Last week we did a planing for how we are going to find a way to plan something big for the National Constitution Center garden hopes. Well we didn't t go but we came up with ideas of everyone role in the group. The things I pick was being the time keeper because it seemed much easier for me to do for everyone in the group to tell people how much time would left in the group. This is a job for me to do.

  My plan for this meeting was like get everyone to agree on what our group can do to help the people with a new garden. So everyone needs to agree on what everyone likes and lets start to do it as a group. I hope I can bring some ideas that I like and hope everyone agree and we plan of how we are going to do it and how we are going to get there as a group. So lets have a group meeting that goes well.

Last Friday meeting was basied on how we going to plan our journey through the garden group. I think we have the best group in service learning all we need is for everyone to get on the same page. Well all the ideas sound good for the garden I'm interested in doing the planting for the National Constitution Center. Or another idea would be we just plant other gardens that have plants that have dead for a long time and planted them over again make it nice.So I want to see what the next meeting is going to be about.

NEWS ARTICLE

As yesterday on May 16,1930 we caught a man that is black and who is 6 foot 2 and 220 pounds his name Bigger Thomas he is wanted for killing a white girl that goes by the name Mary. Police say it was a party and the two coming home and they were really drunk and he went into the home and rape her at first and then put his hand over mouth while he hears her mother calling her at first. Police say that'' it was wrong sick twisted thing for a man to do that to woman who is help less''. So as her mother calling for her but she can't hear her because bigger has his hand over her mouth and chocking mary until she can't say anything but a few seconds later Mary dies and Bigger gets out of there quickly so he can't get caught in time and the police won't in time. Few days we catch this Bigger Thomas and put him on trial said police. As the results came we found guilty of all charges.

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.
