3. The connection that i have found between this story and Bigger from Native Son is that both the black man kidnapped the white girl. The whereabouts of the white girl are unknown  to the public and most importantly to the family. They both had possession of the white girl's car. Even though the black man from the story was calling to threaten the white chick, Bigger was sending a letter to the family, both letting them know that something was wrong. It seems that they had both planned the outcome of the kidnapping. Eventually, at the end, it seems that they had discovered who the person pulling the strings was. They were both suspects of the matter and they were both black.

Academic Progress Reflection

I think that academically i have been doing a bit better than what i have been so far this year because i am making sure that i do all of my homework and turn it in. My study habit has changed in the way that i am doing all of my homework as soon as i get to  my house. It has not changed in the sense that I still do not study for any upcoming tests.

Ending of book 2 flight (Native Son)

1. My reaction was thinking that Bigger finally got what he deserved. It was a feeling of excitement and of suspence and a feeling of knowing what was going to happen at the same time.
2. "He would shoot when they were closer and he would save one bullet for himself. They would not take him alive." (250). This quote is poignant to my opinion because Bigger had finally lost all fear that he once had even though he knew that the end of him was near. He was facing the whole world and yet he felt a kind of pride in what he was doing. He felt killing as many as he could and then killing himself as a hero thing, even though in reality it was the opposite.
3. The titles of the three books are "Fear, Flight, and Fate." I think they are titled this way because each title represents the main feeling of the book.
