Chapter 10

This chapter is about Obama and how he is a community organizer.  Some of the people in the community get involved in the efforts, as well as their own reasons for why the are supposed to help.  In this chapter Obama gets to know some of the community leaders very well,  he also makes a difference in other peoples lives.  Obama and a woman that has been actively involved in the community go out on a date.  Chicago is overcome by death; all of these people are have very deep reasons as to why he or she are getting involved that Barack didn't expect.

Chapter 9

Obama and the Chicago projects.
Obama thought that the projects were different then he had originally thought that they were going to be. The projects to him were somewhat of a different sort which he could eventually deal with. He lived in a part of Chicago on which was called The Altgeld Gardens Public or The Gardens for short. He felt that The Gardens as well as all of Chicago needed some work to look better then what it looked right then and there. When he was at the meeting that he was at he looked out the window and saw some boys throwing some rocks at an old boarded up building that had been boarded up. When he saw this he said "What is going to happen to those boys? The alderman? The social workers? The gangs?".

Chapter 8

How was Obama's life different when he moved to Chicago from New York?
In 1983 Obama decided to become a community organizer. At the time there wasn't much time for detail to the idea. Some of his classmates in college asked him what exactly a community organizer does, and he couldn't answer them directly. Instead he would proununce on the need for change like is doing today and did during the campaign. Change in the White house, where Regan and his minions were carrying on their dirty deeds. According to him change would come from a grass roots. The change for Obama from New York to Chicago was sorta big one for him.
