Wright Vs. Uncle Tom

Wright was very angry with Uncle Tom during one of the chapters that we were assigned to read this weekend. He was mad with Uncle Tom because Uncle Tom tried to beat Wright for something that Wright did not do. He felt like the beating that his Uncle Tom wanted to bestow on him was ridiculous because he felt as though he had done nothing to deserve it. 

Wright then began to almost provoke his uncle Tom to beat him by calling him a stranger and how he had no right to lay a hand on him. This is justified because Wright only met his Uncle Tom one week prier to this event. I think that it was acceptable for Wright to fight off his uncle because he did nothing wrong to deserve a beating. His uncle continued to try to attack him because he felt that he was justified in doing so. This was the first time that Wright resisted a beating, when the event took place, and later did not receive a beating for his action.
