Bloom's Taxonomy-Synthesis

In your opinion, how many ways can you describe Mr. Dalton? And why?

In my opinion I thing Mr. Dalton is a very wealthy powerful man, and also a family man. But yet, I also thing his big hypocrite and a big fake.

Mr. Dalton is a very powerful wealthy man, who leaves in a nice neigborhood in a big house, with his lovable family. A man who is also respected for his kind heart, and his big donation to the community and also to the NAACP. His also a well-known man in the city of Chicago.

But yet, I also thing that his a hypocrite and a big fake. He leaves in a big house in very nice quiet neighborhood, but he never tried to sale or bought a house for a black person in that neighborhood. His also a man with higher power, and well respected, but he doesn’t use that power or his wealth to help solve the bigger issued around him.

To sum thing up, I thing Mr. Dalton his a very respected wealthy man who trying to get his name out of the public, But his not aware of the bigger issued around him, and his community.

All Negros are Suspects
by Lamin Conteh

Last week here in Chicago four Negro boys were taken into custody, for the rap and murder of a young white female named Nicole Nokia. Police said that Nicole was on her way to her house, with five dollar in her purse, and two bottle of whisky, when all of the sudden two Negro boys attack her. One of the Negro boy snatch her purse and ran away, and the other Negro boy smacked her, took her upstairs in her room, raped her, and then murder her.

But a witness at the scene said Nicole Nokia was with her boy friend and some of her friend that night getting drunk, and playing the “devil’s music.” The witness also told reporter that she had never seen a niggar boy in that side of the town for a decade. She said the whole neighborhood is white. The dogs are white, cops, and even the house and tree are white. But yet, police still believe that she was raped and murder by Negros, they can see the black fingerprint all over her body.

Some think that police got the idea from a year ago, when a young white girl, by the name of Mary Dalton, was murdered and raped and her bones were found in the furnace in her own house. After being raped and killed by a Negro boy named Bigger Thomas. He then blamed it on a Red boy by the named of Jan. Since then, police have been hunting Negroes and charging them for all the rapes and murders in Chicago. And also a lot of white employee are firing their Negro employees, afraid of being killed or worse, raped.

Now, good people of Chicago the question is: Are all Negros suspected of raped and murder? Does this mean all Negros have to suffer for what Bigger Thomas did? When wills this holocaust of all-Negro as suspects going to end?

Bloom's Taxonomy-Evaluation

In what ways could Bigger Thomas avoid Mrs. Dalton and not have killed Mary?

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.
