Richard Wright's Blueprint For Negro Writing

128 Words1 Page

I agree with Wright because in the reader it talked mostly about how white readers were humble on Negro writing. White readers that Negroes reading and writing was astonishing to them. White readers never offered any serious criticism to their writing. Wright also mention that it wasn’t any deep concern on the part of Negro on the part Negro writing playing a role in America culture. As reading “blueprint for Negro writing” I see that the white people were amazed with the Negro writing and wanted it to be in America culture for them also. But then again Negro writing were looked upon by the majority of literature Negroes. Negro writing did assumed a general aspects by pleading a voice of education for Negroes with white America justice.

    Throughout American history, black culture has been treated inferior to the white race. Because Africans were brought to the United States against their will, forced into slavery, then eventually freed as American citizens, they wish to be treated equally while maintaining their unique and indigenous cultural values. Whether it is through music, art, or literature, black Americans express their way of life in order to gain authenticity for their community. However, in the case of literature, readers are unable to see color, therefore, writers must reveal cultural identity differences creatively. One style that became very popular after the Civil War is called local color: fiction that features the peculiarities of a particular community.

    Great writing can come from a far range of time periods, some of which were marked by accepted racism and sexism. This doesn’t change how well the piece is written, but it does change what can be taught through the piece. For instance, look at Mark Twain. He lived in a time before women could vote and before the civil rights movement changed interracial interaction. If a teacher tried to use Twain’s novel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, to teach their students values today, it would be hard to divorce Twain’s controversial views from his non controversial views.

  • Figurative Language In Richard Wright's Black Boy

    In his autobiographical novel, Black Boy, Richard Wright uses figurative language to communicate to readers his youthful disenchantment with the roles naturally assumed by most living creatures. Early on in the book, Wright shifts from one anecdote to the next using short lyric phrases, each phrase detailing an experience he has as a young boy that affects his perspective. In one of these sentences, Richard thinks back on the “disdain that filled” him as he tormented a crawfish that “huddled fearfully” away from him (Wright 15). He is uncomfortable with the implication of his being able to go through with such a thing, yet he continues to do so. Richard’s recognition of his “torture” of the crawfish and his continuing to torture the crawfish give the impression that he sees but does not understand why he should
