Chapter 3-Rethinking and Backing out
Begins on page 14 and ends on page 41 after the first paragraph is finished.
During this chapter Bigger convinces Jake, G.H. and Gus to go and rob a white man named Old Blum. While waiting for the time of the robbery Bigger and Jake go to the movies and they see Bigger- maybe- employer’s daughter and Bigger rethinks backing out of the job offer. So when it is time to rob Old Blum Bigger and Gus get into a fight and they don’t do the robbery. At the end of Chapter 3 Gus and Bigger have stopped fighting and Bigger slices Doc’s pool table.

Analysis-
I think Richard Wright puts this chapter in the book because it shows that you will do crazy things and lie just so you don't have to do something you don't want to.
