In Black Boy, Wright describes events that transpire shortly after

Rashid [163]

In Black Boy, Wright describes events that transpired shortly after his father's departure to have affected his mother in a way that "She becomes depressed and her sons suffered due to neglect."

This is evident in the book as Wright described that after his father left, they hardly went to school due to lack of money.

Sometimes, he has to work on any jobs available. At some point, his mum had to put him and his brother in the orphanage home.

Life became so unbearable to Wright, his brother, and her Mum at some point that Wright's Mother (Ella) got depressed and eventually developed a paralytic stroke.

The book's title is "Black Boy (American Hunger): A Record of Childhood and Youth." It is an autobiography book written by Richard Wright. It was released in 1945.

Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the correct answer is option D. "She becomes depressed, and her sons suffered due to neglect."
