Explanation:

"Black Boy" is an autobiographical non-fiction story that was wriiten by Richard Wright and which was originally finished in 1943, but did not become published officially until 1945. This story narrates the events in the life of the author himself, as he experienced life as a poor black person in the America of the 1920´s both in the South, where he is from, and in the North, where he moves to as he becomes older. Throughout that life, and especially during his childhood years, which in the autobiography appear under the title "Souther Night", Wright experiences what it means to live in total poverty, experience living with a sick mother, an absentee father, religious fanatical family, and also orphanages. In the end, as the author himself explains, he much rather prefer to go with his father, whom he hates, rather than live in an orphanage, and that is why he ends up supporting his mother´s idea of going to find his father. The hate for the orphanage supersedes the hate for his father. This is why the first option is the best answer.
