1. Provide a famous artwork (or draw one) that would fit in a certain part of the book. Explain in one well-developed paragraph why this piece of art would fit in your selected place. Use one or more literary terms in your explanation.
My classical book is Black boy by Richard Wright. I drew a picture of a four year old Richard Wright accidently lighting his house on fire. He and his little brother are supposed to stay quiet because their grandma is very sick and their mother doesn’t want them to disrupt her. Richard is getting bored so he starts to play with fire in the fireplace. He swats a piece of coal at the curtains and they burst into flames. Richard runs and hides under the house so he doesn’t get beaten by his mom. His father finds him curled up in a ball crying his eyes out. Everyone gets out safe, except for Richard. His mom beats him so badly he loses conscience and falls ill. I picked this scene of the book because it shows the life Richard lived and the childhood he grew up with. The mood to me would be unbelievable. I didn’t realize how bad parents were to their kids back then even if what the kid did was an accident. Burning the house down is pretty bad though I can understand why Richards mom beat him but till he unconscious.
