1) The most important thing of this section I feel is Brother Clifton's funeral. The narrator talks at the funeral which ends up starting a rally. The slogan of the rally, in which signs were held saying Brother Tod Clifton, Our Hope Shot Down. This is important because he was shot and killed by police for doing nothing but bumping into an officer. The speech the narrator gave caused much more problems then helped people grieve. He tells the people that soon Tod Clifton will be just bones in the ground. The only way they can get out of the dark box is by teaching the cops that they can't just kill people who get them angry, especially if they are another race.
2) I think the most intense part of the book is when Ras and the narrator get into it. Ras sends people to follow the narrator. He realizes that Ras is trying to attack the Brotherhood and thinks going after the narrator is the best choice. As the narrator is walking past the movie house the men that were following him grab him and start punching him. Luckily the doorman from the movie house was able to stop it before it got out of hand, but him getting followed and attacked I feel was the most intense of the section.
3) I think the most confusing thing in this section was Rinehart and how everyone he kept running into thought he was Rinehart. The lady, the people following him, and the cop all called him Rinehart but he had no clue what they were talking about. The narrator's name may be Rinehart and because he got lobotomized it may be who he is but he may not remember.
