NHD Reflection

Imagine you where a black student in Little Rock, Arkansas and you where a teenager and you walk threw a crowd of angry mob. What would you do? What would you be thinking? Well back in 1957 nine students walked threw an angry mob of white people who were mad and felt as if an other race was taking over they land so they refused. In this essay I will discuss why I choose this topic, where did I get my resources, and my challenges and success on this project.
First I will explain why I choose this topic. I choose this topic because it was one of those topics that caught my eye I felt as if I can really get into this topic and express my feelings. I think that this one I have this year would go much farther than the one last year and I can really plan my thoughts out and really tell the story and my point of view. I really love this topic and I think my board will express how much my partners and me enjoyed it.
Next is my resources I get most of my resources from the internet and I got two book resources which is called Warriors Don’t Cry and Understanding little Rock High incident one is by Melba Patillo Beals and the other one is by Melba Pataillo Beals and the other one C. Ford William. Like I said before I got a lot of my resources from the stuff that I never knew like they didn’t start off as the little rock nine it was a name just giving to them and they are known in American History Books I also learned what happened to the students after and it’s still move to come because I’m still looking for more information because I feel as if it’s never too much information.
Lastly are the challenges and the Success. The challenge for us I would have to say was deadline we never met the deadline for anything that needed to be passed in other than that we were all right. Successfully we got our project done and I think some of our successes was getting the right pictures and working together as a team. The only thing I would change is meeting the deadline as I said before and getting more organize but other than that Me and my partners Derelle Ivery and Antoinette Marks really enjoyed doing this topic and we look forward of working together again.

NHD Reflection

For NHD I did a group exhibit with me and my partners Derelle Ivery and Antoinette Marks. Our topic was Little Rock Nine it is about nine students who desegregated little rock central high school. I learned a lot from this topic not just from my research but also from just working with other people it taught me how to relate with my peers in school. I would have to say the most challenging thing for me and my group was dead lines we was always late in handing in all the stuff we need and also it was hard finding a lot of research for the topic because we wanted enough research that we should be able to have troubles with making a theme because of all the research we had. Successfully we did overcome the project we had great annotations and we broke our board down and made a theme that all of us agreed on and we agree to do the before and after theme. Overall this was a great project I really got along with my partners and we did a lot of research that’s why it showed in our board and we advanced to the next round.

School wide Service Suggestion

-Giving back to the community

-Helping out a child centers (like kids with low self-esteem, behavior problems, divorce parents etc.)

-Making Philadelphia better (cleaning up the streets, help paint vandalizing buildings)

-Helping out with mural organizations

-Working with the elderly

All the ideas I came up with I really just thought at the moment of what I should do but I really wanted to give back to the community. I was thinking about calling the big brother and big sister organization and asking can I sign up or we can do it as a school wide thing and we can call the head of the organization and arrange a schedule that we can come and talk to the kids who are involved in the program. I think it will be a great idea because we can keep in touch with that child and we can continue on being a role model for that child.

Poor living

Porsha Notes

Chapter 1 "Wake Up" 

Brrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing

''An alarm clock clanged in the dark and silent room"

This chapters is based on waking everyone up that lives in bigger house.It is a dark and cluttered room which everyone sleep in and when one person get dressed the others have to turn they head.I think that this chapter also is trying to wake up the society. I think that it's letting them look at a reflection of they selves and how the neighborhood environment have a cause on they kids behavior.i think it is telling everyone to wake-up,do better for they family and they self.

Chapter 2 "Bigger finally makes his big decision'

Was what bigger heard about rich white people really true?Was he going to work for really people like they saw in the movie?

Bigger finally makes a decision whether he's going to take the job or dig up twenty to spend on a movie to help ease his growing fears of robbing old bums. Bigger and jack met up and went to the movie theater and they masturbate while watching while thinking of they girlfriends. After they discuss Bigger's up coming job interview with Mr. Dalton bigger was so stupid he said he would rather go to jail than take a job through the relief agency.

Chapter 4 "Yessum"

In this chapter Bigger goes to meet with Mr. Dalton for a job.I tilted this chapter "Yessum" because of the nervousness of bigger when he was being interviewed. Every question he answered "Yessum'  I think Richard Wright was trying to tell how blacks changed when they get around whites.

Bloom Taxonomy Questions

What happened when Ms. Dalton walked in her daughter's room?

        A:Bigger covered her mouth so that she wouldn't make any noise because her mother would hear her and he was also trying to stay quiet because he didn't want her to know that it was another person in the room because he could loose his job. Bigger ended up suffocating trying to prevent the mother from hearing them

Can you provide an example of how bigger character is?

        A:Bigger reminds me of a pineapple they hard on the outside and sweet and soft  on the inside. Bigger tries to put on this hard and tough appearance but really can't handle what's coming.

Do you know another instance where someone was put in the shoes of bigger?

        A:No I know people who act like bigger and do things he done but some things you just don't do. A lot of people I know who put on a act like bigger they would have backed down so I can give bigger a little credit for that.

What do you see as a possible outcome of bigger?

        A:I think bigger is going to get tired and try to change into becoming a bigger man. I think he is a person who is always trapped in the wrong and feel as if it's worthless and he can't do right. I think farther down he is going to try to get his self together.

Can you create a recipe to make a bigger?

        A:  1 pinch of toughness

            1/2 of sweetness

              1 pinch of innocent

             1/4 of always in the wrong

Procedures:

          1. First put a pinch of toughness in the bowl

          2. Then add a 1/2 of cup of sweetness

          3. Let it sit for about 10 minutes

          4. Then add a pinch of innocent

          5. Then add 1/4 of always in the wrong

          6. Mix all of that together

          7. Put it in a rat infested house

          8. You got yourself a bigger

Do you think bigger is a good or bad person?

          A:I feel as if you are always responsible for your own actions.In the case of bigger I think that he is a little in between.I think that we he lives is apart of what bigger do and say. Did you ever heard of the saying you can take a person out the hood but you can't take the hood out a person and I think that saying represents bigger a lot of stuff that he do I think fall a little on the neighborhood he was in and the environment he was raise in. Then I wonder he is a bad person because he is responsible for all his action plenty of kids act professional and was raise up in the same environment as him. Bigger has to learn to not blame everything for what he has done be take responsibility for his own actions.
