This famous writer caught my attention and interest more than some celebrities living today have. He was the the man who was born with every disadvantage life could possible throw at him. He lived in a time when blacks were free but still treated as if they were still slaves. He was gay which was something you would want to keep to yourself, because of the risk of getting jumped and even killed. He wasn’t handed anything on a silver platter but made something of himself and made an impact in not only the writing world but in history overall.
When I was looking him up on Google and as I watched and read interviews and speeches I found that he spoke in certain ways to get a message across, and draw people in. This could just have been me maybe hearing things but the way he spoke drew me in and had me really pay attention to what he said rather than just watch him and think yea hes a cool guy, says a lot, did a lot. It is funny because I never thought a writer especially could have my interest and make such an impact on me so quickly. This man should be really exposed to as many people as possible.
