Ending reaction to book two

  1.  What is your reaction to the ending of book two? I was shocked to how the book came to end because i would of thought that Bigger would of put up a longer and harder fight, in the end it seemed like he didn't care anymore. Like he said he wasn't scared anymore and maybe that was why he gave up so soon, because he no longer care what happened to him or maybe he thought that they were going to shoot him so he didn't care.
  2. Most poignant quote and why? "He opened his eyes and saw a circle of white faces; but he was outside if them, behind his curtain, his wall, looking on"(pg. 252). This quote not only gives readers a flash back of when Bigger described being separated from  his family by the wall curtain, but it tells us the differences between both races, the double signification of the quote is what made it an appealing quote.
  3. Why are the 3 books titled this way? The books are titled this way because in the first book Bigger is scared, he had killed Mary and had started to work at the Dalton's home, in the second book Bigger is trying to runaway (leaving) because he is trying to get away and not get caught for killing Mary. And as for the last book his like is all based on his fate , he can't do or say much to change his fate, his life is all on what the white people decide to do with him, its all out of his hands.
