End of Part Deux (isn't that 2 in french?)
At the end of part I Wright decides to move north with Aunt Maggie and his brother and mother. I may have misunderstood the prompt, but I believe this change to be a positive one. Wright was walking down a dangerous road in the South and he was walking closer and closer to getting himself killed. Moving North was safer because in the north he is unnoticed and lost in the gulf of people. The problem with Wrights move north is I think he believes it’s the answer to his problems. Moving north is definitely advantageous to his life but it will not end his trials and tribulations. Even in the north Racism runs deep, a lesson learned when Wright was selling KKK papers. I would like to think Wright’s life gets much easier in Part 2 but from the first half of the book I’ll bet not.

Maggie,
I think you come to a good conclusion at the end of your post. While we certainly hope Wright's life will be easier and he won't have as much trouble in the North as he did in the South, but it's doubtful that will happen. As you mentioned, moving to the North isn't the answer to Wright's problems. He will run across the racism and difficulties there as well.
The question then is, what will he do after he comes to that realization?
Good post girl, keep it up!
