Planning The Big Heist
In chapter three, Bigger and his freinds Gus, Jack, and GH meet at old Doc's pool room discussing their big heis. At first it started with Bigger and Gus and GH hanging out at old Doc's smoking, playing game, and having a conversation about Bigger getting a new job. all of the sudden the word Old Blum came out of Bigger mouth. The gang started asked Bigger why all of the sudden his bringing Old Blums name, bigger then said because they were going to rob him. They as soon as bigger breing up robbering a white person the gang started to get nervouse. Gus with angry said is not going to do the robbery, and the rest of the agreed with him. that robbing a white would mean entering into new territory and dealing with cops. But this idea of robbering old Blums didn't borther Bigger that much, even though he was the scariest of them all. Bigger and Gus got into an aguement with almost lead to a fihgt. while the gang were debating about robbering Old Blums, Old Doc was listening to their conversation. Doc's with the fear of the gang robbing him told them to leave.

Analysis
Richard wright wrote this chapter to compare and contrast of Black boy robbery thier community and the white community. And also to show the world that cops in the 1930's dont care so much about black on black crime, but they do care about black on white crime.
