This is Shawanda Smith reporting from the scene of Mr. Dalton house this was the last place that Mary Dalton was seen. Copes have one person in custody a negro man about 20-years old. He is said to be Mr. Dalton driver. The nigger boy said that Mary is not missing but has run away. That is all on this story but if you have any information about this case call the free hotline. Hope to have more information about this case and back to you Dimitris.

BREAKING NEWS
This is Dimitris Koutsialis reporting live from what is now a crime scene. It has been 4days from the last time that I reporting and asking you for help to find Mary Dalton who was said to be missing. In this house behind me is were Mary’s body lay she was found in side if the furnace it is said that here body was burned for so long that only bones were found. Her head was not located with her body when they found the head it was badly beaten her head was cut off. There is now a man hunt for Mr.Dalton driver a nigger that goes by the name Bigger Thomas if you know the were about of Bigger Thomas feel free to call.

Chapter 3- Shut up and drive

this part in the book is when Bigger just started working for Mr.
Dalton and he had to take Mary any were that she wonted to go and she just turned into another person she stared smoking and she asked Bigger was he going to tell.

I think that Richard Wright wrote this part in the book because he people have to personality for example Mary was a good girl when she was in the house with her family but when she is by her self she gets drunk and smoke

Chapter 2 - Nightstick 29-31

This chapter is about Bigger and Jack in the movie thearter masterbating and talking about how they wish there girlfriends were ther and what they would do to them if they were there.

I think that Richard Wright wrote this part in the book because he was trying to be funny an tell what boys talk about and do when there girl friends are not around and what boy talk like and how they act.

Chapter 1- Get down or laydown

Gus walked in side late for the job and bigger know that it was not to late to go but he had to pick a fight so they would not have to go rod a white man. When Gus came in to the pool hall Bigger made a fool of him he beat him up and then he put a knife to his neck and made him lick it.

I think this part was made because he wonted to let people know that even if you are big and you try to act big but there is always a weak spot in you that you are always scared of something and but you have to act big in font of your friends so they think that you are not scared of anything.

Should religion Be Taught in school?

Personally, I don’t think that religion should be banned from school. However, I don’t believe that we should be forced into religion in school or have mandatory classes on religion. Don’t get me wrong I am a Christian but I could see where people against religion in schools are coming from because, well… It hasn’t been proven.

I believe that If a teacher is Muslim and is a women they should be able to wear their kemars, vials and over garments while teaching. I don’t believe that they should have to take it off. I think that teachers should be able to teach religion in classrooms without persuading or leading students in believing what that teacher believes in. I believe that because just because it is a religion people should still know about it.

I am working with David Tillmon. We are working on the history of tattoos in America. Last year I did a paper on John Fusaro and I realized that it would have been easier if I did something that I was interested in. So This year I 'm doing tattoos and I'm doing a documentary.. So hopefully it would be easier this year
