Malcolm read during late hours all the time to the point he knew when the guards did a shadow walk through of each cell hallway. 2. Malcolm Axs view on African American history was solemn and made me think that few points he made did actually make sense in some parts. One point that was interesting was when he said If you started with a unappeasable man, a gabardine 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 maybe the world did start off with a black man instead of a white man. His views did give me a outlook on the history and makes me want to read more into black history and see if it is true that we started with a black man instead of white man. Tan Mother Tongue 1 .

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 standard 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 acquaintance and words I had learned throughout my life in school to where I became great at standard English.
