Bloom’s Taxonomy
Knowledge
Q: What was it that awoke the family to what might have been a bad day?
A: An alarm clock woke the family hesitantly to a horrible morning.
Comprehension
Q: What differences exist between Bigger’s reflected attitude and his hidden emotion?
A: The differences between Bigger’s reflected attitude and his hidden emotion are quit obvious. Bigger appears to be this big, fearless, black man that only cares for himself and to top it off, he’s poor. Inside Bigger is this guy that is still finding himself, trying to be a man, in a hidden racist society. Bigger was never able to say the sky is the limit because his feet were plotted on the ground. Wingless, thoughtless, and blinded by the prosperity that was delivered to him by a visionless group, Bigger broke the chains and released some anger. He struck back and hit them where it would hurt, not in their wallets but in those deep blue eyes.
Application
Q: From the information given, can you develop a set of instructions about succeeding in a racist community without demeaning anyone?
A: If I were o write a set of directions to the African American community about succeeding in a racist community without demeaning anyone, my first and final rule would be to live your life accordingly. I say this because you’re only expected to see a certain age and many of us live up to those expectations and few of us prove them wrong. This rule also allows you to choose your path.
Q: Analysis - What were some of the motives behind Bigger starting a fight with us?
A: Bigger was scared of robbing Old Blum's and Gus wasn't sure the he wanted to rob him so they started fighting.
Q: Synthesis - Can you see a possible solution to Bigger scaring his sister with the rat?
A: There could have been more possible solutions for Bigger when he killed the rat. He could of just tookthe rat to the trash like his mother asked him. Being the disobedient son instead of listening to his mother he scared his sister.
Q: Evaluation - How would you have handled the situation when Mary told you that she wasn't going to the university?
A: If I was the driver and she told me she was going to meet a friend and she wasn't going to the university I would of drove her where she wanted to go. Even though by doing that I could of got in trouble by her parents I wouldn't of cared. If I would of got in trouble I would of just took the blame because I know her parents wouldn't of believed me. Since I was black I could of lost my job and her parents wold of believed her because they think she is a good girl.

Hidden Fears
Summary -
Bigger and Gus entered the poolroom and it was empty. They were early and Jack or G.H. hadn't arrived yet so while they waited they started a game of pool. Bigger was playing very poorly because he was worrying about Blum's and the robbery, but he was really afraid of the whole thought. They continued to talk about their plan and thats when Jack and G.H. come in. Bigger hiding his fear tried to make himself feel better picked a fight with his Gus. Jack and G.H. ageed to rob Blum's but Gus was still thinking about it. Bigger got aggravated and started an arguement with Gus. While fighting Biger thought of stabbing him, kicking him, slapping him, and he even made Gus lick his knife. After teh fight they all agreed to their plan. By Bigger starting a fight with Gus that was a way to hide his fear and flip the script to make it seem as if Gus was scared. he hid his fear by acting tough and putting on a front for his friends. By doing that Gus was scrared of him and didn't know what he was capable of so he agreedto rob Old Blum's.
Analysis -
Richard Wright was trying to show us two things, the fear inside of Bigger and his fear of showing his friends and even his family who he was. Bigger putting on a front shows that his friends don't really know who he is and their wasn't no family bond between them. Maybe he is scared to show his friends who he really is and they would of took advantage of him because they would of thought he was tough anymore. By letting his guard down he wouldn't feel comfortable his himself. Alot of people hide their fears but some do it in other ways.

Murder of Heiress
Summary: After a long night of partying and drinking Bigger and Mary returned to the Dalton house. Mary was a bit drunk so bigger decided to walk her to her room when they arrived Mary started to kiss on bigger, not resisting bigger kissed her back. Shortly after Mrs. Dalton came into Mary’s room, afraid Mary would make noise bigger covered her face with a pillow. She was straining to for him to let her go so she started to scratch his wrist. Once Mrs. Dalton left the room he let the pillow go and realized Mary was not responding. Scared out of his mind bigger picked Mary up, put her in a trunk and took her to the furnace before he took her out, he placed a pile of news paper down on the floor and stuck her in. shoving Mary’s head in was a tough task so he took his knife out and tried to cut her head off, when that didn’t work he found a hatchet and with one swing her head rolled onto the blood filled newspaper pill. He quickly shoved her head in and got rid of the newspaper and hatchet. When bigger got home that night boy was he paranoid. What he doesn’t realize is it was an accident and he could have easily confessed.
Analysis: I believe Richard Wright put this in the book because it is the part in the book where bigger finds a strength he never knew he had, he has the power to assert himself against whites. “Wright’s point is that Bigger becomes a brutal killer precisely because the dominant white culture fears that he will become a brutal killer”.

Wake- Up Chicago!!
With no privacy, Bigger is immediately awaked at his mother's first panic attack, as one unexpected guest gets the day started a little earlier. Screaming, Bigger's mother is hesitant about killing the rat and scaring her daughter, constantly taunting her all hours of the night. With this vivid picture in her mind, it was only a mother's depiction to ask Bigger to be " the savior, their nigth in shining armor." As the man of the house he deheaded the intruder (the rat).
Analysis
Richard Wright sent a wake- up call to Chicago and all of the U.S. Warning them of the monster that they were creating, hopefully giving society time to make changes. Unfortunately, the damage had already taken place because Bigger was the man of the house he was expected to make the money even if it meant changing the tune of the alarm.

NHD Conflict and Compromise
Theme: conflict and compromise
The hard part about nhd this year was basically the whole thing. Although i had an idea of what I wanted to do my project on since the end of nhd last year, I never thought that it would have went the way it did. To avoid many of the problems that I contracted this year, I should have continued to work alone. One good thing about the project was that i finished it....... alone. It started off as a play but because of mishaps it had a new title and was in the form of a paper. Last year NHD wemt pretty smooth. I also did a paper last year. this year my topic was completely different i went from the study of understanding an accused murderer to studying the huge impact that radicalist played in women's fashion and politics.
