YOUNG WHITE GIRL VANISHED ON SATURDAY!!!


Mary Dalton daughter of Mr. And Mrs. Dalton was reported missing on Saturday morning around 2 o’clock. Ms. Dalton was last seen by their chauffeur and her mother. The latest on Ms. Dalton is that she was supposed to be hiding out with a communist. The accusation is still not clear yet. It was also known to be a kidnapping, judging by the kidnappers letter sent to the Daltons home. We have actually read the letter sent to the Dalton’s family. The Kidnapper has made it clear that he wants ransom money. The letter also had instructions for the delivery of the ransom money. This letter was not sent in the mail, so we don’t have an address of the kidnapper. Mr. Dalton said the letter was left under the door. Mr. Dalton said the signature was “Reds”. We have heard from the Dalton’s family and they are willing to pay the ransom money. Mr. Dalton has made it clear that he does not want the police to be in this kidnapping. It is said that in the letter the kidnapper requested that the police does not be contacted.

Even though Mr. Dalton does not want much help from the police, we still ask you to speak up if you know anything about this case. Please contact the new paper, Thank you.

National History Day Reflection

In the National History Day competition this year i learned a lot about the topic i chose. During the process of making a documentary was hard at times but overall was a good experience. I think this year working with partners helped work better as a team in other subjects and other projects. At times during the process of making this project there was a lot of frustration and confusion. Many times I felt like giving up, but i didn't. There were ups and downs to this project but my partners and I worked long and hard and got the project done. In doing this project from research i learned a lot of information on racial riots happening in previous history from the the Tulsa riots to the Detroit riots.

1.Knowledge: Can you tell why bigger acts the way he does. Why is does he act so mad all the time?

Bigger may be acting so mad all the time because of this life style. I mean he lives in a one-room apartment with his mother, little brother and sister. The boys have to turn around so the girls can dress. Bigger may also be acting like that because him and his mother does not get a long so well. In the book his mother told him “Sometimes I wonder why I birthed you” and he responded “Maybe you ought to left me were I was. That is not the way a mother and son should be talking to each other.

2.Comprehension: Who are the key characters of this book, and why are they the key characters? 

The key characters of this book are Bigger and Mary. Bigger is the key character because the whole book is talking about Bigger and what he is doing. Mary on the other hand is also a key character because she came in the first book and they talked about her through out the whole book.

3.Application: What question would you ask f Bigger?

If I were to meet Bigger I would ask him what was his child life like. To add more to that I’m saying does the way he act now effect the way he is. Is that the reason why he is going around killing people, smoking and ect. 

4.Analysis: What problem do you think Bigger has with himself?

I think the problem Bigger has with himself is that he feels that people don’t thanks him for the good things he does. Which makes him feel bad. When he does well he will always be the bad guy. As they said in the book say “YOU CAN’T WIN!”

5.Synthesis: If you were to compose a song about Bigger’s life what would it be about?

If I were to compose a song about Bigger’s life it would be about how he grow up in a home that was small and no space to his self. It would also be about how he felt being around his mother. 

6.Evaluation: How would you have handled the situation with Bigger in the room alone with Mary being drunk?

I would have left Mary in the room and left to go to my room.
