In his writing “Jesus’s Friendship,” Chavez portrays Jesus as a worker and poor. He uses this depiction to persuade his fellow comrades that experiencing hunger and thirst is a part of life. While collecting dues, Chavez went to a workers home who had 5 dollars for groceries. However, to stay in the union the worker had to pay his share in dues. Many would leave the union, but Chavez convinced the man by saying, “we have been hungry before and we are going to be hungry again; nothing will ever change unless some of us make sacrifices” (766).
I believe this “hunger” is a representation of not only their physical hunger but also the want for more in their own lives. This hunger lead them to do wrong, despite wanting to do good, “Well, sir, I ain’t never been mixed up in nothin’ wrong, before nor since, and I don’t intend to be again, but I was hungry that night” (253). This leads me to my 2nd point; when you are hungry for more in your life you tend to not fight for what you want or believe in. “But Edward didn’t holler. He just sat down on the coal.
In the novel Black Boy the main character Richard Wright encounters many obstacles such as hunger in a way that haunts him for ever. For example Richard explains “ As soon as I'm old enough I will buy all the novels there were and read them to feed the thirst of violence.” (Wright 40) This reveals that Richard has not been given the chance to explore and feed his interest in reading and writing in a way that he calls it hunger. This also indicates that Richard wants to explore and expand his imaginary mind to bigger and better things.

However rather than finding the peace his father wanted him to find his mind fills with the desire of revenge against his own creation. Unable to handle the emotional pressure he pursues a lonely trip to the valley of Chamounix. Here the mood then begins fluctuating as he purses internal peace but his guilt keeps tormenting his mind.

The second virtue that Lencioni talks about is hunger. Hunger is an attribute that a team player will have to keep advancing the team and will induce them to look for more to do, learn and more responsibilities. A hunger team member never has to be pushed to do more. When a person is hungry, they are self-motivated and diligent to work with others.
