Reading Guide: Think about Wright’s philosophy for this book, as we discussed on Day 1 the week of March 26. WHENEVER you see ANYTHING REMOTELY RELATED TO WRIGHT’S PHILOSOPHY, annotate it!!!o ALWAYS pay attention to Bigger’s and other characters’ feelings of:
o Fearo Shameo Hate
o Pay attention to the outlets to which marginalized communities turn when they are locked into their circumstances or locked out of others:
o Drugs/Alcoholo Sexo Religiono Violence
o Pay attention to any lines that hint at the white caste ideology—Who’s locked in? Who’s locked out? What happens if/when characters imagine themselves disrupting this white caste ideology?
o Pay attention to the way characters react to Bigger throughout the book—who is trying to be kind to him? Who is trying to hurt him or bring him down?
