NHD Reflection
NHD was an ok experience this year. It wasn't as crazy as it was last year, because it was more organized. We were given 90 minutes for the whole NHD. I just think we shouldn't do NHD anymore, because the 10th graders already got two years of experience so we should just be done with it.

Chapter 6
Chapter: Accidental Purpose
Pages 80-92
This chapter starts off with Bigger dropping Jan off. Jan takes out some pamphlets relating to Communism and hands it over to Bigger so he can read them. Bigger then drives Mary to her house. Throughout the ride Mary was really drunk and blurted out random comments. Bigger felt really unomfortable, because he felt as though she was looking inside of him. He hated her for that. When they got to her house she couldn't get out the car, because she was so drunk. Bigger her helped her out and then let her loose. She was stumbling allover the place so he decided to help her up to her room. As he got Mary to her room he laid her down on her bed and felt the urge to kiss her so he did. While he was doing this Mary's mother walked in the room. Luckily, she was blind and didn't catch him. Bigger didn't know what to do, he wanted to leave the room , but he was scared Mrs. Dalton would hear him. Mary started fumbling around so he placed his hand over Mary's mouth so she wouldn't make any noise. Mrs. Dalton knew that Mary was drunk , because she smelt whisky on her. Mrs. Dalton kneeled on the the side of Mary's bed and prayed for he. Mrs. Dalton then left the room with the impression that Mary was sleeping. Bigger removed his hand from Mary's mouth and found that he killed her. Bigger felt the whole room sink on him and saw the reality, he killed her. Bigger's first move was to get rid of her so he stuffed her in a trunk. After he stuffed her in the trunk, he came up with an idea which was to burn Mary's body in the furnace. He took the trunk to the basement where the furnace was and took her body out. He then saw that her whole body could not fit into the furnace so he had no other choice, but to cut her head off.
In this
When Bigger first lays Mary down on her bed he felt excited. He didn't kiss Mary, because of her beauty, which has always been there, but for the fact that she can never be his. Her being white and him being black separates them from one another. The arrival of Mrs. Dalton in Mary's room frightened Bigger, because of his skin color. Him being black traps him in a bad situation. After he discovers that he killed Mary the situation escalates. Once again his color traps him in a bad situation, but this time in a murder. Bigger killing Mary probably opened up a side of him that he knew was there, but would never actually come out.
