learning to Live in the South

I think that what Wright's friend Griggs meant was that he couldn't really escape the South, so that he would just have to live in it. I think that since around this time Wright had so many jobs, that he just had to accept the South for what it was. The problem with his is that Wright did not want to do that at all, all he wanted to do was speak his mind. Basically Griggs was just trying to say that he should just deal with it and move on. I don't think that Griggs realizes that Wright not only cannot learn to live in the south, but will not. Wright is as Katie said, a rebel, and it is not in his character to give in and give up. Wright doesn't really understand the stereotypes to the extent that he can accept them, because of his own beliefs. He reminds me of a free spirit, not a bad one, but one who knows what he wants, and will not be broken. He will not be broken into the ways of the South.
