Bigger and the people around him have not done much wrong, considering the situation they are in. Richard Wright is portraying real problems, however I feel as if the criticism is not justified.

The speaker is just using their own opinion to talk.

Max was also on Bigger's side. James Baldwin is wrong in this situation in my opninon.

I see more insight on him, and how he grew up as a child. He chased his dreams no matter.

If someone is educated and sees all sides of the argument, then I would trust their opinion very well.

There are reliable statistics that he is basing claims on, but it was only one Baltimore citizen being interviewed. There is not a big sample size.

The Ballad of the Landlord is relatable to this video because it deals with the situation of housing difficulty.

He needed to defend himself in order to put food on the table for his family. If his father is gone, who else shall do the job? A loss of innocence means children grow up faster than normal. Although this can make them more mature, they may also have a resentment towards this, possibly wishing that they could have a normal childhood. The speaker seems somewhat proud, and as he should, he beat an enemy that terrified him the last two times he just tried to get food for his family. Wright I believe is promoting that you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes, even if it is a difficult decision.

Although we do not know their exact age, I'm going to assume they still require their parents. These children at first, love to have the freedom of not being shouted by their father, but they soon realize the essential role of their father, which is putting food on the table. It makes the kids realize what they took for granted before. I have a personal experience with this type of situation. My mom has been gone for 3 weeks for surgery right now. Although it is nice to be able to have freedom, I also realize (just like the kids) that I am still somewhat reliant on my parents, and I have more responsibilities now.
