I liked Malcolm X the most, because he
was the most exciting to read. He gave amazing examples. He made you feel like
you were there with him threw out his whole life. For example,
"fortunately, right outside my door was a corridor light that cast a glow
into my room. The glow was enough to read but, once my eyes adjusted to it. So,
when "lights out", came I would sit on the floor where I could
continue reading in that glow." This shows how much he loved to learn and
I loved that he loved to learn and that he showed his love in his writing. I
also have a passion for learning so I felt a common interest. I think his drive
to learn was awesome. It is hard to stick things out sometimes but he showed how
he did it. But over all I liked that during his success story he didn’t sound
like he was bragging. He explained why he was sharing these things with his
reader. He showed that he wanted to inspire his readers to learn as well. I
also like that even when he was in jail he didn’t seem like a failure. He took
what he had and the time that he had to the best of his ability. I really
admire Malcolm X and I liked that he was honest are really gave me a glimpse
into his life!!!
O.k., great--can you add some specific quotations to add support to your thoughts above?
ReplyDeleteOH yes! sorry! I forgt to mention that!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you. Malcolm X's essay was my favorite as well, and for the same kind of reason. His influence is really profound and his passion for reading & knowledge is undeniable.
