Read the excerpt from Black Boy. We left. I had the feeling that I had had to do with something unclean. Many times in the years after that the image of my father and the strange woman, their faces lit by the dancing flames, would surge up in my imagination so vivid and strong that I felt I could reach out and touch it; I would stare at it, feeling that it possessed some vital meaning which always eluded me. Based on this excerpt, how did Wright feel about his final boyhood encounter with his father? regretful of his actions angry and bitter at the situation as if he had unfinished business certain that he achieved closure

Answer:

Based on this excerpt, Wright feels about his final boyhood encounter with his father as if he had unfinished business

Explanation:

The expression I had the feeling that I had had to do with something unclean is the one that gives the principal idea of that feeling of unfinished business as well as the expression I would stare at it, feeling that it possessed some vital meaning which always eluded me here the character has the sensation that there's something there that he can fully understand and hopes to find the answer someday.
