The Slavery and Freedom in Almos’ a Man and That Evening Sun

In addition, because Dave wants to be a man, he is no longer afraid of his enemies, "Oh, even if they are bigger than I am afraid of them!" Dave said he was a bridge The only way to become a man is to shoot a gun and shoot it, "One of today takes a gun and practices shooting" (1012). The explanation of Lite not only shows that Dave is helpless due to freedom of speech, it also shows that he is afraid of his race. In other words, Dave was alienated from (white) society, so his fear was directed to his own race.

In the story of the hero 's Richard Wright Dave "Almos' A Man", he believes that having a gun can make him a man, the opposite is true. Everyone thinks that Dave is a boy, but he still believes that he should be treated as a man. He believes taking a gun solves this problem. Everyone knew that I thought he was a boy, so I felt that Dave had to prove himself. After Dave persuaded his mother and got a gun, his immaturity remarkably stood out. Because of Dave's wrong power, he closed his eyes and shot a gun and did not know how to use it. The bullet killed the scorpion, he did not want to face the result and assumed the responsibility to kill the scorpion, so the maturity of Dave temporarily ended. He did not admit what happened, and made a childlike story. Dave kept shooting guns until he heard the train

The voice was soft and lowered "(430-431). Dave said to his mother, "Alm Amos is a man now, Oh, I want a gun" (431) Then he will continue to go home straight with a gun contrary to her promise. Dave gave guns a lot of attributes to combine him with masculinity, no one can hide, hand him over; they must respect him. This is a big gun. "(431) The reader can hear most of the continuation:" I am a big deal now. "But the gun can not really give the right and responsibility that is manlyness.Dave knows what it is. When he fires the gun for the first time he feels like a man. When he shoots, his hand is numb, "He thought that his right hand was torn from his arm" (432) he was thrown back to the ground. I believe that Dave may be affected by some insight at this point. Although the gun has been decided, the gun may cause great pain, but Dave has already reincarnated this person.
