Why He is Not a Man

Why He is Not a Man In the story “The Man Who Was Almost a Man” by Richard Wright, there is a boy named Dave. Dave is a young boy trying to figure out what a man really is. Right now, he believes that a man is someone who owns a gun. Dave needs proper education about guns and needs the knowledge about what a man really is to be a man. Dave needs to …

…and that he does not know what a man is. Dave needs a man to teach him the real meaning of a man. I think at the end of the story when Dave gets on the train, he will learn what it really is to be a man. Dave needs to be taught what a man really is because he is not a young man just because he has a gun. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography** April Martin
