Quote
"This white man believed in him, and the moment he felt that belief he felt guilty again."(289).
Significance
I chose this because it shows that Bigger does, in fact, continue to feel guilt over what he had done. This will help him in understanding the world he is in. He no longers sees the white people as an unstoppable force, but as individuals, some helpful, some hurtful.
Question
Will Jan stop racism as a self-fulfilling prophecy because of his understanding for blacks?

Quote
"Maybe all of the black men and women were talking about him this morning; maybe they were hating him for having brought this attack upon them" (246).
Significance
I chose this quote becuase it seems to me that this is the first time Bigger really thinks about how his actions have impacted other. This can be seen as the first time he feels remorse. This is important because this will begin to break down the white force into separate people.
Question
Will Bigger continue to feel bad about what he did?
