Not everybody has an adept childhood growing up. We all strain in not just mental, but also in physical ways. Just sometimes we don't notice it in people. In Richard Wright's novel Black Boy, Richard suffers from physical, emotional, and mental hunger. Richard had suffered from physical hunger. Physical hunger is as bad as getting eaten alive. Your starving, nothing to eat or drink. It's very painful. Richard was an endangered animal with no prey to hunt. He needed to consume energy from food to increase his physical ability. Richard had no food whatsoever in his house, nor did he have money to go get food form anywhere. He was stuck at home, no food, no father, and no money to spend. Richard also suffered from emotional hunger.
