"Who Is Bigger Thomas"
Bigger Thomas is a Twenty year old African American male who lives in poverty in the rough streets of Chicago. He lived with his mother,younger sister, and brother in a small one room, rat infested apartment. Bigger Thomas never graduated from high school leaving him to just hope for a way out of poverty. He has a few friends that he hang out with. Their most popular hangout spots are the movies and the pool hall. Since he doesn't have a job majority of his time is spent hanging out with friends and his girlfriend.
One faithful day Bigger Thomas' life took a turn for the better when he went in for a job interview to be a driver for a rich family the Daltons. At first Bigger was hesitating to go in for the interview because of the Dalton's race "white" and he didn't know what they'll think of him or if they'll accept him since he was black. But eventually he finally built up enough courage to go inside. Once inside he met with Mr.Dalton who thought that Bigger was the right person for the job so he gave him the job with the salary of 20$ a week. Also he got his own room and was fed all for just driving a car, it was the life for Bigger.
Now that Bigger had the job it was time for his first assignment. He had to give Mary the daughter of Mr and Mrs. Dalton a ride to an event at her University. But Mary later told Bigger that she is not going to the University and for him to take her to 16 Lake Street where she'll meet up with one of her male friends. After reaching their destination they picked up a guy named Jen then headed out to go eat at one of Bigger's hotspots. Bigger was very hesitant to go inside at first because he didn't want people he know to see him with white people. But after all the nagging of Mary and Jen he finally went inside. They ate and had a few drinks, but had a few too many where Mary and Jen became drunk. Afterwards Bigger dropped off Jen and headed back to the house. There they met Mary's mother and since Bigger didn't want their mom to find out that Mary was drunk and that he didn't take her to the event he killed Mary and threw her into the furnace.
Now Bigger is in jail for life with no parol for the murder of Mary Dalton and he lost everything. His job, family, girlfriend, and friends maybe he should've thought twice before killing Mary over something foolish.
