Wall Too Wall


Within this chapter we as readers get an inside perspective of the mindset that Bigger Thomas has on his life. From the time that he spends trying to kill a rat that made it’s way into his one bedroom apartment to the reading of the words “YOU CAN’T WIN” flying across the sky liner of Southside Chicago, and all in between is a young black male who is stuck inside an mindset which can’t seem to stem past the walls of his little mind and more so poverty stricken Southside Chicago. So how will Bigger escape this little world of his, which does not go past those four walls? The answer is yet to be determined…………


Please Say No


Bigger and his friends come up with a plan to rob a store owned by a white man by the name of Mr. Blum. This is a turning point in the book of fear for the fact that Bigger and his gang have never robbed a white man. As Bigger forces his friend Gus to go along with the plan when he really wants him to say no. But why, Because Bigger is nothing more then a poser under pressure. Bigger really does not want to go along with it but to keep his manly image he will do what ever it takes to keep his name. So will he go through with it? Who knows what will happen at quarter too three…………

Quarter Too Three

At this point Bigger is pleased with the lateness of Gus. He’s happy because he is praying that they do not have to go through with the plan. But not too much later did Gus show up and bigger surly beat that living hell out of him. Bigger did that because he didn’t want to face his fear of robbing a white man. So how did he handle it? Caused a conflict with the group to prevent the plans from going through but in the larger picture to keep his name.

NHD

What does NHD mean to me? It means nothing but hrad work that I don't look foward to. While NHD can be rewarding in they long run for some, and for others just a waste of time. I look at it as a race, a race that you have no choice to run in even if you find yourself ready to faint. Which leads me to my point, NHD is kind of a image game for our school. We focous so much on the outcome of our projets that we forget all the things that are going on around us. For example, NHD went all through the month of Febuary which is by that way Black History month. And not once did we foucus on that. It sounds kind of crazy seeming that we are a history school. My point is that NHD should not be made the center of this schools core everytime it comes around. For NHD will not be on the PSSA'S or the SAT'S!!!!!
