My reflection on last weeks Service learning was it was fun and I felt good knowing that I was going to be helping out kids I need and I am really happy that I picked that group to work in. Last week we talked about what kind of kids we were going to help out and we watched a video and read a letter from one of the kids that attend the hospital CHOP. It was sad and emotional .i hope this week is as Interesting and fun as last week.

NHD reflection
My NHD project I did for this year’s topic, which was Conflict, and Compromise is Misogyny or Myth women in hip-hop. I also did something really surprising I worked with a partner I usually don’t work with anyone cause I am so use to working by my self but it actually turned out to be a good experience. Yes, we disagreed on some thing we had a couple clashes, but we always still got are work done in a way we both agreed on. While doing this project we did things we never imagine doing and meeting people, we never imagine meeting. We did things like interviewed classmates Juju, Christa, Amie, and teacher/Band member Mr. Todd and underground rapper Chief Honcho. In theses interviews we asked a verity of questions and one of the big ones was "what does hip-hop mean to you?" Over all are project was good and done to the best of are ability.

They soon realize that what they imagined is only a dream. They realize that they can't fly a plan because of the simple fact that they're black

The building in which authorities believe was the hide out of fugitive Bigger Thomas. The medical examiner states that Bessie was hit multiple times in the head with a brick, which was also recovered at the scene of the crime. Bigger Thomas then recklessly tossed her down the air chute .The examiner also confirmed that the blunders to the head weren't the exact cause of death, instead 19 yr old Bessie froze to death. Evidence found at the bottom of the air chute shows that she made many attempts to escape. The medical examiner also states that prior to the struggle she was raped. Bigger Thomas is now in custody facing homicide charges as well as rape. Bigger Thomas is also suspected of murdering two other women during the summer and fall.

you had the chance to meet him?
If I had the to meet Bigger Thomas I would ask him:

Bigger and Gus the second time.
Bigger and Gus got into a fight. Bigger threatened Gus
by putting a knife to his neck. They fought because

5. How would you feel if you were in Bigger's
position, a young poor black boy killing a young rich
white women?
If I was in Bigger's position, a young poor black boy
having just killed a young rich white women, I would
have panicked and would most likely have turned myself
in.
Bloom's Taxonomy ?'s -Synthesis
6. Why don't you devise your own way to deal with want
happened in Mary's room, right before Bigger killed
her?
To deal with what happened in Mary's room I would have
told somewhat of the truth, like when Mrs. Dalton came
into the room I would have said "Ma'am, Miss Dalton is
drunk and she wasn't able to came up the stairs on her
own so I helped her to her room," and I would have
dealt with the repercussions.
