What is Hunger Really?
Both titles go with the book but American hunger goes way better. The truth of the story is inside that title along with a real story too. There is much more relation in the story of black boy with American hunger. I will prove that American Hunger is the more appropriate title for this book and was meant to be named that. This is a lesson to say the least and go with your first choice in mind most of the time. Richard has different types of hunger but one that is right before our eyes is the hunger to learn and do things. He read Ella’s books without anyone knowing because he wasn’t supposed to but had that drive. When he got home from school that day he was proud that he learned something so he wrote it on the windows to show the world what it was that he had learned even though it wasn’t appropriate. Also when Richard burned those curtains it was curiosity to learn what it would look like on fire so that he did. He had a passion or hunger to learn what this and that was and when he did he wanted everyone to know. To have the huger for food is really tough but some were unfortunate enough to experience it and Richard was one of the unlucky ones to do so. His father left his mother for another woman so when he left the money did too. He went awhile without food till his mother got a job to provide something for him and his brother to eat. The mother could not look after them and work so she sent them to an orphanage to be well kept which they went at all. Getting fed bread was not fulfilling and having to work with little energy. The times when Richard kept getting jacked for his money on the way to the store was hard because they didn’t have money to just get robbed every day and he knew that if he wanted to come back in the house or get to eat again he had to do what he had to do. Richard wanted to be himself and live life how he wanted but not in a wild way. He wanted to go up north because he
