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 re

ally 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?

Looking at Gilbert's feelings on time, the
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

B. False

Explanation:

The question above is related to the story entitled "Another Place, Another Time," written by<em> Cory Doctorow. </em>It focuses on the protagonist named Gilbert and his curiousity about time. When it comes to Gilbert's feelings about time, he believes that <em>time is another dimension </em>and <u>people are capable of going back or going forward</u><em> (in a similar fashion to that of time trave</em>l). So, this makes the statement above as "false," because it didn't focus on time as something we have no control of, but<em> something we can control.</em>

This explains the answer.
