Stroke...
Richard Wright's mother having a stroke seemed to do nothing more then send him into his shell. Wrights initial reaction was fear, not understanding or comprehending the disease that has overtaken his mother. Immediately after the fear subsides, Wright reacts, trying to work and get the money needed to help save his mother. The lack of affection that seems apparent when the reader notices Wright simply being blasé about the tragedy, seeing as Wright has faced so many tragedies before. Wright's lack of emotion toward his mothers disease shows how a hard life has effected him emotionally.

Jordan,
Excellent post! I hadn't thought about his lack of emotion towards his mother's death. Excellent job in picking that part out. I agree that this was probably a result to how hardened he had become because of his environment. I think that this also may have been a result to the longevity of the disease. No doubt the constant moving and constant stress contributed to his "coldening". Good job.
