Read the passage from Black Boy. I realized that, though ties of blood made us kin, though I could see a shadow of my face in his face, though there was an echo of my voice in his voice, we were forever strangers, speaking a different language, living on vastly distant planes of reality. Which best describes Wright's attitude toward his father in this excerpt?

Annabelle Cooper · Answer 1

Wright believes that their life views are incompatible.

Jonathan Houston · Answer 2

In the passage, it clearly shows that they’re distant to each other. Even if Wright and his father have had many similarities, the next set of sentences shows that it antagonizes it. Wright is not close with his father. He doesn't have a good relationship to his father.
