The first chapter starts on pg.3 and ends on pg.15. this chapter deals with Bigger killing the rat. I would call this chapter trauma because everyone in the house was being traumatized. The mother was being traumatized by Bigger, and Bigger and his brothers and sisters were being traumatized by the rat. So he killed the rat with a skillet. In this chapter it also explains the type of enviornment Bigger and his family lives in. When ever someone wanted to get dressed everyone else would have to turn around. The mother also tells Bigger that sometimes she wonders why she even gave birth to him.
Analysis-
The point of this chapter is to show the readers how Bigger and his family lives and the type of things he has to deal with everyday. Like how he doesn't get along with his mom and how small his apartment is.
Chapter 2-Playing Games
The second chapter starts on pg.16 and ends on pg.22. It was a hot day and Bigger and his friends didn't have anything to do. So they decided to play a game called "White". Where they tried to imitate the manners of white folks. After playing the game Bigger realized that the white folks don't let the black people do anything. That made him realize that he really has no freedom.
Analysis-
In this chapter they wanted to introduce Biggers friends and what they do together to have fun.
Chapter 3-The Plan
The third chapter starts on pg.23 and ends on pg.29. In this chapter they are in the poolroom making a plan to rob a white guy.
Analysis-
I think Richard Wright put this in the book so people could see how they act like criminals.
