Now in the story we know that bigger had killed Mary. The Dalton’s ask Bigger were there daughter had been, and he had said the same story over, and over again. The Dalton’s decided they need to get a private investigator, to find out if bigger is telling the whole truth. From all the questions that had been asked by the investigator Britten he accuses bigger of being a communist. He made that accusation because bigger had taken the pamphlet. Bigger had gotten the pamphlet from Jan, so they want to ask her questions. Bigger became so mad about the situation he decided he will make a ransom note for 10 thousand dollars, but it comes to mind that Bessie accused bigger of killing Mary, and he admits to it. The press starts to come, and causes a big commotion. So now that Bessie knows that he killed Mary, the press will think that he raped her, and killed her so he wouldn’t get into trouble. The money was dropped off, and Bigger had received it. Bigger is stuck in the building, and he knows the press is right things about him, like he raped Mary. Hw wants it all to end, but it will not. He has nothing to eat, and he wants a place to stay. One man told the police it they found bigger they would turn him in for some money.

Reaction:
My reaction to that quote before I went on to read anymore was maybe Mr. Dalton, was trying to help bigger. As i started to read again you could tell he was only looking out for his family, because he wanted what was right for them.
