Material Life
- The peacock scene in Ch.8 (page 178) shows the material life between Guitar and Milkman.
- Ch. 8 Guitar only wants the gold for his TNT and Milkman only wants it to get away.
- Ch. 10 (page 237) Milkman is talking to Reverend Cooper about his father and it shows how much Milkman's family is centered around having nice objects and the "owning" of different objects.
- Once Milkman stepped into the cave on page 251 all he talks about is the smell of money and not about trying to find his past.
- In part 2 Milkman needs to forget about the gold and just focus on his past and find out more about where he came from so he can mature.
- On page 257 Milkman says he wanted the gold just to own it.
- Through his journey to find the gold however he is maturing and finding out more about life that black men face everyday and also about his family history
