Reading Annotation Blog#8

Learning to Read article is talking about how Malcolon X's reading process from the beginning to pro. Before he became the minister of Mr. Muhammad’s, he went to the prison. This was how he started to read and study. He started to read about History of the United States then around the world. Which book made him more interested reading in book were "Abolitionist Anti- Slavery" and "the father of History". Through reading books, what he had learned was how the white people brought up issues with other types of ethnicity. It is basically talking about how reading can change through your thinking?

"Reading it over and over, especially certain sections, helped me to understand that if you started with a black man, a white man could be produced; but starting with a white man, you never could produce a black man- because the white chromosome is recessive." (3) 


One
 was,
 “What’s
 your 
alma 
mater?” 
I 
told 
him,
“Books.” 
You
 will 
never 
catch 
me 
with 
a 
free 
fifteen
minutes
 in 
which 
I’m
 not 
studying 
something 
I 
feel 
might 
be
 able 
to 
help 
the 
black 
man.

Where 
else 
but
 in 
a 
prison
 could
 I 
have 
attacked
 my
 ignorance 
by 
being 
able 
to 
study 
intensely 
sometimes 
as
much 
as 
fifteen
 hours
 a 
day?
