RIchard Wrights Story

My mother made me read this book in the summer and I thought it would be boring but it wasn't. I think that's because Richard Wright was such an interesting person and had such a hard life. I couldn't put the book down becasue I wanted to know what happened to him. He had a lot of great things happen and a lot of sad things. I think the writer did a really good job making me care about what happened to Richard Wright and the book was not too hard to read either. All in all if you have to write a book report about RIchard Wright I would say to get this book. It has all the facts and it's fun to read.

It's Really All Wright

I thought reading a book about Richard Wright would be boring, but it wasn't. This biography had all the facts about his tough life but it was written in a way that made it interesting. I really wanted to keep going to see what would happen to Richard Wright. He had a really hard beginning of his life because in his childhood he was always poor and hungry. But in the end, he became famous and taught our country about what it really feels like to be Black and discriminated against. I really recommend this book especially if you're studying Richard Wright or any of his books or the Civil Rights Movement. Good pictures, too.

RIchard Wright Rocks

This books tells the story of Richard Wright's life. It is easy enough to read so that you get all the facts, but it is also really exciting so that the reader won't want to put it down. I would recommend this book to anyone studying African American history because Richard Wright overcame his sad beginning and the adversity of prejudice to become a great writer. The author tells it like it is but with heart. There are also plenty of interesting pictures in the book.
