Analysis
Richard Wright wrote this chapter to decribe the horryfing condition some African American family lived and the struggle the go through everyday. And i also think that he started this chapter with the sound of an alarm clock as a sin warning to the America as a whole about the dangerous state of race relation in the country in the 1930's.
