"The ones who killed that boy then tried to get money from the boy's family. . . ."
(Bessie.136)
In the events both killed and tried to get ransom money for it. The only difference is Bigger's was an accident and things seemed to happen as they went along while Loeb and Leopold planned their murder a year ahead of time and seemed to have everything in order except for the glasses left behind. Bigger Loeb and Leopold all aeem to be careless but Bigger was actually nervous and the boys found some sort of thrill out of it and did other activities in the process of the murder.
Loeb and Leopold thought they had everything in order but were blind to the smallest details and the little thing is what got them caught. As for Bigger he's trying to get things in order but in the end a little detail like him licking the envelope may get him caught and sent to jail.
"If you were in Bigger's situation would you have tried to run? Or would you have stayed and tried to cover up your tracks like he is doing?
"Do you think you would feel more guilt? Or more frightened?
