This question is based on Richard Wright's Native Son. The family that donates to charity is

Analyze the question: The question is about Native Son by Richard Wright. It asks which family is known for donating to charity.

Concept: In the novel, Bigger Thomas, a young Black man from Chicago's South Side, gets a job as a chauffeur for a wealthy white family. That family is the Daltons. Mr. Dalton is a real estate magnate who owns the overcrowded, overpriced South Side housing where Bigger's family lives. He is also a philanthropist who donates money to Black causes. He gives millions to educational institutions, sends ping-pong tables to Black youth centers, and gives Bigger his job as part of his "charity" programme. Wright uses this to show the irony of white liberal philanthropy. Dalton gives gifts to the community while profiting from the same system that keeps Black people poor.

Checking the options:

• A. The Thomases: Bigger's own poor family, who receive charity rather than donate it.
• B. Buckleys: Not the donor family. Buckley is the state's attorney who prosecutes Bigger.
• C. The Daltons: The wealthy family of Mr. and Mrs. Dalton and their daughter Mary. They are known for their philanthropy, so this is correct.
• D. The Earlones: Not a family from the novel.

Exam tip: For Native Son, link each family with its role:

• Thomas = the poor family (Bigger)
• Dalton = the rich philanthropists (employers)
• Buckley = the prosecutor

Remember "Dalton gives dollars" to recall the donor family quickly.
