Chapter 5 "A Kiss Of Death"

Bigger, Mary Dalton and her boyfriend Jan all go out to eat agianst Biggers will of course. They drink and Bigger talks about the past and his childhood. Bigger opened up about his dad dying. Jan and Mary tell bigger that the really want to become friends with him. When there done eating everyone is really drunk. Bigger drove Jan home and took Mary in the house. Bigger started to get turned on by Mary when he takes her to her room and starts to touch her. He laid her down on the bed and kissed her just then Mrs. Dalton walked in the room. Bigger knew she was blind and couldn't see anything so he puts a pillow up to Mary's mouth so she couldn't say anything or move. He then accidently kills Mary. Just when Mary dies, Mrs.Dalton kneels down and prays to the lord to watch over her child and stop her from commiting horrible deeds.

Analysis:
I think that the deepest part of this entire chapter is the time where Mary dies. Just as she dies her mother prays for the lord to watch over her, not knowing she's dying. One of the best parts of the book.
