"Native Son" Chapter 2

In chapter two Bigger and his friend were in the movie, watching a preview, when all of the sudden Bigger started looking suspiciously in the room to see if their were any attendant nearby. After that he then unzipped his pants and started to masturbate looking at Jack, until their eyes met. They both started to laugh. Then Jack said to Bigger you at it again? Bigger said yep I am polishing my night stick, me too, jack said. They then started to masturbate together. After doing what they were doing for couple minutes, they stopped and moved to new seats. They then started giggling thinking about the next person that would come in and sit at the seats they were masturbating in. Finally they started to look at the screen after the preview was over and started watching the movie in silence. A Few minutes later after the movie had already started a picture of a white beautiful skinny girl popped out, and also a comment about the girl, that says the girl name was Mary Dalton the daughter of Chicago's Henry Dalton, 4605, Drexel Boulevard. With a shock Bigger told Jack that, that was the daughter of the men he was going to work for.

Analysis
Richard Wright wrote this chapter to show that at some state in the 1930's, Black Boys had nothing better to do but find an empty room somewhere and masturbate and think about girls all the time. Also to show the world that Black American did not have the same opportunity to get an education like most White American youth.
