A real story exemplifies a situation that Bigger faced.


This story happened in Philadelphia, a black man killed but not only killed 3 white women he also raped them. As on the story about Bigger he killed Mary but the people are thinking that he raped her before he killed her but we know that he did not. The Murder name is Antonio Rodriguez and he is charged for the following Murder, Rape, Involuntary Deviate Sexual Intercourse and Abuse of Corpse. Also he confessed to murdering an unknown fourth woman.

reaction of ending capter 2, most poignant quote and why?, why are the 3 books tittled this way?

The ending I ready expect other ending I though that Bigger is going to get away from the police but it didn’t happened he actually got caught I got to say that Bigger made it hard for the police to caught him. but it was exiting though and impressive how Bigger fought against a bunch of police surrounding him. one quote poignant that I found in chapter 2 was this "He would shoot when they were closer and he would save one bullet for himself. They would not take him alive"(page 250). I chose this quote because it made me thing that how many people have killed themselves for something he did and maybe it wasn’t necessary to kill themselves but the sad thing here is that they do it anyway. Each book has its own title the first one is call "Fear the second one as "Flight" and the third one as "Fate". These 3 title are steps of life that any one had felt or do in their life. Like Fear I pretty sure that there is no one that hadn't face that. Flight also I could bet that no one hadn't ran away from something or someone. Fate is one of the things that any one can't avoid in their life.

"At War: Bigger's Id, Ego, and Superego Compete"

"He had his hand on the doorknob, waiting, his muscles taut. He had to be careful with his answers now. And yet he knew he had a certain protection; he knew that a certain element of shame would keep Mrs. Dalton from asking him too much and letting him know that she was worried. He was a boy and she was an old woman. He was the hired and she was the hirer. And there was a certain distance to be kept between them" (p. 121). In this quote Bigger ID want to come out because he can do stupid things like act different shaking while talking act with brutality like a dog stars barking when its afraid of something but his EGO isnt letting it out his Ego is keeping him safe from being suspected about something because he is talking with security. His Superego does not involves here because his is conscious of what he did.

"But of the whole business there was one angle that bothered him; he should have gotten more money out of it; he should have planned it. He had acted too hastily and accidentally. Next time things would be much different; he would plan and arrange so that he would have money enough to keep him a long time" (p. 123). In this case Biggers superego acted at the beginig of the murder because he acted like a dead man because cutting someones head is sick and hard to believe. Also Biggers ID had a place in the murder becuase he acted like an animal who eat his dam with fury. before all that his EGO acted because he actualy thoutht of what next hi would do but after that his ID and Superego takes control over him. Right now he is thinking with his EGO because he is thinking of how he could do better next time he does that thing of killing.

reactions when I read Bigger killing Mary.

The first part when Bigger killed Mary I got mad because just for his own good to keep his job he had to kill Mary that is unfair and not right. I know that it is his firs job and that it is a big deal for his family but that is not an excuse to kill somebody, he can get another job later. killing someone only to keep his job that does not make sense to me. After kissing her and had a chance to touch her breasts also her entire body and steel he killed her. I would never do that to a girl and more after the chance that Bigger had with her. But in the other hand he was scared and I agree with him in that point, being scared can make somebody lost their mind and do horrible things.
