English 073 My View by reading Malcolm X Malcolm X changed his life by reading a lot of books. He was just a street man before. The good thing is for him to be consent that prison was the first thing that made his life to be changed. By reading every kind of books he learned a lot for people, places, and events for history. It was very hard for him to read in the prison because he couldn’t read late nights.
It is also the hope we all as a human being need. As a clear example we can use the essay “A Book-Writing venture” by Kim Yong Ik, where even though Kim’s novels got rejected several times by publishers he never gave up and kept trying. This example informed us that perseverance made Kim reach the dream of his novels being published. It also showed us how a perseverant person would definitely succeed in live. Another example could be me that even though the doctors told me I was not going to recover the sense of my left leg I kept doing my therapies.
in WikiAnswers.com) I am a computer science major and have to deal with logical statements a lot. I have always seen that implementing what is written in the book is sure rite but if I experiment my own ideas I turn out to be a better coder. We were given an assignment last semester about writing a program to search a phonebook for an individual’s phone number. Sure we had an exact same example in the book and surely everyone followed the directions in the book and scored well in the assignment. But I had to implement my own thoughts in the assignment I tried new things and saw how they worked out for me and made a totally different program for what was in the textbook.
Grant also questions justice throughout the novel. “How do people come up with a date and a time to take life from another man? Who made them God?” (Gaines, 157). In the adaptation Grant would be more open about defending Jefferson and would continue to visit him in his jail cell. Another behaviour Grant would have in the adaptation would be learning from Vivian’s teaching methods.
Benjamin Franklin was a founding father, revolutionary figure, inventor, co-author to the Constitution, husband and father. He was fascinated by al types of learning and wanted to do whatever he could to make life better for mankind. He starts out writing his Autobiography as a writing so his son William, but in the end the book appeals to a much larger audience. The tone of the book changes as well with the introduction of the 13 virtues, it moves from a story of one man’s life to a manual for self-imporvement. W hether Franklin meant for his book to move in the direction of self improvement or was written to tell the tale of his life, the book becomes a model for self help books to come.
Alexie, himself, is telling the story about how he learned to read through comics, but is also explaining how it helped him understand. He goes into detail about how his house was full of books because his father loved to read. He was surrounded by books and things to read and could grasp the concept of reading. The main point, I believe, the author is trying to make in this article, is that there are many ways to learn new things without actually going to school. He learned from his fathers books, and comic books, and applied himself step by step.
In the reading Malcolm X states “Many who today hear me somewhere in person, or on television, or those whose red something I’ve said, will think I went to school far beyond the eighth grade. This impression is due entirely to my prison studies.” From reading this quote I felt like people that knew him expected for to sound uneducated because he didn’t pass the eighth grade but he proved them wrong. And who ever reads this reading that didn’t finish school I believe it would motive them maybe to continue school
