Franklin’s essay was very dull. His form of writing is
outdated and it confused me and even frustrated me that I had to read it.
Franklin talks about his pursuit of wanting to further his education on printing. However,
his essay was aimed more towards a particular audience, that I am just not part
of.
Rose seemed to be aimed to a diverse audience. No matter
where you are from or what kind of schooling you got, it always seems to be a reoccurring
problem that somewhere in the mix, there is a grammar school teacher who is uninterested
in their students lives and aren’t very encouraging. Their focus is elsewhere
and it makes you wonder, “Why the hell did you want to become a teacher?”
Malcolm X’s essay was about his experience in prison and
teaching himself how to read on his own. He gives you examples about how he
would read his dictionary by light in his jail cell and how the reading affected
his life forever. Malcolm draws you in with his writing and even seems to help
encourage people to go after their wants and dreams. I loved how Malcolm X
shows his determination to better his own life.
