Speech

In a way, Wright is justified in refusing to say the speech. I completely understand his point of view. He is probably sick of everyone trying to shape him into something that the society is pressuring him to be. The principal tells him that he cannot give his own speech because of the people who are going to be at the graduation. It’s going to be a mixed-race event; therefore, the principal does not want Wright to misrepresent the black community nor the school. While I understand the principal, I think what Wright did was justified and very courageous. It was something that Wright had to do to prove to himself that he could actually do something and he’s not suppressed by the society.
