The Great Depression started with the Wall Street stock market crash of 1929 and began the worst economic crisis in the history of the United States. It had devastating effects on all sectors of the economy for over a decade. Hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs, businesses failed and financial institutions collapsed. Wages for workers who were lucky enough to have jobs fell drastically. The unemployed stood in long lines at soup kitchens waiting for something to eat and many went hungry. The duration of the depression was too long for any community to endure such hardship. Listed below are some of the topics we have briefly addressed and will be expanded as more information becomes available.


The Great Depression had an impact on all but mostly blacks. I say this because when everyone was losing his or hers jobs left and right the race of black people got hit the hardest. The jobs that were left over for blacks were working on the fields for whites, domestic servants for white people and some worked on foundries. A small number of black people worked for railroads, steel mills, coal mines, and school boards. For what little income they had it got lower and lower so they had to live on what little they had and take care of their families.

Chapter Analysis

22-28
In this part of the book bigger is trying to get Gus to say no to the job of robbing a white person. I think he wants to get him to say no to the group because he doesn’t want to be the one who says no because e is sacred that his friends will look at him different. I think they were sacred of robbing a white man because race was still a big issue in those days and robbing a white person instead of a black person would be charted a higher crime.

1-8
In this part of the book the family wakes up to an rat in their home. Bigger tries his best to catch and kill this rat and when he does his mother said that she shouldn’t have birthed him. This means that she thinks she shouldn’t have had him at all. I think she said this because she wants Bigger to become an man and take care of his family. But Bigger doesn’t know what to do he wants to help but with his mother putting him down with everything he does it hard for him to balance his love and hate for his family.

155-164
In this part of the book Bigger is getting questioned about where Mary is or where she has gone. I like this part of the book because it shows you how they went about questioning Bigger and what they got from him. It shows how he was about to tell them that he killed her but didn’t because he eased out of it. I also like this part of the book because it kind of shows how they thought that the black man did it which still happens in theses times now.
