Brian from the story “Hatchet”, faced loneliness and hunger while deserted in the wilderness. First, Brian started to feel lonely, which led him to think about someone. “Brain once had an English teacher named Perpich, who was always thinking positive, being positive, staying on top of things” While Brian was lonely, he also became hungry. “Either back to his father or back to his mother. Either way he would probably be home by late night or early morning, home where he could sit down and eat a large, juicy burger. And there came hunger” This shows how he was lonely and how hungry he became.

Remember the Titans is a classic movie about one African American-populated high school and one Caucasian-populated high school who are forced to integrate into one school/football team in a suburban town in Virginia in 1971. Neither races are obliging to this rash decision being enforced but there was nothing to be done about it. The 70’s were a very difficult time to be a minority especially for African Americans, which is what led to many problems and struggles not only throughout the school, but specifically within the football team. During this time of hatred and segregation, one football team at T.C. Williams High School goes through the struggle of working together with teammates belonging to a different race. Through all of the hardships taken place in the film, the team gradually learns to not define one another because of skin color.

It can be argued that while the physical malnourishment of a young teenager is always wrong, Richard Wright’s metaphorical “Hunger” for success, as driven by his physical hunger, was ultimately a good thing. Although his Hunger was fueled by the abuse he experienced in his life, had he not felt that drive he would never have attempted to get out of his ‘bleak’ situation. For example, Richard’s friend Griggs provided an excellent example of someone without Richard’s Hunger, someone who had been so beaten down by society that all he knew what to do was to conform,

In his short story “The Hunger Artist,” Franz Kafka illustrates this prideful individual, who strives to starve himself to a disturbing and gruesome extent, losing his humanity. Kafka uses symbolism in order to fully create this idea of an individual’s, in this case the starving artist, estrangement from society.

It is not just wanting a sandwich; hunger is present everywhere. The look in someone’s eyes when they desire nothing more than to travel the world, that’s hunger. When a musician spots a new piece of music, and their finger twitch at the thought of being able to play it, they can’t help themselves they need to play it. Hunger is the feeling of love; when a person wants another so much they feel as though they might burst; the need of the one that is not there with them. The feeling in the center of a person who wants to do what they love, but have no time to do it.

As the story begins, the narrator of Hunger is living in an attic room in Christiania. He has not eaten and has no food or money. His rent is due, and he is evicted from his apartment. He meets a woman who he gives a fantasy name, Ylayali, and fantasizes about. The narrator is saved at the end of the first part by a few hours of inspiration that lead him to write a story that is published for ten kroner. However, in exchange, the narrator has given up his home. He has no possessions and nowhere to stay.

In the autobiography Black Boy by Richard Wright, the narrator uses many examples to display his lack of hunger in the world. Wright was an African American boy who grew up in South during the early 1900’s, a time period known as the Jim Crow laws era. These laws depicted racial discrimination and segregation against Black people portraying racist turmoil in United States history. It was a difficult task for Wright to grow up in the South being an African American during this time period. Wright was born into poverty and dealt with many obstacles and hardships especially hunger. Aside from physical hunger, Wright also struggled to connect emotionally with people not only in his family, but also encounters with random people. Wright’s views the South as dark and cynical which motivates him to gain and fill his hunger for knowledge to get a better understanding of the world around him. Wright has many types of hunger that affect his everyday life. Growing up in the Jim Crow South era, hunger is a constant factor in Richard Wright’s life whether it is physically, emotionally, or even hunger for knowledge.

In Franz Kafka’s short story, “A Hunger Artist”, Kafka introduces an eccentric man known as the Hunger Artist. The Hunger Artist has committed his entire life to the art of fasting, allowing himself to be caged and displayed to the public as if he were a painting (Kafka 198). Despite all the emotional turmoil he endures, he takes a great amount of pride in fasting and believes that he can fast for extremely elongated periods (Kafka 200). Unfortunately, his pride not only causes internal conflicts but also tragically leads to his unfortunate demise (Kafka 205). Through the setting and the character development of the Hunger Artist, Kafka illuminates the dangers of self-pride and depicts pride as harmful and detrimental to one’s existence.

The audiences fascination with the Hunger artist's fasting is what the artist lived for. In the beginning of the story the hunger artist's desire for attention is illustrated when the narrator said " much more to his taste were the watchers who sat close up to the bars … He was quite happy at the prospect of spending a sleepless night with such watchers."(299) Even the guards who were appointed to watch over him were enough to quench the artist's thirst for attention. When the Hunger Artist was no longer a source of entertainment a circus hired him as a minor attraction. There the story says,

In "A Hunger Artist," the main character’s lack of fulfillment causes him despair. He reacts to this disparity by starving himself, almost as if showing resistance to the outside world. He views himself as separate from everyone else, thus confining himself in a cage (Bedford 636).

Hunger is a term that is often defined as the physical feeling for the need to eat. However, the Hunger Artist in Kafka's A Hunger Artist places a different, more complex meaning to this word, making the Hunger Artist's name rather ironic. The hunger of the Hunger Artist is not for food. As described at the end of the essay, the Hunger Artist states that he was in fact never hungry, he just never found anything that he liked. So then, what does this man's hunger truly mean? What drives the Hunger Artist to fast for so long, if he is truly not hungry? The Hunger Artist salivates not for the food which he is teased with, nor does he even sneak food when he alone. The Hunger Artist has a
