What types of things does Richard "hunger" for and what are the effects (positive and negative) of hunger?
I think that Richard "hungers" for many things like attention, freedom, knowledge, to be save and unharmed and other things. They are things that he seldom gets and that causes him to "hunger" them even more. He will do many things to satisfy his "hunger". He "borrows" Ella's books because he "hungers" to read them, even though he doesn't 100% understand them. In one instance when Granny is bathing him, he utters something that infuriates her and he does not even know what he said. Eventually Granny assumes he learned it from one of Ella's books and Ella leaves in a complete mess.
Though Richards "hunger" to read also leads him to excel in school and he jumps up the 6th grade. This makes him incredibly happy and shares his joy with everybody around him. Then Richard gets the idea that he could become a medical doctor, but he still has no idea of all the money and insane education needed. Plus since he is black it makes his situation even more complicated. Good things can some from Richards "hunger" but he still has a long way to go before he can differ between right and wrong.
