Wright's Decision

Wright’s decision to move is a positive move as it is allowing him to move forward with his life and escape from the South he has long viewed as oppressing his growth. He would now be able to move to an area he has dreamed as being more accepting of Africans and Americans and would be more likely to allow him to pursue goals he dreamed of, such as writing. Though he would be leaving his family yet again, in another environment hostile to them, it was the only possible move because it would take too long to save for them all moving at once. Also, he would only be separated from his family for a short time while he saved up money to send for them. This was a good move in the right direction and one of the only possible moves Wright had, with the other being staying in the South, an idea he found truly repugnant.
