The book black boy is a book that im reading in class as of right now. I am a junior in high school & i am in Humanities 3. the question i have in class right now is find 3 parts of the book that represent alienation . & my response that i could think of right now off the top of my head is ; when he lit the house on fire and he ran under the BURNING house and hid and didn't want to come out. 2. when his mother sent him and his brother to the orphanage because she couldn't support them financially. and last, is when Richard ran away from the orphanage. now i have too find quotes. which is going to be pretty hard since i dont have a book. man i feel like myy junior year is going too bee veryyy difficult =[
