may9- service learner

During this week i was absent but i happen to research some other things about my group although i was not present. I found out that fundred dollar is very similar to an organization created during the 80's in australia. service learner helped me recognize that there is a lot that still needs to be done in this world and someone has to do it. i am proud of myself to kno that i have decided to be that person to create a change.

Yesterday we began to write letters to printing organizations because in order to create the money we will need a printing company.We also discuss who we will need to help us as sponsors and what we will need from them. Everyone created a letter to a printing company and then we will decide which is the best to send to all the printers to represent what we are about and how they can help us complete our goals

service learning- friday april 25

This friday in service learning we accomplished a lot. Our success unlike the week prior was immaculent. i was proud and for the first time since this project began i felt that we were actually doin something, the students were cooperated and the teacher gave us interesting work. this project has become enlightning and now i motivated to produce quality work.

Yesterday we didnt accomplish much due to the students behavior and the lack of interest in the topic presented. the topic was not exciting so it was something that was easy to enjoy. it was actually a pretty interest part of the project but it majority of the class wouldnt agree becasuse they attention was somewhere else. the truth of the matter is there is to much work to accomplish with ver little time and even fewer minutes for foolishness.

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 Reflection

This years national history day was not nearly as difficult as last years, simply because i had experienced the enormous amount of time and effort in the year prior to the present. Now this sounds remarkable but unfortunitely i haven't been too honest. Honestly this year I attempted to tackled a far stronger and complexed opponent, making the story of my journey to success appear more triumphant, but clearly more complicated. My NHD project consist of the commercialization of hip hop altering its original intent from protest to finacial manipulation. Many ask what does that mean? In basic terms hip hop once was something that spoke for the people, because it was powered by the people, but in modern society it is no longer ran by the peolpe but instead the Corporate America that can not relate to the people, so how could it speak for them? Since this dramatic change occurred my partner Todd Latimore and i decided that we wanted to know how this change appeared and who caused it and what would it take to get it the original hip hop back. This project showed the history of hip hop which is a culture that is prodamnitally black, therefore inlarged my knowledge of my peolple. My project reflects how over time hip hop has placed the wait of its existance in hands that aren't strong enought to carry it.
