1.) He starts depending on Mr. Max to save his life. Mr. Max believes in him and can see that Max wants to help him. Max understands oppression because he is a Jew so Bigger starts to trust Max . “Max was somewhere behind him, lost in the crowd. It was then that he felt more deeply then ever what Max had grown to mean to him. He was defenseless now.” Jan is not mad at Bigger about killing Mary and he starts to understand why he did it.
2.) Bigger gets angry with the reverend because he keeps telling Bigger to pray and believe in god and he will be saved and Bigger is not a religious person. Bigger doesn’t like the fact that people are being religious around him. “ ‘only god can help you know, boy. You’d better get your soul right!’ ‘I ain’t got no soul!’ “

Agreed. I think the quotes you use are really good, too and that the point about Max knowing and understanding oppression is super important.
