In my opinoin I think Bigger could've aviod Mrs. Dalton and not have killed Mary, by doing two simply thing. the first think Bigger could have done to avoid Mrs Dalton when she walk in Mary room was to hid under the bed, and stay their quiet, until Mrs Dalton leave the room. After that he colud have and find his way to his room before anybody notice.

Reflection on N.H.D

I think this year NHD went well, it was not as stressful as it was last year. This year i picked my topic before we started diong the NHD project. mostly i had already had my sourses together, and i was able to do my research with no problem. my topic was easy, and the catogary that i pick to do my project on was also easy.
I really like diong NHD it helped me a lot on my research skill. i think NHD really gives you the opportunity to practice historical resaerch and be able to interpret it, and gives you a better understanding of your history. I think most people should take advange of NHD, because it can helped you develope a great skill in college and life itself.

Chapter three

Planning The Big Heist
In chapter three, Bigger and his freinds Gus, Jack, and GH meet at old Doc's pool room discussing their big heis. At first it started with Bigger and Gus and GH hanging out at old Doc's smoking, playing game, and having a conversation about Bigger getting a new job. all of the sudden the word Old Blum came out of Bigger mouth. The gang started asked Bigger why all of the sudden his bringing Old Blums name, bigger then said because they were going to rob him. They as soon as bigger breing up robbering a white person the gang started to get nervouse. Gus with angry said is not going to do the robbery, and the rest of the agreed with him. that robbing a white would mean entering into new territory and dealing with cops. But this idea of robbering old Blums didn't borther Bigger that much, even though he was the scariest of them all. Bigger and Gus got into an aguement with almost lead to a fihgt. while the gang were debating about robbering Old Blums, Old Doc was listening to their conversation. Doc's with the fear of the gang robbing him told them to leave.

Analysis
Richard wright wrote this chapter to compare and contrast of Black boy robbery thier community and the white community. And also to show the world that cops in the 1930's dont care so much about black on black crime, but they do care about black on white crime.

Chapter Two

Manhood
In chapter two Bigger and his were in the movie, watching a preview, when all of the sudden Bigger started looking suspeciouly in the room to see if their were any attendant nearby. After that he then unzip his pant and started to masterbath at his, and looking at Jack, until their both eyes meet. they both started to laugh. then Jack said to Bigger you at it again? Bigger said yep! am polishing my night stick, me too, jack said. they then started to masterbath together. After diong what they were diong for couple minute, they stop and move to new seats. And started giggling thinking about they next person that would come in and sit at the seats they were masterbathing in. finally they started to look at the screen after the preview was over and stated watching the movie in silent. Few minute later after the movie had already started a picture of a whte beautiful skinny girl pop out, and also a comment about the girl, that says the girl name was Mary Dalton the daughter of Chicago's Hengry Dalton, 4605, Drexel Baulervard. With a shock Bigger told Jack that, that was the daughter of the men he was going to work for.

Analysis
Richard Wright wrote this chapter to show that at some state in the 1930's, Black Boyz had nothing better to do but find an empty room somewhere and masterbath and thing about girls all the time. And also to show the world that Black American did not have the same oppotunity to get an education like most White American youth.

Analysis
Richard Wright wrote this chapter to decribe the horryfing condition some African American family lived and the struggle the go through everyday. And i also think that he started this chapter with the sound of an alarm clock as a sin warning to the America as a whole about the dangerous state of race relation in the country in the 1930's.
