Is Richard alone in his hunger for attention? Little Richard has had a very harsh life even though he is only now six years old. His mother constantly beats. his father has left the family on their own for another woman. Therefore, Richard has had to step up and do things a lot faster than most children. Often times, he acts out and does things to get attention. Because his mother does not really give him attention at home, he is so open to other individuals and trusts so many other people thinking they will show him some attention.
Richard is not the only one who hungers for attention or anything for that matter. His mother also hungers for help, a job and maybe some attention for the situation that she is; her husband has left and her job does not make enough to feed the family. She tries very hard to support Richard and his brother but eventually she just cannot and sends them to an orphanage where she knows they will be taken care of. At one point, she takes the father to court but the court believes him when he says he is doing all he can to support his family. Later on she asks him for money flat out but he refuses to give her anything.
Ultimately, his mother hungers for attention meaning she won't pay any attention to Richard. When she doesn't pay attention to him, he then has to act out to get attention from other people.
