Read the excerpt from Black Boy. A quarter of a century was to elapse between the time when I saw my father sitting with the strange woman and the time when I was to see him again, standing alone upon the red clay of a Mississippi plantation, a sharecropper, clad in ragged overalls, holding a muddy in his gnarled, veined hands—a quarter of a century during which my mind and consciousness had become so greatly and violently altered that when I tried to talk to him I realized that, though ties of blood made us kin, though I could see a shadow of my face in his face, though there was an echo of my voice in his voice, we were forever strangers, speaking a different language, living on vastly distant planes of reality. Which best explains Wright’s assertion that he and his father “were forever strangers”? Wright is stating that he is emotionally disconnected from his father. Wright is stating that he has no desire to know his father. Wright is stating that he does not physically resemble his father. Wright is stating that he regrets his connection to his father.
