The Fear Inside pp. 22-28

• Summary - Bigger and Gus entered the poolroom and it was empty. They were early and Jack or G.H. hadn't arrived yet so while they waited they started a game of pool. Bigger was playing very poorly because he was worrying about Blum's and the robbery, but he was really afraid of the whole thought. They continued to talk about their plan and thats when Jack and G.H. come in. Bigger hiding his fear tried to make himself feel better picked a fight with his Gus. Jack and G.H. ageed to rob Blum's but Gus was still thinking about it. Bigger got aggravated and started an arguement with Gus. While fighting Biger thought of stabbing him, kicking him, slapping him, and he even made Gus lick his knife. After teh fight they all agreed to their plan. By Bigger starting a fight with Gus that was a way to hide his fear and flip the script to make it seem as if Gus was scared. he hid his fear by acting tough and putting on a front for his friends. By doing that Gus was scrared of him and didn't know what he was capable of so he agreedto rob Old Blum's.
  
• Analysis - Richard Wright was trying to show us two things, the fear inside of Bigger and his fear of showing his friends and even his family who he was. Bigger putting on a front shows that his friends don't really know who he is and their wasn't no family bond between them. Maybe he is scared to show his friends who he really is and they would of took advantage of him because they would of thought he was tough anymore. By letting his guard down he wouldn't feel comfortable his himself. Alot of people hide their fears but some do it in other ways.

Fears Of A Teenage Girl

Geometry Project - Mobious

Valley Forge

My topic for National History Day of 2007 is The American Revolution. The revolution began on April 19, 1775. For about a decade there were tension between Great Britain and the American colonies. The British passed a lot of laws to gain control over the colonies. The colonies thought they were abusing their power. The colonist protested and started a rebellion. They did not know that this would lead to a new nation.
We are working on the Valley Forge because we are also working with two of the freshmen. Since we are working with the freshmen we have to collaborate with them and write about Valley Forge because their topic have to be on something that happened in Philadelphia. Our topic is really focused on Valley Forge because it was where the army took a rest for the Revolutionary War.
We are doing a poster board. I did a paper last year so I wanted to try something new this year and work with some of my friends that I can depend on. Focusing on the battle of Valley Forge will be good because the Revolutionary War is a very broad topic. I want to learn about what exactly happened at Valley Forge that changed the Revolutionary War. I don’t think this topic will be a hard topic to study because I know there will be a lot of information about the War.
