up to 340 part 2

"They stood in the middle of the floor, crying, with their arms locked about Bigger. Bigger held his face stiff, hating them and himself, feeling the white people along the wall watching. His mother mumbled a prayer, to which the preacher chanted" (300).

The quote shows how much grief the Thomas family is over Bigger. His mother, brother, and sister are all supportive though. The fact that Bigger feels the hatred towards himself shows that he is not pleased with his actions.

How is Bigger's family going to take his sentencing?

How is this going to affect the Thomas'?
