Black Boy
This week I read chapter 6, 7 and 8. Actually to me these chapters where the most interesting to me so far and the best so far. In these chapters is his finishing grades of school and he gets allot of jobs in these chapters. But something i found most interesting is that at the end of his school (graduation) He was chosen to give a speech which is a great honor. So he is told to write a speech but then the principle one day tells him to come to office. There the principle gives him a speech and tells to say this speech. But Richard said “no i want to read my own speech.” But the principle said “but I am more experienced than you with talking to white people and white people are going to be there”. Richard still said “no I want to say my own speech” Then the principle starts to threaten Richard with things like if you don’t say my speech then you don’t graduate. But Richard stayed with his own speech. The principle had people coming to richard like his uncle and the whole school and even one of his best friends all told to read the principles speech. Even when the uncle came he asked Richard “can I see your speech” Richard handed him the speech. Then THe uncle (uncle Tom) asked “can I seethe principles speech.” Richard handed him the principles speech. Uncle Tom went to his room then came back after a few minutes. Then he said “the principles speech is better.”I don’t care if the principles speech is better, is probably is. But I want to say my speech because it sais what I want to say” answered Richard.
