Bloom's Taxonomy Anyone ?

Knowledge:
Why were Bigger and Gus arguing in the pool room?
-Bigger and Gus were arguing in the pool room because Bigger knew Gus was afraid to rob Mr. Blum because he was a white man. Gus also knew that Bigger was afraid and was picking on him to cover up his cowardliness.

Comprehension:
What do you think would have happened if Bigger and his friends would have gone through with the robbery of Blum?
-I believe if Bigger and his gang were went through with the robbery, they would have got caught and the book would be swaying in a whole direction or them in jail or something similar.

Application:
If you have the chance, what question would you ask Mary about Bigger?
-If I had the chance, I'd ask Mary what she thought about Bigger. Also, I'd ask her why were her and her family different from most white people who reacted in a negative manner toward black people.

Analysis:
What do you think would have happened if Bigger did not kill Mary?
-If Bigger did not kill Mary, things would be a lot better for him. The book would probably become a bit boring, but with the way Bigger acted, something else could have led to him getting in trouble.

Synthesis:
Design a time machine to take you back to Mary's death. If you were him what would you have done if you were in his shoes in that situation?
If I was to travel back in time and stand in Bigger's shoes as him at the time he kills Mary I would do everything differently.
Because I knew Mary was drunk I would not take advantage of her like Bigger does. I'd act professional and reluctant to pick her up myself and carry her up stairs, but I do it overall. Also, while I gently put Mary in her bed and Mrs. Dalton was to walk in, I'd tell her the honest truth, that Mary was so drunken that she could not walk and I had to carry her upstairs and I was just doing my job, while trying not to get in trouble.
In conclusion, if I was in Bigger's when he killed Mary I'd do things differently. AS said above, I'd bring her upstairs and if caught, I'd tell the honest truth that I was just doing my job and I was trying to prevent any trouble.

Evaluation:
What do you think about Thomas family? Do you think they live and act like most black people in Chicago in the 1930s?
I think that Bigger's family acts and lives like most black people during that time period.
I believe this because in the book it's stated that the black belt is where all the black people because white people won't rent to the black people. Therefore, they are forced to live in the small, rat infested, homes. I also believe because they are looked upon as an inferior race, they are forced not to say anything bout it and just accept the situation. For this reason, I believe Bigger Thomas reacts scared and shyly when meeting the Dalton's for the first time.
In conclusion, I do believe the Thomas family acts like most black people in Chicago at that time because of how the white man sees them. They are just forced to accept the situation because of how society looks upon them.
