Step 4

I think that the autobiography of malcom x is needed in literature class because i feel that a class should read this book as a group in black history month because all of the stuff that malcom x is talking about in his book is very important and is needed to be told to all races not just black and white i feel in the beginning and middle of the book malcom x was a little racist because he was just going off of what he had experienced and saw then later on in the book when he had some encounters with some white people who were not racist he saw that all people are not the smae regardless of the kin of the perosn i feel malcom x was a very outspoken man and he did do soem good in our country some people feel malcom x was against dr. king but thats not true they were both figihting for two totally different things. the importance of this novel was to let people know what really went on back in the day how the whites treated the african americans and malcom didn't knind anything he told you everything he possibly could of told you another thing that is importnat about thtis book is that you can fall and easily get back up meaning malcomhad went to using drugs then once he got locked up he changed for the better and made something out of himself so you can do wrong one day then do right the next malcom x also showed young black ment hat they can make something out of them selves regardless of what people tell you. I feel that this book was one of the best books i have ever read because i din't really understand the importance and truth of malcom x's life until i read this book and took the time to understand it.

Step 3

I really couldn't find anything other than what i already have on malcom x sense it was a autobiography telling you all that was needed to know about the life and adventures of malcom x.

malcom x chapter 17-19

in the last couple of chapters malcom goes to saudi arabia where he meets whit people that do not beleive in racisma nd malcom then sees that all white people are not cruel and mean so he writes a letter back home telling his family and he also goes through the process pf changing his name. So when malcom returns home the press wants to quesiton him about his trip figuring malcom would have something negative to say but when malcom speaks only good tings about the people the press does not publish his story and that frustrates malcom. In 1965 malcom holds a meeting trying to unify all blacks all religions were welcome but whites were unable to join because malcom felt that the whites should try to get their people right first before joining with the blacks to try and change racism.

Duyring the friday along i will ride witha patrol officer through the eastside of town and see what a day is like with a police oofficer also during the day whatever the police does to someone i will see them so it won't be a secret because soem police officers stop people for fun because thety think scaring people is cute. Also when meeeting with detective saulters we will occasionally go over the law handbook and he will show me things that the book allows the law to do because it sis aid that if the law book does not have it in it then you cannot perorm those acts so some people feel its not fair when the police does certain things but what they do not know is that the police cannot do what they don't have the authorization to do from t he law handbook
