Which best describes the author’s purpose in including this anecdote for Black Boy

- To clarify Wright's father's attitude, personality, and values.

Explanation:

This assists the author to reveal to the readers that Wright's father was an irresponsible and reckless man with no values who had left his mother deserted to 'raise the children and forcefully tries to get physical with her.' It gives the readers a perspective about his father's imprudent character and understand the difficulties faced by his mother(staying hungry but still working to raise the children alone).
