Malcolm X

How Malcolm X's "Learning to Read" relates to the first unit ::

In Malcolm X's paper he illustrates how he learned how to read in prison and he explains step by step how it impacted his life. Not only does he explain his learning experience he also gives us detail on his fascination with learning has grown. He gave us specific details on his steps of reading, such as reading the dictionary page by page. Malcolm X doesn't just explain about his learning experience, but he shares with us his excitement by stating "I could for the first time pick up a book and read and now begin to understand what the book was saying". This type of personal experience, in my opinion, makes me more interested in his autobiography. His enthusiasm gives me encouragement on learning things for myself even now as an adult. Convincing the audience that this is something worth reading and giving them motivation in their own life to do something spectacular is a great concept to apply towards my future papers and my blog. "Learning to Read" definitely draws a reader in and it has a wide range of who it could connect with. Malcolm X's autobiography on how he learned to read shows the significant educational impact reading had on his life, "I knew right there in prison that reading had changed forever the course of my life".
