The line that stood out to me from X’s narrative was surprisingly the last and final line. He said, “In fact, up to then, I never had
been so truly free in my life.” This line lingered in my mind because it has a lot of meaning to it. X is trying to say that gaining the ability to read and write allowed him to feel free in the world, even while incarcerated. This also opened my eyes to the world of reading because I have never been much of a reader, but I may eventually attempt reading for fun. Incarceration positively affected X as it allowed him to feel free in his head, because he has unlocked the ability to fluently read and write.
One thing I want to imitate from these writers in my literacy narrative is their story telling abilities and the descriptive details that they use in their writing. I will be somewhat be telling important moments in my life and I would like to properly describe those moments like these other writers. I personally favor how X wrote, because he seems like a casual writer, that gets the message across.
