Richard Wright Reason:
Richard Wright wrote this chapter to show that African American Kids in the 1930’s really had nothing better to do with their lives. He shows that the kids had to be in dark places in order to express themselves r to relax and have fun. He has shown that what kids do in the dark you really can’t do in the light because it’s really frowned upon or it’s not respected. He also wrote this chapter to show the beginning of his man hood. It gives you the start of where Bigger feels like he has become a man.
