My Peom Tell Me

Tell me




Tell me how you feel. I can't wait.

Tell me the truth, that’s all you have to do.

Tell me that I'm the only one.

Tell me that you love me.

Tell me that you see me with you.

Tell me all the things you see.

Tell me I make you happy.

Tell me you feel I'm happy.

Tell me please. I can't take it anymore!

Tell me you have hope in me.

All you need to do is… tell me. poem

Chapter

Native Son
Mind Of Bigger


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…………


Really on the inside...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.

Math Games

High School or Middle School math students can create math games for elementary students. The games would help the elementary students get better acquainted with different math concepts, and if the older students were to visit the elementary classrooms in order to teach the games, tutoring skills would be promoted amongst the high school students!
