Read the excerpt from richard wright’s black boy. hunger stole upon me so slowly that at first i was not aware of what hunger really meant. hunger had always been more or less at my elbow when i played, but now i began to wake up at night to find hunger standing at my bedside, staring at me gauntly. the hunger i had known before this had been no grim, hostile stranger; it had been a normal hunger that had made me beg constantly for bread, and when i ate a crust or two i was satisfied. but this new hunger baffled me, scared me, and made me angry and insistent. whenever i begged for food now my mother would pour me a cup of tea which would still the clamor in my stomach for a moment or two; but a little later i would feel hunger nudging my ribs, twisting my empty guts till they ached. i would grow dizzy and my vision would dim. i became less active in my play, and for the first time in my life i had to pause and think of what was happening to me. which best describes why wright includes this anecdote?
