Native Son- End of Book 2

Quote:"Round him surged a sea of noise. He opened his eyes a little and saw an array of faces, white and looming" (270).

Significance: Bigger can no longer run. He cannot hide from white people anymore. They officially own him on terms of how the rest of his life will turn out. They could torture him or they could just instantly kill him. After all of the times where he has laughed when he almost died, he now seems to realize everything may have not been worth it and that he now has to face the consequences of his actions. White people engulf him and he cannot escape now.

Question: What will they do to Bigger as punishment?
