. He realizes that he might not make an effect on the world, and things might not get better, but he needs to try just in case they do. This whole book is based on accounts of Richard Wright’s life, an have been building up to this moment where he finally comes to the self-actualization stage in his life. This is a psychological state in which you become fully comfortable with yourself, your life, and where you stand. Some people never reach this, but it seems that Richard has. Good for Richard. :]
