Chapter 4 pgs. 36-41
Title: I Dare You!
In this chapter, Bigger and all the
rest of his gang are waiting for Gus to get back at
the pool hall, so that they can go rob the store.
Bigger does not want to go and rob the store, because
a white man owns it. So without letting his friends
know that he is scared to go, he tortures Gus, once
Gus arrives at the pool hall. Bigger realizes that Gus
was made it back in time enough for them to rob the
store, so he makes it seem like Gus was late, by
putting a knife down his shirt and making him lick it
as well as many other horrible and degrading things.
Once Bigger is done torturing Gus, Gus throws a pool
ball and hits Bigger in his head. Bigger then tries to
hit Gus back but everyone holds him back to stop him
from killing Gus. Doc, the pool hall owner starts to
laugh at Bigger, which makes Bigger really mad. Bigger
then takes his rage out on the pool table by cutting
it up with his knife. Doc then pulled out his gun and
told Bigger that if he did not get out, he would shoot
him. Bigger told Doc “I Dare You!”
