Application:

What questions would you ask of Bigger?

My first and last question for Bigger would be. Why are you so horny all the time? Bigger was masterbating with his friend in the movie theatre. Why would you masterbate in a movie theatre. Also his plans to have sex with Mary didn’t go the way he wanted it to go. Right in the middle of his act, Mrs. Dalton came in. Then he ended up smothering her to death with a pillow. Something is seriously wrong with Bigger.

Analysis:

What do you see as other outcomes for Bigger?

I could see Bigger going to jail for killing Mary. Mrs. Dalton could have caught having sex with Mary, instead of preventing him of the opportunity. There are many possible outcomes that could take place. But this already has had an outcome.

Synthesis:

Can you see a possible solution to Bigger’s problems?

Bigger could go and talk to one of his friends about his troubles. Or maybe, Bigger could go and see a doctor, about why his hormones are so high. Also he could she a psychologist about all of his troubles. For example, him trying to get money, sexual problems, and also he killed a woman.

Evaluation:

Is there a better solution other than killing Mary?

I really don’t know what I would have done, in that predicament. I probably would have tried to escape from the home quietly. I not sure if I would have had put a pillow over her face. But I believe that I would really just run. I don’t what you could have done in this case. But my first option would to run.

This year as the whole school did NHD it seem like they weren't as hard to me because last year I was more focus on the topic. So this year I did a topic on slavery because I wanted learn more about this topic. So when I did get my topic I chose paper again because I felt it was more easier to do and I knew what I what was going to write down. So I wrote it all down and felt good because I done my paper and it needed to be read. When it was read by my social studies teacher Mr. Ackerman and he said it was good for what I did but I need to add my conclusion and more details to my paper. What I learned about this topic was that slavey did start somewhere else before the slave trades began happening. When I got my grade I got an 85 for my paper but I should have added more things.
