Chapter 5: I Wanna fly, pages 14-17

Reak down of Chapter:
Bigger walked towards the poolroom when he saw Gus and asked, “If he saw Jack?” Gus said, “ no” and then the two of them enjoyed a nice cigarette break while looking into the sky and dreaming of the various things they could do if they weren’t black. Things like flying high in the sky or having a high paying job to support his family.

Richard Wright wrote this piece to sell this perspective that black men are the “ INFERIOR” as well as the scapegoats for the violence that is caused in all society.
