blooms taxonomy questions

Knowledge:

What happened after Mary and Bigger left the house?

After leaving the house, Mary tells Bigger about her other plans. Her plans was to meet up with her lover, Jan Ertone. Mary, Jan, and Bigger go to eat, while out Bigger becomes uneasy about being out with two white people. After awhile he calms down and decides to eat with them. Then they drink a little rum and decide to leave.

Comprehension:

Can you provide what happens, between Mary and Bigger later that night?

Later that night Bigger drove Mary to the Dalton’s home. Arriving there, Mary was to drunk to go into the house by herself. So a nervous Bigger, decides he will take to her bedroom. While in her bedroom, Bigger becomes a little horny and starts proceeding in sexual acts on her, until Mrs. Dalton enters the room. When she entered the Bigger became still like a statue. He knows that Mrs. Dalton is blind, but he is worried that Mary will alarm Mrs. Dalton that, Bigger is there. Mary starts to respond to her, so Bigger puts a pillow over her mouth. His action’s causes Mary’s accidental death.

Application:

What questions would you ask of Bigger?

My first and last question for Bigger would be. Why are you so horny all the time? Bigger was masterbating with his friend in the movie theatre. Why would you masterbate in a movie theatre. Also his plans to have sex with Mary didn’t go the way he wanted it to go. Right in the middle of his act, Mrs. Dalton came in. Then he ended up smothering her to death with a pillow. Something is seriously wrong with Bigger.

Analysis:

What do you see as other outcomes for Bigger?

I could see Bigger going to jail for killing Mary. Mrs. Dalton could have caught having sex with Mary, instead of preventing him of the opportunity. There are many possible outcomes that could take place. But this already has had an outcome.

Synthesis:

Can you see a possible solution to Bigger’s problems?

Bigger could go and talk to one of his friends about his troubles. Or maybe, Bigger could go and see a doctor, about why his hormones are so high. Also he could she a psychologist about all of his troubles. For example, him trying to get money, sexual problems, and also he killed a woman.

Evaluation:

Is there a better solution other than killing Mary?

I really don’t know what I would have done, in that predicament. I probably would have tried to escape from the home quietly. I not sure if I would have had put a pillow over her face. But I believe that I would really just run. I don’t what you could have done in this case. But my first option would to run.
