Wright's realization
The end of the book kind of depressed me. Wright comes to a realization that humans will never be able to unify. It seems like when he comes to this realization, it severely depresses him. He also seems to think that life will never be as good for him in America as he thinks it should be. So he eventually expatriates himself to Paris. I think in a way Wright is correct. The human race may never be able to completely unify. I do not like to think about that, because it depresses me, but I do think it is true. I do not know if there will ever be a time when all races will be treated equally, or when people will not be discriminated against because of their religion or sexual orientation. I hope that someday this will be, but it seems that people are, as we have talked about before, inherently subjective. And if there continue to be people who have prejudices, then they will continue to be passed on.
