Wright feels gratified after sharing his writing with his neighbor because he sees that he can have an influence on the lives of other people. He has seen that he can get a positive emotional response from people, which is the opposite of what he gets from his family members. Wright realizes that he can impact other people with the stories that he writes. It not only gives him pleasure but it gives other people pleasure. It gives him the feeling of purpose in life because he has found something that he enjoys and that does not hurt or bother other people. He also feels gratified because he has the ability to read and write and not many of the other people around him can do that. So this in turn makes him even prouder of the stories he has written.

I agree with you, and I really liked how you brought up the fact that he was able to give others pleasure instead of pain like he seems to do a lot (not purposely) at Granny's house. It shows him that he can give something to people that is good, and that he can have a positive influence on them instead of always negative. But I think it also gives him a sense of power as well, being able to give this to others, and also being able to create the story and read and write. Because he is usually the one under the rule of others' wills, it is a huge and short, but momentous moment.
