Malcom X

As a group we discussed how the Malcom X reading relates to our first unit, as well as our individual thoughts on the reading. First of all the story talks about a educational experience that Malcom X had during his years in prison. He tells a detailed story paints a vivid picture in the readers head of what his educational experience was like. This helps the reader believe his story and definitley grasps your attention. What was interesting from this story was the impact the experience had on him and how his new teachings changed his life. This would be great to mention in our own paper...How did my educational experience change me? what was the result of this experience? What did I learn from it? Malcom begins his piece with some backstory, such as how he was a hustler and could write without using slang. He finished his piece by telling the audience that he is a different man and his interests have changed. What we can take away from this is that in our own paper it would be good to tell the reader who you were before our experience and how it changed you. I personally really like the way he gives you a good idea of the way he felt during his time in prison...The way he puts and emotion and passion into his story; it really helped my train of though flow.
