Read the excerpt from Black Boy. From the white landowners above him there had not been handed to him a chance to learn the meaning of loyalty, of sentiment, of tradition. Joy was as unknown to him as was despair. As a creature of the earth, he endured, hearty, whole, seemingly indestructible, with no regrets and no hope. He asked easy, drawling questions about me, his other son, his wife, and he laughed, amused, when I informed him of their destinies. I forgave him, and pitied him as my eyes looked past him to the unpainted wooden shack.

Based on this excerpt, which best describes how being a sharecropper impacts Wright’s father?
It takes away his sense of humor and his interest in his family.
It makes him feel more angry and betrayed by the world around him.
It takes away his sense of humanity and his ability to feel.
It makes him feel such deep pain that he cherishes moments of happiness.
