TEWWG Richard Wright Review

Richard Wright was really negative about Huston's writing. He made points about how there is no plot and no hidding meanings. I completely disagree with him. I mean we spent days of class going over meanings and plots in this book. There were so many messages about racial insensitivity and racial tension in the book and Wright goes ahead and completely tears them all down. It's rediculous...Hurston wrote this book I think to kind of open up people's eyes and Wright goes in and disregards everything in the book. From what I hear about Richard Wright he is a good writer but he obviously didn't want to see anything decent in this book. I liked the book overall and I think Richard Wright is dumb as hell for writing this crap.
