After reading Malcom’s note about the experience he had in prison, I can think of a few things I am interested by. One of them is the idea that there are so many words in the english language. I relate to this because I have found so many words that I didn’t know existed. One thing I found interesting is the final line about him feeling truly free. I found this interesting because he feels truly free after being in prison? It seems unusual.
Looking back at the old literacy narratives we have read for this course, there a few ideas I feel like using. I want to use Medanis’ feeling of not readiness to explain transitions in my story (no spoilers lol). I also want to use the suffer less and plan out my writing over the next few days (I forgot the name). I also want to write my narrative as a sort of personal story, to try and create more relate-ability for my readers. But other than that, I cannot think of any other methods I want to use.
I also think that it’s interesting that he felt free in prison. I think it’s because he learned to read while in prison, and knowledge is liberating.
