The writer of "The Instinct that Makes People Rich" interprets the Midas myth as the story of a man who could not fail.
Chesterton, however, says that Midas DID fail. He starved because he could not eat gold.
Chesterton says that success always comes at the sacrifice of something else, something "domestic." (By this he means that, yes, a millionaire has money but will lack something else, like love or friendship, etc.) He says that people who think Midas succeeded are just like the author of the article -- both worship money.
Chesterton says that worshipping money has nothing to do with success and everything to do with snobbery.
1. a focus on fear and horror
2. an exploration of strong emotions
3. a reliance on mystery and suspense
Poe creates fear, horror, mystery, and suspense when the narrator says that he killed the old man, then describes the events leading up to the old man's death. He explores the strong emotions or the narrator's madness as well. There are no supernatural creatures or events in the passage or in the entire story so 4 and 5 are completely incorrect.

Answer:
Willing to do anything to leave the orphanage.
Explanation:
Richard Wright's memoir "Black Boy" details his upbringing from childhood through the events like his father's absence in the family and also his infidelity. Added to that, the family was experiencing poverty and even his father's dismissive treatment of his own family, his wife and children included.
When he mentions "<em>my hate for my father was not so great and urgent as my hate for the orphan home</em>", we can know for sure that he hated the orphanage extremely. As much as he hated his father for abandoning his family and living openly with another woman, he hated the orphanage more. So, he agreed to go to his father to ask for money so that they can go to his aunt's place in Arkansas. His contempt for the orphanage was such that he was willing to meet the man he hated the most if it means he will be out of the very same place he despises. This excerpt showed how much he was willing to do to leave the orphanage home.
