Compare and contrast what Richard Wright and Zora Neale Hurston learn in their autobiographical pieces?

Richard Wright and Zora Neale learn many different things in their autobiographical pieces. Richard Wright wrote his story when he was 19, and he grew up on a plantation, so it can be inferred that he learned the value of money and the influence of race on personal opinion. Zora Neale grew up in Florida, one of the first African-American incorporated communities in the US, so she learned how to treat others similarly.
