Native Song to pg. 30 -3/23

"He wanted to run. Or listen to some swing music. Or laugh or joke. Or read a Real Detective Story Magazine. Or go to a movie. Or visit Bessie." (28)

I believe this quote is significant because it gives us some character development about Bigger's personality. This as well as two other instances in the chapter tell us something about Bigger's thinking process. He's very analytical. Despite his lack of education, he still has the capacity for great thinking. He analyzes every possible step before he takes one. The first example was when he left the apartment and waited on the street. He thought of the various things he could do that day, even taking into account the amount of funds he had for each venue, then decided on a course of action. The second time was when he got angry at Gus. He thought of the various ways he could hurt him out of anger, the options running through his mind at once. This is the final example of Bigger's analytical mindset. He thinks of all the things he could and wants to do, then finally opts to go see a movie.

What does G.H. stand for?
Is Bessie his girlfriend?
