Ana Marquez July 20, 2012 AP Language&Composition Black Boy The autobiography by Richard Wright, Black Boy, portrayed Richard as a misunderstood black child, teenager, and adult. Richard was born during the early 20th century hence the vague racial terms “black boy” and “nigger’ used throughout the book. Throughout their life, Richard and his family experienced many problems.

The Globe broke three of them. However although the Boston Herald usually reports the story first, the globe ends up turning the initial breaking news item into an enterprise piece or elaborate feature.
