free as in this night and day of fear and murder and flight” (Wright 30). Bigger’s story did not have a happy ending. His fate was similar to anyone tries to break society’s rules.
As discussed before, Bigger did not choose to have such a complex lifestyle. His fate was already decided the day he was born with black skin.

Sufficientarianism allows “the surplus resources held by individuals above the sufficiency threshold to better slightly the condition of one individual below the threshold” (Freimen 34). This gives the upper class a way to help out the lower class so that they can have the same amount of opportunities
