Native Son

"He felt that he had his destiny in his grasp. He was more alive than he coul ever remember having been; his mind and attention were pointeddd, focused toa goal." (149)

He sounds a little crazy here, but I like this quote. He sounds really determined to rise above his situation, even iif he has to do it in a dirty way. I feel baqd for him and it's sad that he's doing this all wrong, but he's doing it alone, and so of course he'd stray off the right path.

allay: to lessen or relieve

bated: with breath drawn in or held because of anticipation or suspense
