Malcolm X Reading

I found the Malcolm X reading to be interesting. It relates to the first unit because he is telling a narrative of how he learned to read in prison. He starts off with how he could barely read and was going to give it up entirely, until one day, he decided to start copying down everything in the dictionary. Trying to copy the entire dictionary provided motivation for him to improve his vocabulary and penmanship, and when he completed it, left him with a sense of satisfaction. He goes on to describe how that increased his reading and writing skills he grows to love reading; so much that he begins to break prison rules to read for a longer amount of time. I might write my paper on how I learned to read because I didn't learn how to read until I had motivation like Malcolm.If I do right my paper on learning to read, then many of the basic details may be similar.
