Rylan Tyciak’s Reviews > Hidden Figures > Status Update

We got a new character introduced. Her name is Christine and she applied for NASA and received a job. She hasn't really contributed much to the story so far or caused any major turning points but she is still pretty new. It's currently around 1970 and they just sent the first man up into space to orbit earth 7 times. Katherine played a huge role into John Glenn making it to the moon, her efforts were displayed widely

NASA is officially starting their moon journey. Its also is kinda of cool and crazy that I'm reading about John Glenn who our local airport is named after. He is the first trainee that's going to be landing on the moon, I've also noticed that NASA is a perfectionist type company. I guess it has to been since they are risking lives to go to space, an example would be that they ran 1.3 million tests just to go to space

Since Russia is starting to catch up with technology, America took it upon themselves to advance ours. Katherine so far has made a huge impact and a few characteristics of her would be confident.smart, and tough. I say confident because she always backs up her work and doesn't let people walk all over her.

Although segregation is starting to get illegal its still major. A bigger conflict would be that Katherine is asking a lot of aggressive questions. She is trying to defend that being a woman doesn't means he is stupid but her actions are starting to show she might be let go soon.

NACA got their first electronic computer. Many of the human calculators are very concerned for their jobs and taking classes just in case they get let off. I predict that in the next few years the electronic computers will start to take over for the humans and they wont need the humans to work any longer.

Katherine was introduced this chapter. I've noticed the author has 2 chapters about each person or main character then goes on to another one. The author also shows that they are tied to each other with invisible strings. Sometimes they are around each other without even knowing the future they will have.

Racial segregation caused Dorothy to take a leave of absence and get her masters degree back in college. I've noticed throughout the chapters even if your a high rank they will still look down on you for your color. Her friend got promoted to work with models in the world fastest wind tunnel and it seems she will stay with the company based off her enjoyment for the work she is completing.

I haven't gotten a lot of information to type about but so far we can tell it was rough for the african american women. This book is more of a long essay. I'm used to the story being told in fist person but this book isn't like that.
