Answer:
The blacks in America were deemed inferior and only seen as someone lesser, like a young boy among adults. Maybe, this is one reason why Wright uses the word "boy" in his title.
Explanation:
Richard Wright's memoir "Black Boy" presents the author's childhood and also growing up years as a black man in the American South. The book deals with themes of growing up, racism, family, and also a sense of trying to find his identity.
The use of the word "boy" in the title is ironic because Wright may be describing his childhood experiences but at the same time, the memoir covers well beyond his childhood years too. This may also have to do with his feeling of still being a kid despite being an adult.
Also important is how the blacks were perceived by the whites, the "superior" whites. Though same in all senses, blacks were hardly accepted by the whites as their own or equals, and more like inferior and lesser than them. This can also be one reason why Wright uses the word "boy", as a generalization of how his black people were perceived by the whites.
Because it merges the fairy tale stories of the past with the cynicism, and wit of the current generation
Explanation:
The book 'The Princess Bride' is one of the best fairy tales and an example of the form being relevant even in a time when it is not.
The author has deftly used the trope of the form to his advantage and written a classic fairy tale with a setup of folk and traditional tales.
At the same time, the book is original enough and relevant enough for the current generation and holds up with updated humor and wit of this generation.
The author describes the path Mr. Pontellier takes when he leaves the main house of Madame Lebrun in chapter 1 of The Awakening to help the reader visualize the layout of buildings in the novel’s setting.
The image presented ("He walked down the gallery and across the narrow 'bridges' which connected the Lebrun cottages one with the other.") helps you perfectly visualize the setting that Mr. Pontellier is going through at that time.
