CRASH!!!!!
On September 9, 1938 at approximately 3:oo am 3 teenagers were found on the side of 31st and Indiana Road in a car that had been crashed dead into a tree. The driver looked to be a male about 18yrs old, a female in her teens and another male in his teens. As police and reporters gathered around the scene they found beer bottles in the back seat of the car along with a bottle of Rum, and Vodka. Police have stated that this was a case of teen drinking and driving, As police carried the bodies out of the smashed car parents and young teens gathered around watching as the three bodies were sadly put into the ambulance truck. Reporters and police urge parents not to let their children drive their cars on late nights out to parties where they know there will be drinking invloved. Police also say that laws should be inforced where teens are not allowed to drive after a certain amount of time or there will be fines involved.

NHD REFLECTIION
3/4/08
NHD REFLECTION!!!!!
1. The topic that I chose for NHD was the Desegregation of Girard College, The project type was an Exhibit, my partners were Quincy Adams, Katonya Leach, and Ashlee Kalfas.
2. What did you learn?
- I learned that Girard College was a major issue in the philadelphia community and that it was a stepping stone to desegregation in other schools as well, and many people faught for many years and they finally got what they wanted.
- What I learned by working in groups was that as long as you have focused and hard working people to work with your project will go just fine even though you may argue alot in the end your project comes out great. I learned that my project was what I made it and if I did’nt put anything in I got nothing out but overall throughout the whole NHD Project I learned that it not only benefits to your grade but to my knowledge as well because when you research a certain topic that you had no idea about you learn more and that too is a good thing about NHD.
- The experience that I had with NHD was a great experience in a way but it was stressful as well because being as though I was so into working on thiss project it was all I thought about meaning that I forgot about every other class that I had and just focused on NHD and basically failing in other classes.
SUCCESSES
3.Some of my successes were that I got my work turned in on time and I got a major good grade on my project which was a very shocking moment for me because I really did’nt think that I would get such a good grade on my project.
CHALLENGES
4. Some of the challenges that I had were mainly getting the work turned in on time and actually trusting my group members which in the end turned out to be a huge success for me.
5. I really would not suggest any changes be made for next year but to work harder to maintain that good grade that I got this year.

- If Bigger were and real person and here today I would ask him two questions, the First question would be Why was he afraid to show his fears knowing that he was afraid. The second question would be Why did he have second thoughts about taking the job at Mr. Dalton’s store.
ANALYSIS
4. What do you see as other possible outcomes for Bigger if he had not killed Mary?
Possible outcomes for Bigger if he had not killed Mary probably would have been that he would have not been on the run as he is in the book or he probably would have kept his job as a chauffer and maybe went to night school, married Bessie and lived happily ever after.
SYNTHESIS
5. Can you see a possible solution to Bigger and Gus’s conflict?
- I can really see a possible solution to their conflict. The First thing they could do is sit down and maybe talk to each other about their fears, their goals and future plans. They should talk about what they want to be in life. Second they could just be mature adults and forget about the whole thing and just be friends again. And Finally, they could they could put a plan together and follow through with it.
EVALUATION
6. Who do you think created Bigger, Bigger or society?
- There are three reasons as to why I think society created Bigger. First society created Bigger because in the time era that he lives in he has to be the way that he is because I that time period there is a lot of racism going on where there are people getting killed and Bigger has to play the tough guy role even though he is scared out of his mind so he has to play like he’s not afraid of anything. Second society created him because his friends aren’t as afraid of the things going on around them because they are tougher than Bigger so he has to prove to them that he is not afraid as well. Lastly society created Bigger because Bigger lives in a family that is trying to make it, he has no father figure in his life so he really has play two different roles, one being a father figure to his siblings meaning he has to be the man of the house taking the place of his father, and two being the tough guy along with his friends and being tough for the outside world around him.
