A letter to Bigger Thomas from The Native Son, by Wright.

Dear Bigger Thomas, I have been reading your case, and I was left stunned to the capability to your behavior and handling tight situations. When you killed Mary I understand you did unknowingly but what exactly got in your head to cut her head off so she would be able to fit in the furans? Even thou you handled the situation with much calmness, but you still ended up killing your girlfriend Bessie. That is …

…something like this just had to be."(358) That responses answered every question I had about you. Why would you care what happened to others, when all this time you taught the world was out to get you. Your prejudice for white America grew so deep, that you did not care what happened to others including yourself. That is how you were capable of such gruesome ideas, because you had no remorse for your own life.
