Richard Wright's family and classmates had complex reactions to his early writing endeavors. Their unfamiliarity with teenagers expressing themselves through stories and their limited exposure to fiction may have shaped their responses. Additionally, cultural attitudes towards imaginative writing, especially within African American communities, played a pivotal role in their perception. The historical limitations and societal pressures faced by African Americans during that era further influenced their views.
