At the prison he would read the dictionary to construct a better understand of how to read a book and contend the meaning of every word.Malcolm was so interested in the dictionary he would spend three to four hours sitting on his cell home Just for the lig ht to read constantly. Malcolm read during late hours all the beat to the point he knew when the guards did a night walk through of each cell hallway. 2. Malcolm Axs view on African American history was surprise and do me think that some points he made did actually polish off sense in some parts. One point that was interesting was when he said If you started with a disconsolate man, a white man could be produced but starting with a Whitman, you never could produce a black man- cause the white gene is recessive (peg. 77). Malcolm made sense of the views of African American history to the point where reading this autobiography has me thinking that mayhap the world did start off with a black man quite of a white man. His views did give me a outlook on the history and makes me want to read to a greater extent into black history and see if it is true(a) that we started with a black man instead of white man.

As a kid the way I talked I would always use anti and consider it a word and would argue if it was a word or not to everyone. Looking back at it anti wasnt a word and I wasnt using standar d English my English was limited at the time to where some people could not understand what I was talking about half the time. As time went on my English got better with more knowledge and words I had learned throughout my life in school to where I became great at standard English.
