Change

Ch. 12-14 Blog – Is the change Wright sets in motion at the end of Part I a positive or negative change?

Wright's change- his move to the North- is a positive change. He's going to try and change himself so that he can be more himself and won't have to act so subservient to the whites. He thinks that in the North, the people won't discriminate against him so much. His desire to become more equal is a positive thing. The North will help him along that path, even though there is just as much prejudice there, too. So it is a positive change because he's trying for something close to equality, which all humans deserve.

I also think that Wright's decision to move to the North was positive. Unlike some other people he knew, such as Shorty, Wright decided to get out the conditions of the South. While many people chose to do nothing, he took a risk to better himself. There were risks with moving, and I also agree with you that there was still a lot of prejudice in the North, which he was hoping to escape.

Agreed, Agreed, Agreed. Wrights decision to move North was a positive one. It meant a safer environment for which he could live and more job opportunities. But how could it be a negative one? I think maybe by leaving the south he is giving in to what the White people want. I think this is exactly what Wright always fights against. In what ways do you think it could have been negative?
