Answer 2

The story revolves around the narrator who is the main character. By the way he speak (through the dialogue), it may be concluded that he is likely poor, uneducated, and does not want to get involved in any trouble. The other character asked the narrator to pair up with him in robbing some white folks. He convinced the narrator by using against him his physical state of being hungry. At the end the other character got everything and the narrator was left with nothing and even got hungrier. He asked the question of "What is with white folks, and why reckon them?" to his readers.
