change

At the end of part I of the book, Wright moves to Chicago. I think this is a positive change for him for several reasons. First off, he wanted to leave the south for such a long time, basically his entire life. It was almost a goal for him to leave the south, not just a want. He achieved this “need” based goal, which, by itself it’s great, but furthermore, I think it gave him something that he could believe, believe that he could achieve something. It was also good for him to start planning his own life out. He gets to be independent. Even though being away from his family might be hard for him, I think it is almost better for him because he doesn’t have to worry about his family or anybody around him getting mad or upset about his decisions.
