Richard Wright and Zora Neale Hurston were very similar and different in many ways. They saw different perspectives on many issues. They were both in different situations and handled those situations differently. Both of them were African American. They both grew up in the South.

Richard Wright wrote his story when he was 19 and he was born on a plantation near Natchez, Mississippi and eventually moved to Memphis. He learned the value of money and the influence of race on personal opinion.

Zora Neale Hurston grew up in Eatonvillle, one of the first African-American incorporated community in the United States, so she learned how to treat people similarly. She then lived to New York, where she was the first African-American admitted to Barnard College.

Wright wrote "The Library Card" which is a passage from Black Boy in 1945. It is about how he took a gain of chance to grow knowledgeably. While, Hurston's How It Feels to be Colored Me is about her rejoicing the hope and joy of African-American life.
