Well for starters I do not think that Wright is looking for attention but in tries to find some form of entertainment in his boredom. In the first situation the reader comes across is Write secluded in a room with no toys and forced to be quiet. Obviously a little kid is going to get himself in trouble if no one watches over him. As all children he is fascinated by the fire so he decided to go ahead and through things in it. Not being satisfied he lights the curtains on fire.
The second situation is when he is wandering the streets. His mother is out working and leaves her two little children by themselves. Richard is curious about the bars and what the adults do in there. All he does in peep in until someone grabs him and takes him in. It was not his fault for getting drunk, it was the adults that are terribly bad and force a little six year old to drink.
In these two situations I was not the young Wright’s fault it was the parent’s fault for not having someone watch over her kids while away. I understand it was hard for the single mother but she could have asked a kind neighbor to check in sometimes. You cannot blame the child for being a child. Richard was trying to find something fun to do and let his curiosity take charge without truly thinking out his actions.
