- A detail that stood out to me in Malcolm x’s narrative was that he stated “In fact, up to then, I never had been so truly free in my life”( Malcolm Pg 4). I found it extremely interesting how a person who is under such horrible circumstances and locked up in a prison can feel so free. It lingered in my mind because when I think of a prisoner, I see a person trapped with zero freedoms. Another reason why this lingered to me is because of how difficult it is to learn English and to become literate for some people and he was able to take advantage as a prisoner to learn, gain a massive connection to literacy.
- The one Narrative that stood out to me the most was Malcolm X. He tells his story of his struggles through prison and how he was able to overcome these challenges. He stated in his writing how he was amazed when opened the dictionary and saw so many words. Although he wasn’t able to even finish a sentence he continued to read for hours until he succeeded. We can see how Malcolm X overcame his hardships and has become a historic asset to black human rights.

I wrote about the same thing you did in question one so I can say that I agree with you. I don’t think Ive ever heard someone say they feel even more free then they did when they weren’t in prison.
I really agreed with when you said Malcom X and how fascinated he was when he discovered the dictionary had so many words.
