2nd period pages 97-156 Joey Guerra 3rd Essay Prompt

     I hate Bigger. He is too caught up in himself and doesn't care about others. He is happy about Mary's death, it was not an accident he says, "No; it was no accident, and he would never say that it was. There was in him a kind of terrified pride in feeling and thinking that some day he would be able to say publicly that he had done it."(Wright 106) He just wants attention and revenge on the white race. He feels pride with murdering someone higher in class with him. He wants others to know about. He is out of his mind. After a killing her the book says, "It was the first time he had ever been in their presence without feeling fearful,"(Wright 113) "He was full of excitement"(Wright 141) and "He felt that he had his destiny in his grasp. He was more alive than he could ever remember having been; his mind and attention were pointed, focused towards a goal."(Wright 149) These quotes prove that the deed that Bigger has done has made him feel more alive, better about himself, and without fear. It does not matter how he feels, he still killed an innocent girl.
      He thinks he is dodging everyone, he says, "Jan was blind. Mary had been blind. Mr. Dalton was blind. And Mrs. Dalton was blind; yes, blind in more ways than one."(Wright 107) This quote shows that Bigger thinks that no one knows or will find about about what he has done. He seems cocky. He even decides that he wants to write letters to Mr. Dalton from Mary to get thousands of dollars. It's obvious he will not get away with doing all this. He is so short minded. He only cares about money and himself.
     I feel like everything Bigger has done has been completely wrong. He could have not put Mary in the furnace and maybe brought her to the hospital to try and revive her. He could have not suffocated her in the first place and he should not have drank so much that night when he was on the job. He is lying to everyone, showing off his big chunk of bills, and is digging himself into a bigger whole. Someone will catch Bigger and he will be completely screwed.
