Native Son pg. 3-30 "Bigger, sometimes I wonder why I birthed you" (8).

I chose this quote because I think it is an example of how much Bigger is discriminated against. In his own country, Bigger is treated poorly because he is black, but it is more shocking how his own mother and sister both yell at him a lot. It may be because he is rather rude to his family or because he is not eager to get a job. In spite of those reasons, I would think his family would show Bigger some compasion especially since they are in such a difficult situation with race. I think they should try to stick together instead of coming apart from one another.

Why does Bigger's family treat him poorly?
Why does Bigger try to coax Gus into robbing the shop if he does not want to in the first place?
