The food that so many of us take for granted everyday could mean the world to this young boy, Richard. Such a basic need not being met affects him achieving any of his other human needs in life. In Richard Wrights Black Boy, Richards overcomes the obstacles of hunger and poverty in order to become a writer who is able to shares his experiences in life of suppression with others. Knowledge is information and skills acquired through experience or education. It as well is a basic need that we need in life especially in our society, without knowledge we won’t get far.
This is evident in the journey of a father and son, struggling for food, warmth and basic necessities that one needs to live. This situation puts them in a difficult decision making process forcing them to question to what extreme will they go to survive. It is evident that many other characters in the novel other than the father and son have had an extremely difficulty staying surviving in a civilized way. Some characters in the novel have gone to extreme measures to survive, some of which include eating their own prey. The father does not know exactly how to handle these types of problems, due to the face his main goal is to keep both of them alive.
Throughout this novel we meet new characters each portrait in a certain personality in their own way. Lennie is a migrant worker who is mentally handicapped, large and very strong. He depends on his friend George to give him advice and protect him in situations he does not understand. His enormous strength and his pleasure in petting soft animals are a dangerous combination. He shares the dream of owning a farm with George, but he does not understand the implications of that dream.
For most of these people it’s nearly impossible to get out of poverty because they were born and raised in that culture, unless other people who aren’t in poverty help them out. Poverty is an example of man's inhumanity to man because people could go out and help, but most do
“There are times when it could save your life, believe me.”’ (Bryson p305) Bryson shows us that it is ridiculous the way we feel the need to “have” things to make our lives complete. This man is convinced that this product could someday save his life and that he absolutely “needs” it to survive in the wilderness. People seem to think that we need gadgets or “state of the art” things, in order to have a meaningful experience. At the beginning of the book, Bryson is attempting to prepare for life on the trail, but trying to be practical about the amount of things he “needs” as well as the cost of all of these items. Bryson’s wit reveals how a person’s “wants” gets in the way of them realizing they don’t need extra man-made items when nature offers so much.
The book does a nice job of showing Lennie’s disability and his need for companionship. “I wisht George was here, I wisht George was here” (p.81). Lennie was always relying on George for the things he needed, he didn’t understand how to do things due to his mental disability. The 1939 movie conveyed Lennie as disabled but didn’t make it as drastic. Lennie’s disability was evident but not drastic, “You got enough beans there to feed four men” “Ahh, well I like em with ketchup”.
How school systems always get them I trouble for showing their masculinity. They in other words feminize them to become nicer people and not to show their rowdy and dangerous side. This leads men to become very bored and makes it harder for them to seek the adventure they long so much for. I really liked the book and he bakes up what he says with various scripture references to passages in the Bible. This is good and helps me understand what he is trying to tell me.
The word connotation of the word hunger in the poem means not satisfied not being thankful for what they are witnessing. Most of us live life each and every day with hunger for more, but not realizing that if we would just appreciate more what is given to us, we would find that we have more than enough. “ but must be satisfied, always” (Moore. J.) always in line 22 of the poem which means the author is trying to bring home the point that for all God gives us by waking us up each morning, providing food and clothes for us, allowing us to further our education at place such as NGU, are just a few things that we given daily so we should always be thankful.
Nothing could stop him, or Penelope and Telemakhos, from all of them reuniting with each other once more. The odyssey is both Odysseus’s adventure story more of literal survival but also of emotional survival. Odysseus shows many personalities of himself including, humility, hatred, anger, love, stupidity, cowardly, bravery, unfaithfulness, and reasonable, but compassion is one personality that is missing in this interesting man.

Throughout attempting to survive this adventure, he is also thinking about his wife and son and what could possibly be happening in his hometown but doesn’t really show that side because he does not seem like a very compassionate
