Death Sentence White Man
661 wordsMy name is Jack Moloch and I'm a friend of Mr. Max. I've come in contact with Mr. Max's client, Bigger Thomas, and I saw his case. From the stories of Mr. Max I don't think that it's fair to Bigger to get the death sentence. It is obviously society's fault that he did what he did. I truly don't think that Bigger is a bad guy; he's not a nice guy either. He's just a normal black person, who lives in poverty because, among other things, the white man (Mary's father) over-charges him on the rent. A...

Socially Unacceptable Mary Dalton
645 wordsI believe Richard Wright's story, Native Son, is an effective narrative. Richard Wright believes in the immorality of oppression. He seems to believe in the equality of men ant the value of demonstrating it in everyday actions. He used his book as a tool to vent his frustration, at the world that segregates negroes. His characters, themes and conflicts probably originate from his own experience of separatism. By using such a wide range of characters, he gives the readers who are not blacks exper...

Native Son Mary Dalton
1,083 words... ike Bigger and Mr. Dalton did Richard Wright reveal his themes; he used symbols and motifs to present his message. The use of symbolism and hidden meanings contributes even more profoundly to the theme of the novel. In a fit of panic, when Bigger jumps through the window after reporters uncover Mary Dalton's bones in the furnace, Bigger is overwhelmed by snow in his mouth, eyes, ears; snow was seeping down his back (207). This use of snow throughout the novel translates into Bigger's sense o...
