Answer:

When Bigger says, 'Half the time I feel like I’m on the outside of the world peeping in through a knot-hole in the fence' he means that, he feels as if he is not a part of this world.

Explanation:

Bigger Thomas is a central character from the novel ‘Native Son’ which is authored by Richard Wright. The story revolves around a the protagonist Bigger who is poor and a black man.

In the novel we come across a phase when Bigger says, ‘Half the time I feel like I’m on the outside of the world peeping in through a knot-hole in the fence.’ By this he means that despite being a part of the world, he feels detached. He doesn’t consider himself as a part of it, he feels that this world is beyond his understanding.

Everyone tells stories, whether they write them down or not. Why do you tell stories?
NeX [460]
I think this is more of a personal question than a question that has a general answer. I will explain to you what the question is asking, and hopefully you can come up with an answer. :)

The question wants to know why you personally tell stories. Some examples include, because you want to share your experience, because you want to make people laugh/cry/smile/gasp (depending on the story), because you want to vent, because it makes YOU happy, because it is your passion, because you can express yourself, etc. Hope this helped! Share your final answer with me and I can review it for you! :)
